OTO Episode 65: Small Wins Big Progress

Operators To OWNERS

The Virtuous Cycle; a very cool sounding term for the concept of using small wins to build momentum. A virtuous cycle is a cycle of wins and progressive movement in areas that matter to you. This means you're making measurable or visible progress in your areas of salient interest.

As Owners of our personal and professional lives it is up to us to set ourselves up for success every day. We must manage our daily lives as well as manage our days in order to create this momentum.

In my personal opinion the best way to begin this momentum is by creating re-occurring TO-DO's or Non-Negotiable daily tasks. This can be things like daily workouts, reading, refection or thinking time. These activities can range from 5 minutes to 20 minutes each BUT they will fill your internal cup and create small wins BEFORE your day starts; allowing you to begin that day's virtuous cycle.

If you are successful in this you can increase the chances you will have a positive day as well as carry momentum into your daily goal based To-Do list.

To learn more about why the Virtuous cycle is so important and how you can harness it; tune in! I promise the positive feelings you will garner from this technique are well worth the listen!
