Small things accumulate to Big things

"If you are not willing to look like a fool, nothing great is ever going to happen to you" - Dr Gregory House.

 It is very often that when you think about being successful you think of the bigger picture, which at a great extent is good, but how often do you think about the starting point on your dream? The research done by scholars in south Africa states that the high rate of businesses failing after the first 6 years in business is due to lack of planning and business models that can't be sustained. What causes that? I'll tell you, most business owners jump in to the high horse before they can afford it. In most cases when a business model fails to be sustained it is because the business only had one source stream of income which is not realistic for a new business.

 Starting small is important to all businesses because it helps a business build a strong customer base, and they can be able to come up with a reliable business model which is suitable for the target market. When you think of the most successful people in South Africa. It's either they started selling peanuts in train stations or maybe they were assistants to taxi drivers. The well known Mr. Mamponya who is owner of the Maponya Mall also multi-millionaire and one of the most successful people in south africa started his business from his first job of selling meat at the rank, who would have thought he'd become this successful? The Blackanese sushi bar owner  Maboneng Precinct one of most popular a restaurants in Gauteng started as a car guard. No one believed in his dream but because he valued his small efforts, his vision didn't allow the circumstances he was suffering at that time to stop him from yeaning to achieve his dream. You do not zap your way to success it all starts by the small things.

 "Success and failure are not major events, they are small events which accumulate to big results" - Anthony Robbins. Most of us are caught focusing more on the result of situations without attempting to accomplish the smaller events in our lives. Truth is if you can't handle success at a small scale you can never do it on a bigger one, therefore it is more important for an individual to know these things. Yet again when you fail you start by small things as well, like not writing your goals down, not planning your business or whatever it is you want to succeed in. Be inspired and pump yourself with positive thoughts because it all starts small and it all starts as a dream until you achieve it!
