Writing and Marketing - Even Tiny Action Steps Can Produce Huge Results
By Karen Cioffi
"Someone is sitting in the shade today becausesomeone planted a tree a long time ago."
This Warren Buffet quote inspires me. It's simple, yet so amazingly powerful.
1. A tiny seed can create something as massive as a tree, even a sequoia tree.
Think of the giant sequoia tree in California, USA. It averages around
26 feet in diameter, weighs around 4,189,000 lbs. and reaches heights of
275 feet. According to Wikepedia, "Record trees have been measured to
be 311 feet in height and over 56 feet in diameter. The oldest known
giant sequoia based on ring count is 3,500 years old."
The seed of the sequoia tree is 0.16–0.20 inches long, 0.039 inches broad, and 0.039 inches wide.
Hard to imagine, isn't it.
Well, this can easily relate to writing, to content marketing, to business . . . to just about everything in your work and life.
Small positive actionable steps, no matter how tiny, can create massive
results. You may think your writing and marketing efforts aren't moving
you forward, but think of how long it takes that tiny seed to grow into
that tree that gives shade.
2. What you sow today can have benefits for many tomorrows.
Time will pass whether you take action or not. If you have an idea, take
action now. Don't wait for tomorrow or until you have more time or
until you have more money. Take action now. The benefits may turn out to
be bigger than you could possibly imagine.
You may reap the benefits of your writing or content marketing or
business efforts far into your future, so take that initial step. Or,
maybe it's expansion that you're thinking about, or a new strategy.
Keep in mind though that every living thing needs sun, water, and food
to grow. So, when you take that step (plant that seed), be sure to give
it the nurturing it needs to become what you believe it can be.
Plant that seed today!
