For two years, I was the entrepreneur everyone warns you about.
I’d wake up at 5 AM. Work until midnight. Chase every “growth hack.” Pivot every quarter when something didn’t explode immediately.
My to-do list had 47 items. My revenue had commas, but barely.
I was burned out, broke, and my partner sat me down in March and said: “You need to pick a date. When are we calling this?”
I gave myself 6 months.
Here’s the thing nobody tells you: Big swings are sexy. Microsteps are profitable.
I stopped trying to 10x overnight. Instead, I asked myself every single day: “What’s the SMALLEST thing I can do today that will still be working for me tomorrow?”
What’s your one micro-step today that will get 1% closer to your goal?
I was months from shutting down. Then I stopped trying to “scale” and started taking microsteps

This is the truth, 10 micro steps yield far better than 1 big step usually.
I like to think about the compounding effect – small steps every day will create something big! There’s no shortcuts, no big announcements or major moves. Just small steps every day that might look boring to most people but it’s building something amazing
This honestly changed my perspective in how i was approaching my businesses, thank you.
Give your customers something to recognize and still understand tomorrow.
Yes, every small step matters.
It reminds me of a quote from the book *The Boy, the Mole, the Horse, and the Fox.* **“I can’t see a way through,” said the boy. “Can you see your next step?” “Yes.” “Just take that,” said the horse.**
