“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” — Lao Tzu
Overwhelm kills more dreams than failure. Entrepreneurs set 12-month revenue targets, then freeze. Athletes picture the championship, then stall. The solution? Shrink the target until action feels inevitable.
Business Example:
A startup aiming to raise $1M doesn’t start with the giant number. They shrink the target into weekly actions: 10 investor outreaches, 3 pitch meetings, 1 follow-up deck. By slicing the mountain into steps, they climb it without stalling at the base.
Why it works:
✅ Breaks inertia with immediate wins
✅ Momentum compounds confidence
✅ Small targets create big consistency
Today’s Challenge:
Pick one intimidating goal. Slice it into a today-only target you can complete in under 30 minutes.
Final Thought:
Shrink the target — expand the victory. -1% CheatCode
