Incremental progress

Believe in Incrementality

Believe in Incrementality 🤏🏼

Do you wanna do anything BIG? 🎊

Maybe you want to:

  • Influence people?

  • Achieve crazy goals?

  • Change the whole world?

It turns out, to do anything big, we only have one choice:

  • Do it in tiny steps 🐾

  • Or not at all 😫

Believe in incrementality 🤏🏼

You can ONLY do a tiny amount today. Believe that, and do what you can.

So many times, I've heard people say:

  • "I wish I had the time."

  • "I'll knock this out later."

  • "I just really need to focus."

The old excuses 🥱

Lack of progress isn't from a lack of time, but a lack of faith in incrementality.

So how about we make some reverse excuses?

  • "No gains yet. Sticking to my plan anyway."

  • "I only have 1 hour. I'll do what I can."

  • "It's not easy, but it IS inevitable."

Excuses to make incremental progress.

Excuses to do something, not nothing.

Excuses to give yourself power.

Which excuses do you want to make this week?

Which excuses will you make this week?
