About Us

Laura Chee is the founder and Ryan Blunden the technical master behind Start Small - Achieve Big.

Laura and Ryan met in 2006, on a Rotary youth leadership camp, and have been friends and worked on community projects together ever since. In 2009, Laura had a big goal and called Ryan to team up and create Start Small - Achieve Big. See Laura and Ryan's bios to find out more about them.

Laura’s big goal is to help others to achieve their full potential. To do this, the aim of the Start Small - Achieve Big website is to offer individuals access to free information on goals, a free practical and user-friendly goal setting tool and an avenue to share and seek help from other people. These features combined will assist active users to reach more of their goals, faster.

You can use Start Small – Achieve Big to:
  • set your goals and the steps that will lead you to success ;
  • be reminded of your goals – you will receive weekly update emails;
  • access practical and educational information; and
  • share your goals and seek support, while helping others to achieve their goals – join the Start Small - Achieve Big Facebook Group and start a discussion or join an existing discussion group.
In taking their own advice they have broken their big goal down into smaller steps. Their first step is what is available to you right now. They have information on goals accessible and the SSAB goal setting tool has goals and steps working effectively. For now, the site directs its users to the social utility, Facebook, to assist people to share and connect with others and talk about their goals.

Future steps and the long term vision includes adding features to the SSAB goal setting tool such as notes, journal entries, and the functionality to support virtual support groups.
