The trouble at the beginning is that there may not be much there. Sometimes there is a seed or an idea. Start small but dream big.
The critical part is to start. You can make whatever fanciful dream you want, but if you don’t begin, you won’t get there. And you can’t usually do step 2 until after you’ve done step 1.
Sometimes we can use a shortcut to get somewhere. However, even shortcuts have a beginning point. Don’t try to maximise, effiency-drive everything. Every podcast started with one listener as did every Clubhouse room. There is nothing wrong with that.
Now staying that size is a problem. You should grow a little. If not, check out why. Ask around. Get some answers. And then do something about it.
It is not everyone’s destiny to become some huge big deal. But it isn’t appropriate to stay so small as to be insignificant. You should be able to build an audience. If not, you have got to ask yourself why.
Just because you start at the bottom, doesn’t mean you have to stay there. Add more value, develop a skill, practice, learn, develop.
You have it in you to do something exciting! So get on that. Take an interest in your craft.
Start small but dream big.
