It Happens Small Until It Happens Big!

I advocate for taking small steps not just because it sounds like a good idea, but because it’s what has consistently worked for me.

Every major achievement I’ve had in life was built through a series of tiny steps. The more I follow this approach, the more I’m convinced it’s the only way that truly works.

For example, English isn’t my native language, but I’ve reached a C1+ level by adding at least 20 words to my vocabulary every single day. That may not seem like much, but imagine how it adds up over 18 years.

Recording a video every day for the past three years has also made me a better speaker. I stutter far less, feel more confident, and my speech is clearer.

Anyone who’s exceptionally successful is someone who has done small things consistently over a long period of time.

I was listening to a podcast for Naval Ravikant, who said, “I read much less than everyone thinks”, but he’s been doing it since he was ten years old. That’s why he’s now one of the most knowledgeable people in entrepreneurship and many other fields.

The same goes for Warren Buffett, who started investing when he was 11 and kept doing it ever since. That's why he's one of the richest people alive.

Rich Roll, an athlete, put it this way: “It happens small until it happens big. The reinvention occurs in the micro-actions you’re taking every single day—the tiny little things that perhaps no one even notices.”

We often think that big changes require big actions, but not only is that untrue; it’s the opposite. What we need is simple, consistent actions. We need to value consistency over intensity.

That’s how I’ve made every meaningful achievement. Try proving me wrong—I don’t think you can!
