Good morning and welcome to the Increase and Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua. Episode 1,9006. I want to read a quote from Shane Parrish. He says this,

if you're having trouble getting started, shorten the distance between where you are and where you focus.

Climbing Everest might be the ultimate goal, but people often talk themselves out of starting because the distance

from where they are to where they want to go seems impossibly big. Keep the goal, but change the

focus to the next step. You can't reach the top if you don't start. Close quote. This episode is for those of you who are experiencing inertia

you just can't seem to get yourself started because like Shane says the destination you want to go

seems so far away and it seems so difficult to get there that you might even be thinking yourself

what's the use i would suggest doing what he says here start small instead of focusing on the

end goal focus on one step something tiny get the momentum going by stacking small wins we talk about that all the time

stacking small wins stack days make plays and as you focus and refocus on tiny wins on on moving the

needle just a little bit remembering that something is better than nothing in the

direction of your goal then you're going to start build momentum to build momentum then you're

going to start to create habits then you're going to get the juices flowing and the momentum's

and the momentum's going to come and you're going to start being able to chop down and make bigger

chops and i don't even know what i meant by that but take bigger swings at whatever you're trying

to pursue so this episode is for those of you who are stuck you might be looking at everest and

thinking yourself there's no way I can get up there.

But my question to you is this, can you take one step?

And I think you can.

In fact, I know you can.

And so my question for you today is, what does that tiny step look like for you today?

What does it look like?
