At the flip of every page,
I paused briefly to shout Omoooooooooooo x 25.
Then proceeded to declare boldly: I’m an ant, a cockroach, and lizard!

This book is not a motivational sermon. It’s a manual for survival.
“Small” is not the opposite of “big.” It is the prototype of endurance.
Read slowly.
Then go make something smalland dangerous.

This is a manifesto, a weapon, a powerful trigger that greatness is not for the big, it comes to those who start... Small.

I'm just starting ohh this is my first "ha" moment how we always pick on each other action. And have a tag for every action 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Growth na small small, no rush am. Do small thing today, check am (feedback loop), do am again... This is not a small book for me. This is a big value book packed in a small book. Every piece of information in the book speaks value, and one of those things that stood out for me was the ability to execute immediately after each page. You are always challenged to take a small step, action, and that is the spirit. This is a great book for everyone, including those who think small.
The book is very amazing. My friend gifted me and I think it might be one of my best gifts yet. The book feels very intentional and very well thought through. I was super excited I had to make a video about the book before even reading cos the way it looks alone communicates a very huge part of the message.
From the day I stumbled on Making it Small on Instagram, I've never let go.
The book is superb! You'll understand better when you buy your copy and read through.
The book is a world on its own. I love the small but mighty ideas shared in it. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to Make it Small but Mighty.

I gave myself MAKING IT SMALL by Ayo Ishola as a Christmas gift, not knowing how accurately it would meet me where I was.
This past season stretched me in my business in ways no balance sheet can capture. Tight cash flow. Client pressure. Debts knocking louder than ideas. Projects delayed. Trust tested. The kind of period where you start questioning not just your strategy, but yourself as a human being. Where “thinking big” feels almost cruel, because surviving today already feels like a win.
Then I read this book.
What MAKING IT SMALL does — quietly, powerfully — is remove the shame we attach to being small, slow, or constrained. It doesn’t insult you with hype. It doesn’t sell fantasy. It simply reminds you that small is not the enemy. Small is often the only honest place to start again.
As a business owner, I’ve learned that growth doesn’t always come from grand plans. Sometimes it comes from showing up when things are messy. From doing the next right thing when the big picture is blurry. From choosing consistency over drama. This book puts language to that truth with remarkable clarity.
Ayo doesn’t preach from a distance. He speaks like someone who understands creative pressure, limited resources, and the quiet fear of falling behind. Page after page, the message is clear: momentum is built in inches, not miles or leaps.
This book didn’t magically fix my problems as I have the entire 2026 to put into practice what I'm learning therein. But it did something more important — it stabilized my thinking. It reframed my season. It gave me permission to stop despising my “smallness” and start leveraging it.
If you’re a business owner who’s tired, rebuilding, restarting, or simply trying to stay faithful to the work when applause is absent — this book is not optional. It’s a mindset reset. A compass. A reminder that small, done consistently, compounds into something unstoppable. Walaitalai.
Sometimes the most powerful gift you can give yourself isn’t a big break.
It’s a small, honest truth — at the right time.
MAKING IT SMALL is that truth.

This book is a new world, a small world that challenges the norm.
I've never been more surprised in my years of reading by the size, and eventually the content of the book.
In the hopes of making this mail small, I'll say my appreciation goes out to you in many small small quantities. I'm going to be taking ant-vantage of size and small because small is full and abundant.
Eye Opening! Small has never being this tangible and powerful!
i caught myself double-tapping the "small table of contents" page like i was liking an instagram post. it was at that point that i knew.
I never read am yet, but the designs just too fine.
Where was this thing 5 years ago? I really wish i read these then.
