How Doing Only A Little Works
How Doing Only A Little WorksMy son Jack (right) turned 14 in September
which makes him eligible to compete at the Noosa Triathlon - one of the world's best (and biggest triathlons).So Jack and I are doing the event as a team - I'm doing the 1.5 km (about 1 mile) swim and 40 km (25 mile) bike ride and Jack is doing the 10 km (6.2 mile) run.
Jack and I went for an 8.5 km run last night and my 12 yo son Harry tagged along on his bike. He was amazed "Jack, how can you run this far?"
A Little A Day
Jack's been training for a month or 2 for the race - he started off with a 20 minute slow jog.
- 2 days later was another slow jog.
- 2 days later was another slow jog.
- 2 days later was a faster run for 20 minutes.
All easy stuff. Nothing dramatic. No huge secret.
And on it goes.
Jack's done a 10.5 km run this week and a quicker 8.5 km run.
Interestingly, last night's run was a very slow jog - as slow as we could go basically. And it was still a minute faster than Jack's fast run over the same distance last week.
Things get easier.
It's The Same With Marketing
And it's the same with marketing your business - spend 20 minutes a day on it each and every day and you will see results. Every now and then spend an hour on it. Then back to 20 minutes.
And just like Jack's running, before you know it the marketing is even easier and the results even better.
Cheers

The little fella did well.
He was probably the youngest of the 5,000 competitors (14 yo was the youngest you could compete - he turned 14 4 weeks ago).
Would be pretty intimidating running along with adults and trying to keep up.
But triathletes are a very encouraging and friendly bunch and they gave him enormous encouragement as he went - he said there were pprobably 100+ who said "Well done, keep going mate" etc to him.
