Baby Steps!

The speaker emphasizes that true success begins with clear personal goals and consistent, small actions rather than waiting for big breakthroughs. Everyone desires something—whether money, freedom, or influence—but achieving it requires deliberate effort. The journey is not linear; progress is often unseen, slow, and incremental. The message highlights that failure often comes not from lack of ability, but from refusing to take the first small step. Real growth happens through daily commitment, such as completing tasks, learning basics, or making minor financial moves, even when results aren’t immediate. These small efforts build momentum, leading to larger achievements over time. The speaker uses analogies—like a kite flying on its tail or a wildfire starting from a spark—to illustrate how tiny beginnings can lead to massive outcomes. He warns against skipping processes or seeking instant success, citing examples from personal experience and Nigerian politics to show that without consistent effort, goals remain unattained. Ultimately, success is not about being perfect at the start, but about showing up every day, learning from mistakes, and believing that every small step counts—because from a tiny spark, a mighty flame can grow.

0:04 What Are Your Desires and Goals? Everyone of us here today, we have one thing in our mind that I want to achieve. I don't care what it is, but let me put it another way. You have one thing you desire in every aspect of your life, It's finance, relationship or family, career, right? 0:32 With whatever you are in your profession. Connections. Yes, I want to have this kind of connections. I want to be able to influence people this way or that way. We all have something in our mind you want. 0:50 We have plans. Sometimes it's our plans, my base on hope. Sometimes we might have seen only a little bit realistic. 1:06 What I'm saying is we all have something we desire so much that we don't have currently. You don't have it now and you are willing to have it. And I still go, wow. 1:20 Why Small Steps Lead to Big Achievements Now, what is the first steps or first small steps you can take towards achieving and getting those things? 1:36 OK, OK. I try to generalize it because I want you to understand that success, I mean greatness, does not have to do with one line of thing. Normally my reference will be based on this business and what success in this business means. 1:58 But the reason why I introduced it that way is to to be great you have to do the balance fine. This business want to take care of our finances, right? To become successful financially and to some level you have influence on people, People you help people, you contribute to their growth and success to some level, lifestyle to some level sound it. 2:26 But beyond that, I'm sure every one of us has something in our mind that I want to do that I want to achieve beyond what this business promises. Yes, yes, fine. We may want to achieve it through whatever we get from this business like new life business do not really go really mass of way. 2:48 I'll give you cash, right? May have a particular car in mind you want to buy, but when you make money from the business, you cannot use it to now. There may be a particular career or profession you want to purge, we want to pursue now. 3:04 You don't have what it takes now, money and time. But let's say you build your business to some level. You have money, you have time, freedom to do anything you wish. Am I so am I, so am I so Chelsea Knight to me you have money and time by that time you can now put in for that particular career only. 3:29 Only take study, only go on study vacation that you are studying in Cartoonisha pelo career fantastico. What I'm saying is beyond what is business promise anything your heart desires, what is your first steps? 3:45 What is the plans you have now towards achieving those things? Everything this business promise, the fact that you are coming to office every day, the fact that I make decisions to become a member of this organization does not mean, does not guarantee you to get it. 4:04 You don't have the plan and we are not taking steps towards achieving them. Now. Why do I say that coming to office alone does not guarantee you making money? Why? What you've seen people that will come to office and we just sit in one corner when training is going on. 4:23 When it partake even training, they will not contribute if they don't understand, they will not complain. They will just come to office and in the evening they will go home. And we've seen people that are just coming because their friends are coming. 4:40 They're not coming because they really want to use the knowledge they get here to solve any problem. Some people don't even know what they want. And as you go, some people are coming because someone that has influence on death is coming here or defy them to this place. 5:00 Yes, Oh yes. And as you go, wow. Now that's I say whatever you want, whatever you are desires, what are the steps you are taking towards achieving them? I would like to use this diagram to illustrate what I'm saying. 5:21 Somehow you might have come across it and you might have not come across it. This is 1 ladder. This is another ladder. We are both going here. 5:38 This is where we are both going. Who will get to the top first? 5:55 Who will get to this point first? Wow, who will get to this point first? You said B raise up your hand. 6:11 You said A, raise up your hand. See that that is life. Some people don't want to take any risk. Even so, this person will see actually better where I want to be down. 6:29 OK, let's draw. See, let's draw. See, 6:48 I cannot keep myself now. See, they are waiting for miracle magic, Someone that will do it for them. OK, this person will get there. We now throw a rope to them. That's OK. Yes, there are people that have such beliefs. 7:15 Yes, we have people like that now. C. 7:52 Hello. 8:34 I will. Karanga, you choose A right? A. Now those of us that choose A, let's see that BI choose B stand up. 9:03 Now C stand up. C stand up. Fantastic. 9:20 You'll be amazed. 9:45 Now looking at this step, looking at this like that, this person will get to the top before this person. And chances are that even if this person get to the top before this person, when this person get to the top will have overstressed yourself. 10:03 I said baby. Now let's read small steps. A big idea I actually don't want to relate with. 10:19 OK, I will try not to do OK if you feel stuck, where you are going is far. Do you know why people don't amount to anything in life? They want big things and they want it now. 10:38 They want to achieve success and they want to achieve it now. They don't believe in gradual process. They don't believe in small steps. They don't believe in baby steps. Majority of you are here today. The reason why I have not closed your first order is because you don't want to collect $5 gig, yes or yes. 10:57 It's because don't want to collect $10 order. It's because don't want to collect $20 order. You don't want to collect $25 order. Actually, I have 20 dollar $250 yes or yes. 11:12 So you not close your first deed, you say I don't make money. It's like there are people that are destined to make money and guess what, you can get a $15 project and later offset that buyer to 250 dollars, 300 dollar $500.00. 11:29 But the fact that you refuse to take the first baby step might not get any result at all. 11:40 Don't Be Discouraged by Unseen Progress Your future comes one hour at a time. The life we live currently is the future we look tango some years ago. 11:55 In three years time, in five years time, this is where I will be. That is what I will. This is what I will have achieved. Realistically speaking, what you think, who you think you will be now in the last 4-5 years, she in your yellow jeba? 12:13 Is that the type of person you hire now? OK let let me explain it better. This is 20/22/2017 2019-2020 by the year 2022 Children in yellow Jeba. 12:31 We have people that are struggling with admission now in their mind in 2017, 2018-2019, by 2022, Abby, again admission as you are, you don't have control over that since you don't have control. 12:55 Well, me differences might be married, might be financial, the kind of connection, good life to Mama, secondly to Mama leave. But when that thought comes to your mind, what action, what step did you take? 13:18 There are people that might have a billion dollar business idea, but they don't want to start by closing $10 gigs. They don't want to start by closing $10 deals. They are looking for someone that will trust them for the first time with $1,000,000. 13:38 It will not happen anywhere. OK OK. Never be discouraged when you make little progress no matter how slow or small it is. 13:57 The general people don't want to make small progress. Do you know, let me tell you something about our business. Our business is crazy. Oh this our business is a business of small beginning that leads to global success. 14:12 So business that when you start you will be making little progress and people around you will not even notice those progress. They will not notice you are making progress until you start doing things. Now I have to let me, let me use a very simple example. 14:28 For example, now someone is in our business two months, three months and you don't make money. Two months, three months, you don't make money. Who cares what you know? Who cares what you're learning? What they see is if you don't learn Kolajakini komako abhi abhi, what people say that I will learn. 14:47 Do you know someone that is doing POS business is better than you? During that process, at least at the end of the month, it goes home with 8000 naira 10,000. You, you are here for one month, two months, three months. 15:04 You don't make she's your friend when you're out. I'm no, you don't have and many websites. OK, OK, listen to me very well and understand what I'm saying. 15:23 Progress growth is not what you can see with Visible and our business is crazy in a way that it will keep deceiving people out there. They can never know the rates at which you are growing until you start doing things. 15:42 Now I'll be making is 10,015 thousand every month, let's say six months. You don't make a dime even let's say seven months, you do not make Shishi. Worst scenario. I mean six months, seven months was all that serious. You can spend one year if you are not serious, seven months or 15,000 and that's how much that's how much that's one O 5. 16:07 But 7 again don't make one O 5 E 10,000 for that seven months, maybe a new people. 16:26 For three 16:42 to four months and you are serious, you have the value to make $350.00 a month. I don't know that any of these that I have fine, you might have not made that money, but you have the value. 16:57 You will see people around you in Cato Mona normal and you see people closing two 5300 like that. I mean we see people posting single order 507 hundred 2001 thousand to the group, right, And then I post a single order $250. 17:13 I mean now I don't make $250. I don't ever kept you and I make and I still go anyway. Make cool at least three 5500 I mean now after 8 and you are made $200. 17:41 How much is $200 and eight months 15,000 system No, no, no 1515 thousand Hello the following month of not getting any result the following month and his situation business is I'm not I'm not exaggerating it. 18:17 I'm giving you an example of the worst scenarios the following month this person makes $100. That's how much with the 50,000 naira and he actually had mine fired added received that are 5000 naira in a month. 18:36 This month he makes $100 is the worst month for him or her right? But another crazy thing, you buy course, I think you pay for premium course, premium tools. 19:08 I want to make you make more and the BOS kiloby invested so invested a big business again. OK, OK.

That's how we grow up, OK, OK. 46:10 But today even people are using US maybe that month to build our business. That is baby step. 46:23 Skipping the Process Leads to Failure Let me deviate a little bit to Nigerian politics, Although it's not a subject we discussed but we can learn from it. So where we sit down somewhere, he said Because it is time for you to want to become Nigerian president. 46:44 How? What has he done? What structure is party local government? Local government chairman. 47:06 No House of Senate, no House of Rep, because they 47:22 don't understand the process. They want to skip the process and get those results.

But we'll see if you are missing basics because the real training, the real development aside from school, you'll be lower. 50:26 Now it is easy for you like to wash office or train or my train or my mosques. But when you're talking about the persistence that will help you when you're talking about consistence, other mind positioning strategies, basics, basics. 50:47 A lot of a lot of people are out there that I have skills, but they don't know what to do. 51:03 People are out there that have skills, they don't know what to do with it. But people like my open mind. There's opportunities around you. This is the basics and you commit yourself to it. And I mean that is skills only on that board and give up. 51:19 Never give up.

Podcast Summary

Key Points:

  1. Everyone has a clear desire or goal in life—whether financial, relational, or professional—and success begins with defining what you want and taking actionable steps toward it.
  2. Small, consistent actions—often invisible to others—are more powerful than large, immediate leaps; progress is built through daily commitment, not overnight results.
  3. Success requires embracing imperfection and "being bad" before becoming skilled, as growth starts with learning through trial, failure, and persistence, not instant mastery.

Summary:

The speaker emphasizes that true success begins with clear personal goals and consistent, small actions rather than waiting for big breakthroughs. Everyone desires something—whether money, freedom, or influence—but achieving it requires deliberate effort. The journey is not linear; progress is often unseen, slow, and incremental.

The message highlights that failure often comes not from lack of ability, but from refusing to take the first small step. Real growth happens through daily commitment, such as completing tasks, learning basics, or making minor financial moves, even when results aren’t immediate. These small efforts build momentum, leading to larger achievements over time.

The speaker uses analogies—like a kite flying on its tail or a wildfire starting from a spark—to illustrate how tiny beginnings can lead to massive outcomes. He warns against skipping processes or seeking instant success, citing examples from personal experience and Nigerian politics to show that without consistent effort, goals remain unattained. Ultimately, success is not about being perfect at the start, but about showing up every day, learning from mistakes, and believing that every small step counts—because from a tiny spark, a mighty flame can grow.

FAQs

A person can start by closing a $10 or $20 order, even if it feels insignificant, as this first step builds momentum and creates value that compounds over time.

Waiting for a miracle means skipping foundational steps, which prevents the gradual accumulation of progress and results in stagnation, as success is built through consistent small actions.

Progress is often invisible and unnoticed by others; people may see no change, even though consistent small actions are quietly building toward major outcomes.

No—being 'bad' initially is essential for growth, as mistakes and failed attempts provide critical feedback and allow for relearning and improvement before mastery is achieved.

The speaker shares how he traveled to multiple destinations—Sun City, Durban, Abu Dhabi, and Barcelona—after consistently taking small steps in his business, proving that long-term rewards stem from daily effort.

The kite flies because of its tail—the small, often overlooked parts—which shows that success is powered by tiny, consistent actions that may not be noticed at first but are essential for overall progress.
