Most important step

The most important step a man can take. It’s not the first one, is it? It’s the next one. Always the next step.

~ Brandon Sanderson

It’s so easy to get caught up in firsts. First time opening your doors as a business. First client. First successes. First failures.

They capture our imagination, give us a sense of trepidation, and they are the stories we pass on to those who follow.

At the end of the day though, whether the day has been a success, a failure, a first, or a 50th, the most important question we need to ask ourselves is “now what?”

What will I do now?

How can I make tomorrow better?
