February 2, 2017: Part 2 - They Didn't Start Big! They Started Small!! They Grew Big!!! They Grew Bigger!!!!

Start with what you KNOW: Starting small which connotes starting with what you have doesn’t connote that you will start with all you need to know. All you need to know as basics is the summary vision of what you have started because you will still have to learn more about what you know as you progress in the journey. 

He didn’t tell Moses about the forty years journey in the wilderness because HE has told him the summary of what HE needs to know which is to deliver a simple message to Pharaoh, let my people go and serve me and that He is bringing them out from Egypt to the land flowing with milk and honey. 

If you tarry till when you will know the entire details of what HE has embedded in the journey then you are not ready to start, HE is structured that way of telling people the end result without telling you the path you will go through as they will unfold themselves as you go. HE told Abraham to get out of his father’s land and among his kindred to a land that HE will show him which he didn’t describe to him. That is why one of the essential kits you must go with is the learning kit which enables you to become teachable as you forge ahead in life. 

Everyone that started never started with their current state of knowledge, they only added that weight of knowledge as they progress in their life journey. Starting small connotes starting with what you know which is able to kick you off. 

Start from where you ARE: Where you are isn’t an excuse of what should debar you from where you are going. Every great move start with a little step, you don’t need to start with a great because all you need is to star with a little step. 

Every athlete can never start from the finishing line rather no matter how big, connected, titled he may be, it is certain that there is a starting line for such an individual. You need to ascertain that where you are is your starting point from which you need to take off. 

Jesus told HIS disciples not to go to Italy before they could start witnessing rather they should start from Jerusalem where they are unto the utmost part of the world. Pastor J.T. Kalejaiye will say you don’t need to go to Germany before you can jam you breakthrough, you don’t need to go to France before you will meet your fiancé, you don’t need to go to Freeland before you can have it free, you don’t need to go to Dubai before your miracle will be doubled. 

My close study of great people of today unveils to me that they all have a starting point which they never war against rather they celebrated it. Even our great country Nigeria of today didn’t start as great as this, she started from where she was. Celebrating the Centenary this year pops out pictures of those good old days when Lagos has less populated people yet our Heroes past never traded our future with the despair of where they are starting from.  

Run with what you HAVE: Here I am to let you know that starting small also consist of individual running with you have started gloriously with. I have seen loads of people who started with what they have but couldn’t run with it. 

Many people are a good started but don’t know how to carry on forgetting that the days of small beginning comes with some severe challenges that brings out the best out of you. Get a copy of my book (Uncommon sense to making money) to get details of all this. 

You starting small is also embedded with running with what you have so as to get the desired result, it connotes that you don’t have to despair, you don’t have to be discouraged with you have, you don’t have to be  covetous, be focused to run dearly with what you have started with. 

Run with what you KNOW: With the little you have started with, you need to keep running with it as you keep loading yourself for the next level. What this connotes is that you don’t have to be satisfied with you know as at when you started, you need to know more as you go. The more you learn, the more you earn, your earning stand at status quo when you stop learning. Hence your learning cannot be hampered with, then you earning will not be hampered with. 

Always learn to stop at the nearest filling station to top up your tank of learning on a daily basis, ensure you never end a day without learning something new. You must know something about everything ad know everything about something. Don’t be stale in your field of career, don’t be archaic in your chosen field, be current via learning. Don’t withhold cash in your purse to get the knowledge you needed and aforetime.  

Run from where you ARE: Hence you start from where you are, ensure you never remain there, you must make a meaningful motion from where you to where you ought to be. Don’t be like many people who start from where they are but are not making any meaningful motion. 

Stop jogging at your starting point, make that motion as you commence. Someone said if cannot soar, ensure you are flying, if you are not flying, ensure you are running, if you are not running, ensure you are walking, if you are not walking, ensure you are crawling, just ascertain that you are not at the same spot.
