ENTI KA BERUBAH, BEPIKIR BESAI - BEPUN ARI MIMIT DULU

Great beginnings are so easily overlooked, yet they’re critical for action, traction, and results. Everyone talk and/or wants change to happen but will change happen overnight?

Think big, start small

We all know dreamers who have a hard time getting into action, getting traction, to begin achieving their lofty dreams.

If that’s a problem for you, get around it by breaking a big dream into smaller parts. Focus on your primary mission by prioritizing your tasks.

Get those done, one at a time. Soon you’ll have many tangible accomplishments, and the once impassable mountain will have been ascended, leaving a manageable downhill run.
  • Everything big starts small.
  • A plan is the bridge to your dreams.
  • A drawing is a picture on how you can possibly achieve and secure your goals.
  • A proposal is the road to walk your dream into reality.
Starting small gives you room to learn on the job, making mistakes and correcting them as you go.

Starting small also allows you time to grow into who you need to be in order to handle where you are heading.

Think a second on these:
  • If you take one giant leap from where you are now to the field of your dreams, you are going to crash landing. You do not have the skills required to operate there yet.
  • If you are an employee reporting to a junior manager, and dream of owning a chain of businesses, you have to grow into the role.
  • If a chain of businesses is handed over to you on a platter, you will wreck it, as you have no clue how the systems work.
By starting small, you learn the ropes gradually. Most situation and/or organization start with a protem committee or ‘little people’ or even single individual – the dreamer!

You’re the master of all (Jake of all trades); the President, CEO, GM, accountant, salesman, janitor, production, you name it….. And you play all those roles, because you cannot afford an extra hand just yet.

As things pick up, you will be able to hire the first employee, then the second to look after or helping you runs your organization/business.

You stand handing over the systems you designed for others to run, so that you can focus on management and business development or the relevant.

As the situation and/or business expends gradually, you spill out from the garage to an office in the complex, and then a bigger office and years down the line, to your own property.

You get to the point where you hire a “CEO” (not Chief Entertainment Officer) and step up to become Chairman of the Board.

As you grow gradually, you learn invaluable lessons along the way, experience that prepare you for life at the top. It all begins by starting small. No your risk you live sustainably.

Thank you
