Instead of waiting for your big break, do this

When I first started, I was looking for my big break. But the big break is truly made up of the small steps. Facebook just reminded me that eight years ago, I released my book. And as I look back on those years, I see that there's never been a big break that changed my career. It's faithful, disciplined, unremarkable persistence that has made the difference. Small steps absolutely matter. The small things add up to the big break in the long run.
