Stacking the Bricks

Everyone talks about the “big job,” the big moment, the one that changes everything.

But you don’t get to those without the little ones.

The small repairs.

The things nobody notices.

The fixes that don’t make a highlight reel.

It’s easy to dream about the big work — the kitchens, the additions, the big-dollar builds.

But it’s the little work that sharpens your hands.

It’s the little work that teaches you how to think.

And it’s the little work that earns the trust that leads to the big work.

You don’t just wake up at the top.

You stack the bricks.

One by one.

Until one day, the foundation you’ve been building on can actually hold the weight of the big stuff.

And that never stops.
