Notice how 始于 works in A 始于 B: 真正的改变始于一个小小的决定。
始于…… means "begin with; start from" and is used with the frame A 始于 B. Use it when you need to express this exact logical relation: A begins at B or starts from B. Do not use it as a loose translation word; first check whether the two parts of the sentence really match the relation. Common mistakes include dropping 于 in 于-phrases, putting the key word after the object, or confusing similar patterns such as 源于, 开始于, 起始于. In formal writing, keep the clauses complete and avoid mixing two cause-result connectors unless the sentence truly needs both.
