Start Small


Once again Mr. Besilly provides some nonsilly advice. "I believe that sometimes we simply need permission to start small. I get trapped in thinking so big when I'm nurturing new ideas, that I lose sight of the best place to start."

I tend to think bigger with more ambiguity and have tried to surround myself with some detail people. My bias towards action has had me start projects without adequate preparation or research but I don't often feel trapped in the big thinking. However I know (now) that not everyone is an extroverted activist so I the 'start small' advice is valuable. Mr Besilly quotes Mark Twain to end his post so I will do the same.

"The secret of getting ahead is getting started."
