Codie Sanchez: Have a Big Vision. Just Start
Published on
The image shows three simple pyramids that secretly contain an entire productivity system. At the top: a completed brick pyramid labeled “Have a big vision.” Below it: a low ring of bricks labeled “And start small.” Beside that: a single lonely brick holding the outline of a giant pyramid, labeled “But most importantly, just start!” This is how real businesses, books, bodies, and bank accounts are built—one ugly little brick at a time.
Dream Big, Build Small — Just Start
The finished pyramid is your dream: million‑dollar business, best‑selling book, whatever. The ring of bricks is your first visible progress: first 5 customers, first chapter, first week in the gym. The single brick is the real hero of the image, because nothing exists until that first piece gets dropped into place. Most people obsess over the perfect blueprint and never place a brick. Better move one brick today than design the perfect pyramid forever in your head.
How To Place Your First Brick Today
- Define the big pyramid in one sentence so you know what you’re building.
- Shrink it to a tiny, embarrassingly small first step you can finish in 15–30 minutes.
- Schedule that step for today and treat it like a paid appointment.
- Repeat tomorrow, laying one more brick instead of redesigning the whole pyramid.
Real-World Tiny Bricks Turning Into Pyramids
Amazon started by selling only books online, using that tiny base to grow into a massive everything-store pyramid.
Twitter began as a simple 140-character status tool for a small group, then stacked features into a global communication pyramid.
