The First Step

The news this morning was again just 'bad news' more redundancies,enemployment rising and house values falling which leads me to the thought...

'How can we/I make a difference, perhaps a movement of GROWTH (the opposite of recession)???'

Everything begins with a first step... and then another... and then another.

Little things can make a big difference

What could you and I do to grow... our businesses, our wealth, ourselves?

Here's some thoughts to begin:

1. Choose to save a little every day. Why not get a big glass jar and put £1.97 in every day. Collect loose change, choose not to buy a coffee from a chain... it will soon mount up and provide you with options
2. Shop in local shops - Make a list then spend in local shops, and keep the money in the local economy
3. Smile - And give ASTOUNDING service, be pleasant, enthusiastic... POSITIVE
   
4. Say 'Yes' more - As many of you now I've seen the film, and read the book... and YES it could make a difference.
5. Support others - Because you can
6. Be busy, take action... but not too busy that you don't think
7. Invest in yourself... get healthy, read, and step up your learning. As every life-saver knows you need to sort yourself out first
8. Raise your standards - There has never been a better time to improve our game
9. Take responsibility - Let's not leave it to someone else
10. Talk to new people - This is a time for new activities, new ideas and new actions
    

Lots we can do, lots I can do

I look forward to hearing your thoughts
