Smaller Jumps versus Bigger Updates

Let's review some of the benefits of smaller jumps versus bigger ones.  I’m talking about making a few small changes to your website, course, or community, instead of hundreds of changes that not only change a lot of things at once but may also take months to complete.

• Benefits of Smaller Changes

  • Faster Implementation - You can launch training updates within days or weeks rather than waiting months to see any progress

  • Easier to Test and Measure - With fewer things changing, you can clearly identify what's working and what isn't

  • Less Overwhelming for Your Audience - Students and community members can adapt gradually without feeling confused or lost

  • Lower Risk of Breaking Things - Smaller tweaks mean fewer chances of accidentally messing things that are working nicely

  • Maintains Momentum - Regular small wins keep you motivated and moving forward instead of getting stuck in a big construction project

• Benefits of Larger Changes

  • Dramatic Results Potential - Major overhauls can create significant improvements in user experience and conversions

  • Comprehensive Problem Solving - Addresses multiple interconnected issues at once rather than piecemeal fixes

  • Fresh Start Energy - Complete redesigns can re-energize both you and your audience with a totally "new and improved" feeling

  • Better Long-term Vision - Allows for strategic thinking about where you want to be in 3-5 years, rather than little zig-zag patches

  • Economies of Scale - Sometimes it's more efficient to pay or do the work once instead of managing multiple small updates

Our Recommendation:

Here’s what we’ve learned after helping so many training experts with tech and marketing: I prefer multiple smaller changes because they allow you to make consistent improvements in small chunks, avoiding unnecessary risk and building real momentum. 

It’s kinda sad when I see businesses sitting on a bunch of good improvements for so many months, waiting for everything to be complete or perfect before launching.  Your systems and content don't need perfection—they just need progress.  Small changes keep you and your students moving forward.   

What small change could you make pretty quickly to help your business level up 1%?
