This document provides advice for turning small ideas into big successes. It emphasizes believing in your ideas, being persistent even when results are not immediate, leveraging opportunities, thinking creatively, and not worrying about failures or critics. The key is to stick with an idea through challenges and experimentation until the right people are found and the idea grows into something remarkable.

If you believe in your idea and believe that you can
make it big, then you will be successful even from the
tiniest of ideas.
Never give in to what others have to say. Keep the
faith alive.

8. Be persistent
Small ideas never give you results immediately. You
need to be patient.
The trick to getting big results from small ideas is
sticking with your idea when you don’t get the big
result right away. Stick with it and continue to follow
through on your idea day in and day out. Eventually,
the right people will find you and your idea will grow
into something remarkable. Just have a little patience.

9. Leverage each opportunity

10. Leverage each opportunity
It is good to be an opportunist. You need to know what
is happening around you and make use of all the
opportunities that come your way.
Realise your goals and find out what will work for
your idea. Draw a roadmap and follow it to the tee.

11. Get creative

12. Be creative
It is very important to try new things, experiment a lot
when starting new. Don’t be afraid of failures. You will
only get better with each experiment.
Think out of the box. Be curious and experiment!

13. Stop worrying

14. Stop worrying
You need to stay calm all the time. Worry is just one
alphabet away from ‘sorry’. Just go by your instincts.
Failures and remarks from people should not trouble
you.
Make sure you do not regret the chances you didn’t
take. Go ahead and explore!
