What sets us apart as humans is our ability to evolve by constantly solving problems and that has brought us a long way from where we use to be.
The problem most of us now face in the society is the need to evolve as quick as we can by taking the simplest route possible - but the problems that comes with a hurried life is it usually comes with unwanted results.
In this article, I will list and discuss the advantages of starting every goal, dream or aspiration from the starting stage and then building up from there.
1. Brings about clarity
One advantage of starting small is that every cause of failure or success can be easily traced to the corresponding factors. This can be very advantageous because you get to understand the little things that were done to get a specific result and use to make future decisions.
2. Builds confidence
while starting small you get to meet some challenges which will teach you some life changing lessons that builds your confidence and gets you prepared for such occurences in the future.
Among many reason sudden success don't last is because individuals get to the top and then realizes they have not developed the confidence to handle some challenges which usually lead to devastating results. The saying "the more challenge to pass, the more wiser you become" still holds true in every area of life.
3. Lesser risk
Another advantage of starting small is you get to make mistake which result to a lesser pain than if you had made such a mistake at a higher level. Same mistakes which should have cost you hundreds if you had made them while starting may amount to millions if you made them at a higher level.
4. Builds genuine relationships
Especially in the business's community small startups fosters a sense of authenticity and connection which is often lost in large cooperation.
Small businesses can easily tailor their products or services to the specific needs, preferences, and expectations of their customers.
They can also communicate with them on a more personal level, using their names, remembring their details and showing interests in their lives
5. Efficient allocation
Starting small requires limited resources such as staff, equipment, inventory; unecessary expenses such as bureaucracy, duplication, or excess capacity, that may arise in large organizations can be avoided. This develops a level of character, creativity and effective management.
6. Long term success
In this times of love for overnight success, starting small gives you the skill, creativity and zeal required to remain successful when a higher level is met due to repetition, and knowledge gotten from mistakes.
Conclusion
Starting small does not however mean you remain small. It is about taking leverage of early wins as a form of motivation to stir exponential growth.
