The Self-Employed Life 263: Rhett Power- How Small Action Steps Lead to Big Changes
Forming good habits is not nearly as easy as it sounds. So often, we set high goals for ourselves and then are quickly discouraged when we can't immediately meet them. Instead of making huge, overwhelming goals, we can instead create small action steps to take every day and re-make our habits. Rhett Power knows just what it means to make changes and find success, one day at a time.
Rhett Power co-founded of Wild Creations toy company in 2007. By 2010 Wild Creations was the fastest growing business in South Carolina, and named Blue Ribbon Top 75 US Company by the US Chamber of Commerce. The Wild Creations team has won over 40 toy innovation awards. In 2015 Rhett was named one of world's top business bloggers. He is also an international speaker, an executive coach, a writer for Inc. and Success Magazines, and the author of the Entrepreneur's Book of Actions and One Million Frogs, both about his experiences founding and running companies.
