Tiny is Mighty
I often come across a question by many people, business associates, customers and even the interviewees that how big is your business and generally define under the parameters of revenue and people employed. And I often reply that we are small but today I confess that we are not just small but tiny and for us “Tiny is Mighty”.
We define Tiny Business by your priorities and intentions, not how many employees we have. It has everything to do with the level of focus and not just how much revenue we generate. It recognises that growth is good – but not growth at all costs. A Tiny Business approach takes a long view. It requires a disciplined and agile mindset that breaks down problems into opportunities and encourages taking incremental, deliberate steps to keep you and your business healthy and vital.
“Tiny is Mighty” concept could be well understood from an example that is plain & simple.. A tiny house which is about creating and living an intentional life with less. The very first essential thing is to be decisive to “say no”. By identifying what’s important and essential, you make it easy to eliminate physical and mental clutter and experience life – and business – with greater ease and more abundance.
But don’t get me wrong: it’s not easy. Building a Tiny Business requires great agility, creativity, exquisite focus, consistent effort and discipline keeping – “all the clutter and noise” – to the wayside. With decisions to be made at every turn, standing for something bigger than (but including) profit presents interesting challenges. That’s what makes articulating your “why” – a clear and simple vision for what you want to create in life, business, and the world – so important. Entrepreneurship doesn’t need to be a competitive race to the peak, as popular myths and media & people around want you to believe !! It can be a pleasurable, educational hike, from point A to point B, step by step to the summit, where you arrive in healthier financial and personal shape than when you began. You eventually get where you’re going, but you’re more whole when you get there..
