  • Focus on the basics and the process. Great things take time and are built brick by brick, overcoming one minor setback and obstacle after another.

  • Don’t try to solve everything at once. It can be overpowering. Break a big problem into a series of minor issues that you can quickly solve.

  • “Great things are not done by impulse but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not accidental, but must certainly be willed” - Vincent van Gogh.
