Small Wins add up to fuel success in life and business

Everyone is focused on the big wins and the splashy success stories. That’s what gets the clicks on web articles and even newspaper sales. What you won’t see celebrated in the headlines are the small wins. So why should you care about the small wins? When you stack up small wins over time, that leads to a story of success. Big gains and overnight success stories are the exceptions, not the rule. Most people live their lives and experience growth both personally and professionally just a little bit at a time. To hear Scott expand on this idea more, listen to this episode of The Amazing Seller!

Scott has been through a lot of these same scenarios and he has a vast network of colleagues whose wisdom he can draw upon.
