If you want something you’ve never had, you’ve gotta do something you’ve never done. We hear this all the time, right? But how often do we actually live it? Most people spend their time coasting in business — doing what’s comfortable, doing what’s worked in the past — and then wonder why they’re stuck. Why they’re not seeing the results they want. Why they’re not growing. Here’s the thing: being “good” at what you do isn’t enough anymore. There are a million people out there who are good at what you do. Hell, there are people who straight-up suck at what you do, and they’re still getting clients. Still cashing in. Why? Because they’re putting themselves out there. They’re taking the leap. Meanwhile, you’re sitting on that idea you know could move the needle in your business — but you’re afraid to pull the trigger. So, what’s that one thing you’ve been avoiding? Maybe it’s launching that new offer you’ve been thinking about for months but haven’t acted on. Maybe it’s investing in the right system that would automate half of your daily grind. Maybe it’s just sending that one email to a lead you’ve been too nervous to reach out to. Whatever it is, it’s time to stop playing small. That idea that keeps popping into your head? That one thing you know could make a difference? It’s nudging you for a reason. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: if you’re not willing to take that leap, you’re going to stay exactly where you are. Stuck in the same cycle, watching opportunities slip by, wondering why you’re not seeing the growth you want. Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you push yourself out of your comfort zone and try the thing you’ve been scared to do. So, what’s it gonna be? Keep playing it safe, or finally make the move you know could change your business? Because if you want different results tomorrow, you’ve got to stop doing the same thing today.

I recently worked with a client who ticked all the boxes.  ↳ A powerful story. ↳ An incredible product. ↳ And a vision that could genuinely change lives. But she was paralysed by fear. Fear of investing in her business. Fear of hiring the right people. Fear of taking that leap. We're talking about an $18,000 website and a part-time salesperson – a drop in the bucket compared to the potential payoff. I laid out the roadmap: a revamped online presence, a sales pitch to open doors with retailers. In 3 months, her business could’ve been transformed. But fear got the better of her. She couldn't pull the trigger. It's a story I've seen play out time and time again. We get so caught up in the "what ifs" that we miss out on incredible opportunities. Growth doesn’t come cheap. It takes investment, it takes calculated risks, it takes believing in yourself and your damn vision. Yes, there's always a chance of failure. But what if you succeed? What if that $18,000 investment turns into millions in revenue? Don't let fear dictate your decisions. Don't let it rob you of the success you deserve. You have to bet on yourself and invest in your future. Take that damn leap of faith. Because the biggest risk isn't taking action. It's staying stuck in a cycle of fear and missed opportunities.

Is Growth Scary for Your Business? Many small business owners view new growth ideas as risky. The idea of planning for growth can be intimidating and overwhelming. Not growing is riskier than trying to grow. If you don't keep up with changes in your market, you could become irrelevant, like video rental, taxis, etc. You might need to change your perspective: not growing carries more risk. A starting point is to create a Growth-Friendly Culture. Everything that you do is noticed, especially your decisions that carry risk. In addition, try to simplify the idea of growth by starting slow and building with small wins rather than setting a high (unachievable) target. As for you, the owner, this is as much your mindset as tactics. If you talk about growth and take action to promote growth, others will follow. Let's look at some concrete steps you can take to start moving your business forward today. Act with Intelligent Urgency 1️⃣ Set aside 30 minutes weekly to brainstorm one new way to grow your business. Write down your ideas and discuss them with your team. 2️⃣ Choose one small growth experiment to try this month. It could be testing a new product, reaching out to a different customer group, or trying a new marketing method. 3️⃣ Ask your customers for feedback on what they want to see from your business. Use their input to guide your growth plans and show them you're committed to improving. Another way to put it is: ask your customers, ask your customers, then ask your customers! #SmallBusinessGrowth #BusinessEvolution #EntrepreneurMindset

There’s too many “I made 6-figures in 6 months stories on LinkedIn" But not enough “I struggled doing xyz” This year I’ve: - Had clients fail on payments - Had days with zero motivation - Dealt with health issues - Fired team & lost money - Had income dips That’s the reality of being an entrepreneur... Dealing with clients who don't follow through on their commitments. Dealing with having failed launches or months with an income dip. Dealing with your personal life while trying to keep your business moving forward. It's not all black and white and it's not always this constant upwards trajectory in your business. (that would be nice, but it's not the reality) Don't compare yourself to people online. They have experienced struggle and failure, too. We're all just out here doing the best we can, while also navigating life. Remember... Things don't have to be perfect to grow. You don't have to be perfect to grow. The journey to growth isn't a straight line. It was never meant to be. PS. Some of the biggest struggles I've had this year have also been some of my biggest lessons. I share more below 💕

I sold my business expecting freedom—instead, I faced depression. After 12 years of building my business, I thought selling it would be the ultimate win. At 38, I expected to feel free and fulfilled. But I was wrong. I felt lost. My business was my purpose, my routine. Without it, there was emptiness. No new ideas. No direction. Just a void. We rarely discuss the emotional toll of selling a business. The unexpected lows. The dark days after what should have been a “happy ending.” I want to share my journey—from depression to redemption. How I found a new path and purpose. Have you faced unexpected emotions after a big change? Share your story in the comments. Let’s connect and support each other. 👉 Next Up: How learning to let go became a crucial part of my growth. Stay tuned! 📌 P.S. Prefer to share privately? Email me at [email protected].

𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 There is no perfect time for one to start building anything great. If you want to become great in what you do, don't wait for the time to be right. Rather start now and wait. Start building a business, a reputation, a life, a career, a brand , and watch it blossom. Nothing starts until you start. A day will never come when you will have everything you need to start a business. Hence, start and everything you need will start coming into perspective. Growth is a gradual process. With the right strategy, the business, and investments we made will grow. Being determined and patient is enough to make our business experience exponential growth. The time is always right for one to do what is right. If you fail to start something you love, be ready to watch other people succeed with it. Start, nurture it, and watch it thrive. Before long, what started little, would have started gaining traction. ━━━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━━ Follow 𝙄𝙨𝙖𝙖𝙘 𝙉𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙬𝙪, to convert your frustration into greatness, your weakness into strength, challenges into opportunities, and pain into gain.
