I’ve been watching
a show on hoarding.
Hoarders obtain
more and more items
without letting any items go.
Even trash is kept.
When loved ones
finally see the state
of the hoarder’s home,
they can’t believe
he/she let it get to that state.
The thing is…
it didn’t get to that state
overnight.
One day,
one empty can was left
on a table.
The next day,
a second empty can
was left.
Eventually all of the space
was filled with stuff.
This is the same way
business building happens.
In the movies,
businesses are built
overnight.
In real life,
they are built
one small decision,
one small action
or lack of action,
at a time.
These decisions matter.
We might think
we’re not doing much,
not moving far forward,
but the small decisions,
the small actions
add up.
Keep building.
