# Daily Inspiration: “Don’t be overwhelmed by the big things; just do the next thing!”

“Don’t be overwhelmed by the big things; just do the next thing!” – Futurist  Jim Carroll

There couldn’t be better guidance for a Monday morning and the start of a new week!

My mantra to “think big, start small, scale fast” kicks in once again with great guidance! When faced with a list that is long, projects to do, deadlines to meet, it’s very easy to get discouraged, panicked, and worse. That’s not a great way to move forward.

Just do things one project at a time. It makes it easier to deal with the fast scope of your bigger, overall goal!
