Making Things Look Small

Big Ideas Made Small

When you’ve made a huge mistake at work, it’s easy to forgive others for a minor one.

When you’ve seen a divorce occur, it’s easy to shake off the little tiffs you have.

As humans, everything is relative to our worldview.

The challenge, then, is to expand the worldview as much as possible.

It’s easy for me to speak to a group of 200 people because I’ve already spoken to a group of 3,000.

And it will be easy for you to ship another project once you’ve shipped one.

But here’s the paradox of it all: Once more things look small, we tend to stick to them.

We don’t speak to a group larger than 3k and we don’t ship a project more life-changing than the one we had just shipped.

Truth is that it will never get easier (if we’re doing it right), but it will get bigger in a better way.

It’s less about making things look small and more about making the next big thing look small.
