method, I have shared with you, the mindset ceiling must shift. Let
             me warn you that it appears easy on paper to do but when you try
             to do it; you must maintain the pig-headed discipline to break the
             habit. It is like waking up a part of you that has been enjoying
             comfortable freedom for years, it would kick and scream. So, when
             it seems difficult at the beginning, keep at it because it would shift.

             How to accomplish big things- we are still talking about leading
             yourself and if you get this right, everything else in this book would
             be easy for you to implement. So, let’s talk about big things now.
             No business or person can grow without doing big projects. The
             challenge with big projects is that it is daunting for people to even
             comprehend. Henry Ford said, ‘No job is too big if you break it
             down into smaller bits’ It is what I called ‘chunking’. There is an
             African proverb that if we live long enough, we would eat meat
             bigger than an elephant’ Let me share this story from a program
             on TV about weight loss with you. There is this guy who loves his
             burger and he eats nothing else. You can guess what the health
             implication of that would be as he is diabetic, he has very high
             cholesterol and other health issues. The wife is on the brink of
             sacking the man, so he wakes up from his nightmare. As a shock
             treatment to get him to see the damage he is doing to himself, they
             pack the equivalent of his one-year worth of burger packages and
             tipped it down from a truck right in front of him. The man in his
             shock starts crying! That single awareness helps him make the
             change to a healthier diet. It is the reverse method when it comes
             to attempting big projects. So, you take the big project as a whole
             and break it down like the one burger package at a time and it
             would build up into a trailer of burger packages with time. Time is
             the key to the achievement of everything. Stop thinking about the
             big  project,  just  take  the  tiniest  part  and  do  it  straight  away.
             Schedule those tiny steps you are going to do daily for 10 days
             and you will build momentum  towards achieving it. This is the
             same way I write my books. I don’t sit down to write 300 pages,
             but I just write a page a day and I don’t even think beyond the page
             at a time. There are days that I feel inspired and I write 10 pages,
             that’s a bonus. What I don’t go below is that one page. Sometimes
             I am amazed that I have done 100 pages in such a short time. So,
