When learning or taking on a major project, start small. Starting small makes things simpler and easier to complete. When we do a bit at a time on a project, we’re nurturing it.
While we’re nurturing the project into fruition, we’re learning as we’re going along. A good strategist finds ways to stimulate growth into a project.
For example, for a plant to grow and stay healthy, we must do certain things to stimulate growth, such as having good soil, water and sun depending on the kind of plant it is.
I have a plant called “a mother of a thousand plants” that I had in my office that grew from seeds without sunlight for a year. Since I didn’t have any windows in my office, I used a lamp.
Surprisingly enough, the small plants started to grow, however, slow. After a year of growth, I decided to take the plants home, placed them into a larger pot near a window for sun exposure, and watered them daily. And surely enough, they started to grow even faster than before.
This is one way of attending to our projects!
