Tiny Steps, Big Wins

“Go big or go home.”

We’ve all heard it. Many of us have tried it. Most of us have failed at it.

Here’s the truth: when I aim to “go big,” more often than not, I end up going home frustrated and discouraged.

In my practice, I see it all the time. People believe that massive success requires massive action. So, they push themselves into unrealistic leaps, thinking it will get them there faster.

But the real secret? Tiny steps, taken consistently.

It’s the tortoise and the hare. Those who achieve lasting success understand this simple truth: steady, small actions beat big, unsustainable ones every time.

Taking tiny steps isn’t passive. It’s

powerful. It means you’re showing up daily, sticking to the process, and building momentum.

Most people don’t fail from lack of willpower, they fail from lack of consistency.

Mark Twain said it well: “The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small, manageable tasks—and then starting on the first one.”

If you’re stuck, it’s time to change your actions and behaviors. That’s how habits change—and ultimately, how your life changes.

To help you do this, I created a tool called Weekly Display. It’s a simple worksheet that guides you to break your goals into daily, trackable actions.

✍️ Here’s how it works:

Write your goal at the top.
List daily activities that move you toward it (measurable in minutes, miles, pounds, pages, etc.).
Set a weekly target, then track your progress each day—morning and night.
At the end of the week, review: What worked? What didn’t? What will I focus on next week?

It’s not about grading yourself; it’s about awareness and adjustment.

The Weekly Display is the most effective tool I’ve found for changing habits and staying accountable.
