If it’s real (no matter how small), it is more potent than any grand, imaginary plan.
This Power Play speaks to the power of taking small, concrete steps rather than imagining a grand plan that never ever comes to fruition.
Power Players know that it is better to reach for real, tangible momentum (no matter how seemingly insignificant) than to scheme and plan huge goals without ever taking a first step.
We all know people who talk about some grand plan but they never actually do anything about it. They belittle small steps and small accomplishments but they never seem to make any progress themselves.
Real is always better than imagined. Small and nailed down is better than big and pie-in-the-sky.
Remember this the next time you a pass on a small step because it doesn’t seem sexy or enticing for a grand plan that is nowhere in your capability to pull off.
