How can you take small steps to success? How does the domino effect apply to accomplishment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking small steps to success is a smart way to get there. When you attack your goals by starting with the one, right thing, it leads to bigger things\u2014you build energy in a geometric progression. Success builds on success, sequentially, as you move from One Thing to another until you reach the highest level possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Steps to Success <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you prioritize so you\u2019re focusing on the right thing at the moment, everything after that subsequently falls into place like a progression of dominoes<\/strong>. Each domino represents a small amount of energy and as your dominoes fall, the energy in the string builds so that your final results are astounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1983, physicist Lorne Whitehead determined that a single domino can bring down another domino that\u2019s 50% bigger. Another physicist tested and confirmed this in 2001, using eight dominoes of plywood, each 50% larger than the one before. The first was two inches tall and the last one thirty-six inches tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The domino effect allows you to take small steps to success. When you attack your goals by starting with the one, right thing, it leads to bigger things\u2014you build energy in a geometric progression<\/strong> like Whitehead\u2019s progressively larger dominoes. To extend the math in his example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
