Mini moves create big change, and we often forget that. We think transformation has to be dramatic, risky, or loud. But what if it starts small? We think it has to be dramatic, risky, and bold, or it doesn’t count. But in reality, transformation usually begins with the smallest of steps. This is the heart of the Mini Moves Big Change mindset. It’s the idea that brave little actions, taken consistently, can lead to huge life pivots over time.
Let’s flip the script: instead of waiting for the perfect moment to go big, what if you dared to start small, right now?
The Myth of the Big Leap: Why Big Isn’t Always Better
Pop culture has glamorized the “all or nothing” approach. We see viral stories of people quitting their jobs on a whim, starting companies overnight, or achieving success seemingly out of the blue. But behind every “overnight success” is often a quiet grind of daily decisions, failed attempts, and tiny wins that built something big.
Big leaps get the spotlight. But it’s the mini moves that set the stage.
Why Mini Moves Create Big Change
Small actions don’t feel sexy or Instagrammable. They’re not flashy. But they build:
– Momentum: You start to see progress, which fuels motivation.
– Confidence: You prove to yourself that you can take action, even when scared.
– Clarity: Every small move helps reveal what works, what doesn’t, and what matters.
– Resilience: If you fail small, you can recover fast. You build bounce back energy.
Mini moves allow you to practice being the version of yourself you want to become, before the stakes feel huge. You don’t have to be ready. You just have to move.
Real Life Examples of Mini Moves in Action
Let’s say you dream of starting a podcast. A mini move isn’t buying expensive gear or planning a full season. It’s recording a 5-minute voice note on your phone about an idea you love.
Want to launch a creative business? A mini move might be setting up an Instagram handle or sharing a post about your interest. Not selling anything—just showing up.
Craving more confidence? A mini move could be making eye contact with a stranger today. Or saying “thank you” instead of brushing off a compliment.
These moves may feel small, but they are you rewriting your own story.
The Domino Effect: How One Step Builds Momentum
One of the most powerful things about mini moves is that they build on each other. Imagine lining up dominoes: the first one is easy to push. But it starts a chain reaction. You don’t need to push them all – just the first.
This is how change happens. Not through a massive push, but through gentle, steady nudges that turn into momentum.
How to Start Small (and Actually Keep Going)
1. Name a dream or goal you’ve been thinking about.
Example: “I want to write a book.”
2. Break it into micro-steps.
– Buy a notebook
– Write one page
– Brainstorm chapter titles
3. Pick one step. Do it today. Even if it takes five minutes.
4. Celebrate the action. Not the result, the action. You showed up. That matters.
What to Do When Doubt Creeps In
You might hear a voice saying, “This isn’t enough.” That voice lies. It’s trying to protect you from failure, rejection, or risk. But the truth is, small steps are enough. They’re the only way anything meaningful has ever been built.
Your job isn’t to silence the voice completely. Just don’t let it drive.
My Story: How Mini Moves Made Oi Mooshy Happen
When I first dreamed up Oi Mooshy, I didn’t know where to begin. The idea felt huge. A brand that inspires people to Dream, Dare, and Do? To help them to be able to say to themselves, ‘It’s MY LIFE & I’m LIVING It. That’s a tall order. But I didn’t start with a full business plan.
I started by writing one idea in my notes app.
Then I told one person.
Then I made a graphic.
Then I created an Instagram page.
Each mini move gave me the confidence, and proof, that something was being born. That’s how Oi Mooshy became real Mini Moves, Big Change.
