“In short, start small. Start with just the smallest version of your idea and a way to make it happen. Instead of waiting (sometimes for years) for bigger wins to happen, you can use small wins to propel you.”
– Paul Jarvis, Company of One

“I’m a little pea
I love the sky and the trees
I’m a teeny tiny little ant
Checking out this and that
And I am nothing
Ah, so you have nothing to hide
And I’m a pacifist
So I can fuck your shit up
Oh yeah, I’m small
Oh yeah, I’m small.”
– Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pea
