We have all been taught to set big goals. Yes, big goals are needed. You cannot dream small and be satisfied with your life. You are capable of better things.
But when you are just getting started, setting a goal that is too big can be overwhelming and it can prevent you from getting started. A car that wants to go at 100 kmph cannot start at 100 kmph. It has to start at zero and then accelerate slowly.
Let’s say if your goal is to make a $100,000 a month. You first have to start making a $100 a month. Then you have to start making $300, $500, $1000, $10,000 a month before you can get to $100,000 a month.
That’s why in the beginning you have to aim small. But make sure that once you reach for what you have aimed, you will be still on the path to make it to your big dreams.
You can do manual physical labor and earn $100 a month. But that’s not scalable. So start with something that is scalable to the point where it meets your goals. Divide your end goals into chunks and go from one milestone to the other.
