As part of the set up of Goals Inc and www.livemygoals.com I have had the good fortune to rub shoulders with a lot of smart people. Many of them entrepreneurs.
So many of these successful entrepreneurs say the same thing...
Without fail, each of them have stated how small amounts of action every single day towards an important purpose was more important than anything else that they did.
No grand strategic document, no bolt from the sky was the main cause of their tremendous success. Just honest, "stay in tune with your customers" stuff and the ability to adapt and evolve quite quickly.
Many of them argue that , the success simply evolved out of little things "they stumbled on."
The thing is - they also persevered through times when no one "got it" They had goals , but were also determined to "see it through"
The more action you do each day, the more chance you have of stumbling into success, whether that be in your business, your career or your relationships.
