Get small. Think Big!
No wonder that Seth’s article appeared to me as inspiring, since I spent a lot of time thinking more about life and prospects in large company with all of its shortcomings lately. Sure small companies have theirs disadvantages also, especially with uncertainty looming around you. But at least you have the chance of being something more than an insignificant cog spinning in huge lifeless machinery.
Small means agility to change when circumstances require it. This is how mammals survived and dinosaurs don’t, why Japanese manufacturers came to dominate markets previously ruled by big stock piling companies. Small means that you are more preoccupied with growth and opening possibilities rather than defending turf that probably cant be defended for long anyway. Where you are more concerned about being good rather than waisting energy to maintain internal status quo.
I have found strength in myself to move towards the small. I hope to find strength also to keep thinking big when I will have to face adversities coming from being an entrepreneur rather than an employee. Till then there are some days left to think and to prepare.
