Growth Notes

If you do the little things correct, they are actually big things.

Small actions consistently compounded in the correct course lead to big results.

Having the discipline to show up to a workout when you don’t “feel like it” is a big deal.

Saving one dollar to your emergency fund today ensures a better tomorrow.

An artists attention to detail in the small strokes helps paint the bigger canvas of clarity.

Small actions are a droplet in a dry pond, but steady droplets are the forcing function to create the pond itself.

I recently saw a graphic with a quote that said, “The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit.”

Without the small inter workings, it’s impossible for the bigger project to be achieved.

Is it better to be someone who pays attention to vivid details by having a high-standard of excellence... OR... Is it better to be scatter brained in the small pursuits and shoot for leaps and bounds without creating momentum... ?

When we do the little things correct, they are actually votes within the assembly of betterment that our future fans clap for.

It’s not second nature for us to throw the grandest celebration for accomplishing the smallest of deeds within a bigger endeavor. Nor should that be the case. But it’s a monumental deal. It paves the way.

Because when you accomplish that big thing, you’ll actually cherish the small things that got you there.

Think on it.

What are you celebrating? The little things or the big things.

My best and nothing less,

Anthony

I’m currently celebrating the little actions I’m taking in giving more value to others through the form of content.

When I took Write of Passage this past fall, it changed my life.

The WoP delivered on their promises and now my output and quality of content is 2x what it previously was.

The understanding of what is clicking within my mind will be shown through the actions in my creation of content.

  • I’m Doubling Up…

I texted my good friend the other day and said, "The seed of thought that planted my want to double up on content recently is that videos SHOULDN’T be SITTING IN MY HARD DRIVE COLLECTING NOTHING BUT TIME AND DUST. The world needs to hear this stuff. I want to tell it to the world."

It's time to double up.

There is no stopping this intention.

  • how to lock a podcast guest (short film) - 4k

I know Harry and Brett of Meat Mafia. This short film is part of a larger series they are producing.

This pilot video is a funny and insightful one. It’s worth the 6:22 minute watch.

This may be the greatest playlist for creative flow that I’ve ever discovered.
