It's also extremely fun to have the chance to "double my size", while I am just a small fish/lion. It's obviously a lot easier to double 700 compared to 7000 or 70000.

A point missed by most people. Smaller accounts do have the advantage of being able to change their influence much quicker than larger accounts. You can easily double or triple your account by summer whereas a much larger account has no prayer.

I have a feeling you will get there also.
