How ‘1 degree actions’ can produce 100% results

As a Life Coach, I have the privilege of being with people as they make changes in their life.

It is becoming more and more apparent that it’s the little actions we take that have the potential for greatest change.

As an example, I’d like tell you the story of our daughter Clair’s growing business.

If you visit this link, at the bottom of the page you’ll see our gorgeous middle daughter Clair. She’s 23yrs and her full time work (along with her husband Prav) is being the Children’s Pastor of one of the largest churches in Australia. She runs a dynamic children’s church that has over 350 children from toddlers to tweens.

And on the side, she runs her Hire an Umbrella business. The story of how this came about is a wonderful example of small actions leading to something big.

Two years ago she and Prav were preparing to get married. She wanted some umbrellas in case it rained on the day. Now, most people would probably have gone and found the cheapest umbrellas that would last the day and have bought them. Instead, Clair decided to register a business name and buy them at wholesale price.

After the wedding, she was left with about 30 white umbrellas. What would you have done with these? Perhaps given them away (still unused) as presents, given them to a charity, stored them in a cupboard for a very wet picnic day? Not Clair, she decided to take another small action and with her registered business name set up a website offering these umbrellas for hire in Sydney….

…except that orders started to come in from Melbourne and Brisbane.

So, she bought some more umbrellas, black and white; organised some friends in Melbourne and Brisbane including her mum to arrange delivery for a share of the profit and suddenly she had a business in three states!

Now the orders started to come in thick and fast, so she bought heaps more, including some clear bubble umbrellas and bright pink ones for brides who like something different. With a little help from her Dad, she got ranked on Google #1 for terms like “hire an umbrella” and “umbrella hire”.

And now she is looking for someone to manage this business in Sydney as she’s missing out on orders due to working full-time as a Pastor!

Talk about small actions reaping enormous rewards! I think Prav is already imagining his retirement life in a few years time

This video says all the above in its message. It’s well worth a few minutes of your time to watch.

I hope today you are encouraged to take some 1degree actions that have the unseen potential of making massive change in your life.

If you have a story to tell about how this has already happened to you, please leave a comment so others are inspired.

Have a relaxing and enjoyable Easter Break
