In business and life some little things are important. Saying thank you, remembering birthdays, returning the favour - that kind of stuff.
Most little things are not important.
I was reading a thread on here the other day about a guy who wanted to quit procrastinating and get moving with starting a business. He went in straight away and started selling on Amazon and Ebay. He made a few mistakes, altered course slightly, got an account banned, learnt many lessons along the way but in 45 days he made $4500 and proved that taking action pays off.
What is the little thing?
One of the people reading the thread, who presumably was impressed by the immediate action taken and the results gained, asked the question: "Do you use a personal or business bank account? Can you recommend a specific branch to bank with?"
Talk about missing the point and focusing on the little things.
All that thread was focused on just getting out there, doing something and making it happen and the guy reading is stuck wondering who to open a bank account with.
Little things like that, although important over time, are not going to make or break your business, they're just going to slow down or put off getting started.
