Right from when I could remember he's always been like this, he's always applying for huge government contracts or thinking about how he'll start a business from scratch but make it so big that people will have to patronise it.</p><p>The problem with this is that more than often, things don't actually go the way we hope they will and the thing is that when you try and go big, if you fail, then you fail big too and my old man has failed big alot in his life time. It's from his mistakes that I realised that going big isn't always the best course of action.</p><p>Now we have starting small on the other hand and this is guaranteed to take up alot of your time and give you less results. The thing is that you're going to learn the ropes with less risk involved. Even when you fail, you can easily get back up because you haven't invested so much of your time and money in the whole thing.</p><p>If my old man had started small on alot of his projects, maybe he'd have had alot more successes than failures and maybe he'd be a wealthier man now. Starting small is like learning to ride a bike, you start with training wheels and then when you're good enough you take them off. Basically you learn everything there is to know about what you're doing, the ups and downs, the pitfalls and the opportunities that are available.</p><p>I think, no I know I'll go with starting small, it's how I've conditioned my mind these days. Every tree was once a seed and in everything I do, every investment, I start with the mindset of being a seed.</p><p>I hope this helps.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3vq6l79x","appParentAuthor":"golddeejay","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |

Perhaps because they have a sort of idealistic romantic notion in their head that they are going to come across a certain amount of money by divine providence without them doing anything at all.</p><p>Or they probably think that they'd just wake up one day and find millions of dollars resting beside them on the bed, or theyd just be walking casually on the street one night and see a briefcase filled with millions beside a street lamp.</p><p>Of course this is as likely to happen as finding an alien and a human being chilling in a club In Antarctica and going to their igloo homes to make babies afterwards. </p><p>It is not very likely. </p><p>And that's fine too, because starting small is supposed to be there to teach us some lessons as we go. Failure is a rather important recipe for success. And the probability is that if you're an entrepreneur starting out on a business path for the first time you'd definitely make some mistakes a couple times before you get things right.</p><p>Now imagine if you were the type who had decided to go for it big, and perhaps the alien scenario wasn't so far fetched and you did wake up to millions by your bed and decided to go big--and lost all your money on your first wave of investments. You'd agree with me of course that the next line of action here is probably suicide.</p><p>But if you were meticulous and calculative, and had decided to start small, branch out as much as possible. You'd still have a lot of options to fall back on when or if things do go south.</p><p>Perhaps people who are afraid of starting small are scared they have no chance of success in our unfair capitalistic economy that seems to give huge hegemony and unfair advantages to big greedy coroportations, but it has been proven that with meticulosuness, quick thinking, germane pragamatism, hard work and dedication, you too can get things done no matter how small your start is!</p><p>And of course lets not forget that to be successful there might not even be a choice here, unless you want to spend the bulk of your life in procastination till you grow frail and old and realise you didn't take a step while you should and now you can't even literally take and physical steps not to talk of entrepreneural ones.</p><p>Because lets face it, a lot of people start small because the resources to start big might NEVER come. Resources are really scarce and our desires are huge and unlimited.</p><p>And then there'sanother beautiful way of looking at things here, and that is from the point of evolution itself. </p><p>Isnt it the most basic rule of life that it is the small building blocks that leads to the huge established outputs? Even our human body is made up of these tiny building blocks. Even the earth itself! </p><p>So it follows that the most efficient way of making it in any endeavor where you're not previously established is to follow this rule set to us by life itself. </p><p>And it is no secret that A LOT of rich and successful people all around the world have followed this strategy in the past. All the way from John D. Rockefeller to Ford to Carnegie to Bill Gates to Warren Buffet to Steve Jobs (Rest in Peace) pretty much most successful people have had to start small. </p><p>Now imagine if they had been waiting to hit the big time before they took their first step.</p><p>Which again begs the question? How would you even get to the point of \"doing it big\" in the first place without starting from a humble beginning. </p><p>If you're a normal person who wasn't born into a million dollar dynasty with a filthy rich family inheritance, that means you probably have little to work it. So how do you expect to have enough to \"do it big\" without first launching yourself by starting small.</p><p>Doing it big is awesome. It's amazing and swell and exhilarating. We all know that It's easy to make more money with a lot of money than it Is to start from scratch and start making money.</p><p>But how many of us have that luxury of doing it big without having to start small!? And in life it is mostly the sacrifices we've made at the times we were still upcoming and growing that paves the way for the ease we enjoy later in life.</p><p>Which is why a friend of mine on steemit wrote the other day that there's possibly not even such a thing as \"passive income\" and what most people call passive income isn't really passive at all because there is definitely a lot of work that has been done before that person could get to that point where he could make what other people would call \"passive\", but there's always somebody putting active work somewhere behind the scene.</p><p>And of course regardless of the fact that latter is always relatively safer, no matter whether it is starting small or going at it big, there's always a certain amount of risk involved in any investment.</p><p>So why not start small? Amass knowledge, get proficent, follow the basic rule of life and then go from there. Success is yours buddy.</p><p>Cheers!</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3vq6l79x","appParentAuthor":"golddeejay","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
