This is a load of crap. We cant just rely on small continuous improvements. Sometimes we need break through changes, and the sudden change of habits to better our life and our behaviour. Small steps improvement is to slow and risky when our success requires big changes quickly.

Haha, Dan, Kai Zen right here!! It (might be) very hard, if not impossible for a new guest to your blog to go back and read all the posts from the begining of the year, but you my friend, make it easy for everyone by gradually read all your posts by doing what you’ve done here!! Once again, Thanks man. I love reading especially this one.

Yep Christine… the hunger for success coupled with a spirit of gratitude will open floodgates of riches and happiness.

hi daniel,am actually encauraged that someone is hangry for success!i thought i was nuts for me to want more from me.you see,am never comfortable were i am,i dont believe that any human being should get comfortable with what they have,when you think you have made it there is someone else making hundred times better than you.am not saying that you become greed for money but success never ends.and thats me in short!i think love for success is the best gift anyone can give themselve.

@ Ken – There is so much knowledge on the Internet sometimes I get overwhelmed. At the end of the day, it depends on what you are looking for. If you look for, say, Personal Development stuff you will find heaps. Never heard of discipline for the sake of discipline’s case. But it does not hit me as particularly evil.

@ Paula – you seem very eager to move on from baby steps to adult steps hehe. You will. All we are doing at the moment is setting up the foundation, covering all the bases and incrementally succeeding. Eventually that will gain momentum, and we can then call ourselves “adults” in success. All the best.

I’ve been a self improvement junkie since I was a kid and I’ve used the concept of baby steps in many areas of my life for years. It works for me! I remember you mentioned Kaizen to me a few months ago, Daniel; it’s great to see you advocating it here mate.

Cheers,
Nyomi

P.S. Watch the award-winning 1991 comedy “What About Bob” with Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss to see baby steps in action. It’s an oldie but a goodie!

What i honestly have an issue with is eastern philosophy of discipline for discipline sake…dangerous stuff in the wrong hands. but thats a whole different topic…otherwise the concept of baby steps and improving yourself everyday by doing small things…guarding your thought life etc is a very good thing.

I love the Kaizen concept.. never heard of it but now I know what it is and I think it is awesome.
Even those giants once took the baby steps so I guess we all begin from there..
Then as we grow in life we can make bigger ones.
May your steps never slide… You shall never miss any of the steps but learn to enlarge your bounderies..
Thank again Dan.

What a great concept! I had heard the term kaizen being usee by people i knw but had never understood wat it meant & didnt bother 2 ask.i agree that its so much easier 2 do anything in small increamental steps rather than large leaps as the task won’t appear unacheivable.its such a good concept 2 apply in all aspects of one’s life as u have pointed out and frm now on i will endeavour 2 lead a ‘kaizen’ lifestyle.
Great blog Daniel,keep up the great work!
