My friend Erin Darby wrote a nice piece about “small successes leading to big ones.”

I love how she’s able to avoid getting distracted by the long-term goal of big money or publishing her first book, and able to just focus on the step she’s currently on.

Good stuff. Check it out if you get a moment.

Keep the faith,
