"When making plans, think big. When making progress, think small." – James Clear
This simple yet powerful reminder is one I carry with me as I guide others during their pivot- whether that pivot is in career, leadership, or life.
💡 Think big when making plans. Dreams and visions should stretch us. Big plans cast direction, inspire action, and create momentum. Without them, we risk staying in our comfort zone instead of stepping into what’s possible.
🪜 Think small when making progress. The real change happens in the daily steps- the emails sent, the conversations scheduled, the one brave “yes” at a time.
Progress is rarely about giant leaps; it’s about consistent, small moves forward that eventually transform into something extraordinary.
As I walk alongside leaders, executives, and those in transition, I often remind them:
✨ Your big plan gives you purpose.
✨ Your small steps give you progress.
Both matter. Both build resilience. Both keep you moving.
So today, I’ll ask you:
What’s one BIG thing you’re planning for your next chapter?
What’s one SMALL step you can take toward it today?
🚀 Think big. Start small. Keep going.
