Start small, but start

Today I want to encourage you to start small.

I understand there is a lot you do not know. I understand it can be overwhelming when you have so much to do. But that is exactly why starting small matters. When you start seeing small successes, it builds your confidence. It builds momentum. It builds consistency.

You want to start making videos. You are looking for the best camera. I get it. But why don't you just make use of what you currently have?

Because here is the thing. The problem is not that you do not have a camera. The problem is that you think having the camera is what will make you consistent.

It won't.

Starting small doesn't mean you have to be perfect. It doesn't mean you have to have everything figured out. It doesn't mean a lot is at stake if it doesn't go well.

That's the point.

Think about how you learned math in school. They started you with simple things. Five times zero = impossible. Minus two plus one = impossible. At that age, you were only exposed to what you could handle. Just enough to build understanding. If they had thrown calculus at you on day one, you might have decided you hated math forever.

Starting small lets you learn. You see what works and what doesn't. You can pivot quickly.

Everything that lasts starts small. MrBeast started small. Companies start with minimum viable products. The creator of Clawdbot built terminal applications for months before creating what we know today. Look at GitHub. It's full of abandoned projects. People who started too big and gave up.

Starting small prevents you from giving up early.

So start something. Do not just be a consumer. Be a producer.

If we are all consumers, who then are the producers?
