Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times-Bestselling Author:No-nonsense, back-to-basics principles to achieve excellence every day from “the uber-guru of business” (The Economist). No matter the ups and downs of economic indicators or the whirlwinds of new technologies, the patented Tom Peters approach to business and management remains as effective as ever. As essential for freelancers and small-business owners as it is for the heads of major corporations, The Little Big Things is a rousing call-to-arms to American business to get back to the basics of running a successful enterprise. An avowed enemy of conformism and the status quo, Peters shaped the idea of modern management. In The Little Big Things, he offers 163 ways to excel at the “people side of business”—and reminds us that rather than thinking about Grand Outcomes, we need to focus on excelling today and every day, because it’s the small things that customers notice, it’s the small things that make a lasting impression, and it’s the small successes that lead to something big. “The father of the post-modern corporation.” —Los Angeles Times “It is [Tom] Peters—as consultant, writer, columnist, seminar lecturer, and stage performer—whose energy, style, influence, and ideas have [most] shaped new management thinking.” —Movers and Shakers: The 100 Most Influential Figures in Modern Business “Buy this book.” —Stephen R. Covey

How is such a disparity possible? Little Things Big Returns reveals why and how companies miss the little things that draw customers in or turn them away. Most importantly, this book explains what companies can do to close the gap? Story after story is shared about how successful companies hone in on little things to create long-lasting loyalties. By little things I mean human things, the kindnesses and considerations that surprise people and create feelings they never forget. Think of the little things as the moments that matter most to your customers. How your customer feels in those moments creates the defining elements of your brand and your business. Those little things become the stories of your company that your customers share with family and friends. When those experiences are positive and memorable, customers start to depend on, become loyal to and even fall in love with your company. You'll also come to realize that doing what matters most for your customers costs very little. Many examples in this book demonstrate how doing the little things well makes a big difference and is highly profitable. You just need to change your attitude and resolve to make your customer's experience the central motivation of your operations. After all, how much does it cost to change your attitude? When your company is passionate about doing the little things that create memorable experiences, your customers beat a well-worn path to your door and your business becomes an exciting, flourishing example of a company at its very best.

The basketball team encouraged and lifted up the nine-year-old. The nine-year-old encouraged and lifted up the basketball team. This is the story of how a local high school basketball team helped my son, Patrick, through the difficult chemotherapy he was receiving to treat stage three acute lymphoblastic lymphoma. They didnt know anything about Patrick other than that he was a big fan when the season started. As the season went on, all thirteen players began to reach out to Patrick; eventually he became part of the team. Their interactions and support gave Patrick windows of time when he was not a cancer patient. He was a fan and a teammate. Patrick served as an example to the team that there is more to life than basketball. He showed them that life is The Big Game and that the little things really do matter. I think this is a great story, and all young athletes should read this. It reminds us all that there is always somebody watching you and you are making a difference in their life, one way or another. Dan Harwood, teacher and basketball coach at Magruder High School
