Podcast Episode 289: Why “Almost” Can Be Dangerous

Jun 24, 2017 | In The Loop

In the Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

 

In this episode, Andy reads a chapter from The Little Things on the concept of “almost.”

 

A little thing (like 1/16th of an inch) can make a huge difference.

  • Most people attempt to create the big picture all at once when starting a new endeavor. When the big picture doesn’t appear as quickly as they hope, they get discouraged.
  • Small, strategic moves can yield massive growth down the road.

 

Tune in to hear Andy’s story of how a tiny miscalculation led to a scary situation at sea.
