Focus on A-B

​Colleagues,
 
Today we continue the series on the twenty most important things I have learned from others.
 
Focus on A-B
 
My mind always goes to the big idea. There is good in that, but usually it is better to focus on the next step. Stay focused, be simple, and just get better incrementally. Being a bit better today than yesterday is enough. Any small improvement today is more valuable than a big change months from now.
 
I should confess, of all the wisdom this month, this is consistently the hardest one for me to follow. I love big ideas and grand plans, but they only work when we can break them down into A-B steps. 

I’ll be away from email for a while, but please feel free to respond to this series and I will get back to you after my return.
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
