You.

Let's talk about the hidden business growth strategy no one talks about.

No, I used to think that success was about getting the right strategy, the

right offer, the right audience.

Like, if I could just unlock this one missing piece, everything would

fall into place and I would be.

It would be overnight success.

And it isn't that those things don't matter, because they absolutely do.

But it never happens that way.

And maybe you've thought the same.

If I could just get this one thing figured out, if I could just

find that one strategy.

And, you know, I've learned, and what I know now is that business isn't just a

series of strategies or a ton of hard work or, you know, working on your laptop

all day to get something built.

It is not just about the external things that you build.

It's about you, your growth, your mind management and your energy.

Because no matter what marketing strategy you try, what business model you pick, or

what shiny new system you invest in, your business will always be a reflection of.

Of you.

I can remember having a conversation with a young woman who was, you know, building

a business of her own online, and we had gotten off on this tangent about taking

notes and how we were both like, love to take notes.

So we had notebooks full.

And I do I have notebooks full.

Many, many, many notebooks.

And at some point in time, I switched to a digital notebook or an E Ink tablet.

And this is what I take my notes in now, because it just makes it easier.

I can actually find things, you know, with paper notebooks.

Like, if I remembered something that I had written, you know, six months ago, I had

no idea, if I was lucky, I'd know which notebook it was in if I was lucky.

But chances are I didn't.

And even then, I had no idea where it was in the notebook.

Right?

It's not like there's some table of contents automatically

generated in a paper notebook.

Although that would be really awesome if it did.

So I switched to the E Ink tablet, and then at least that way I'm

able to label all of my notes.

I can see I can put, you know, these note files that are labeled, I

can put them into folders.

I can better organize my notes and find them easier.

Plus, I can carry it with me everywhere.

And when I told her about this, she was fascinated and she was so excited.

And she was like, oh, this is going to make such a huge difference for me

and I am going to order it today.

And she reached out to me by email to get the details, and I was happy to Share.

And she ordered it and she was like, this is going to be it.

This is going to be the key thing to keep me organized and moving forward.

And a couple of weeks later, I spoke with her and I said, how is

the, the new Ink tablet? And.

And she's like, oh, you know, it's, it's okay.

I'm, I'm like not really using it as much as I should.

And I could hear that disappointment in her voice that it wasn't the thing

that made the difference for her.

And this is what I caution against, because we see this all the time in,

in coaching businesses when it's that shiny object syndrome, right?

Like, you see that thing and then somehow in your mind, you think that thing is

going to be the thing that makes it so that tomorrow, by this time, you're going

to this incredibly successful business.

And unfortunately, it's just not the case.

So, as I said,

you know, no matter what marketing strategy you try, what business model you

pick, what shiny new system you invest in, your business will always

be a reflection of you.

And that means the biggest personal growth journey you will ever take is this one.

Basically, how you experience yourself is how you experience business.

And you like to think that you can separate business from personal stuff,

that you can somehow show up and do the work and then keep everything

else in a tidy little box.

And it just doesn't happen that way because there's this one little issue.

Your business mirrors how you experience yourself.

If you constantly second guess yourself, your business will feel

fragile and uncertain.

If you expect things to be hard, everything will feel

like an uphill battle.

If you don't trust yourself to make decisions, you'll always be looking for

the next expert, the next blueprint, the next shortcut, AKA constant learning mode,

or AKA getting ready to get ready to get ready.

You know what I mean?

So when you grow internally, when you learn to trust yourself

and give yourself grace because you're going to make mistakes,

to manage your mind, to shift your energy, your business shifts

too, right alongside you.

Because remember, it's a reflection of you.

Suddenly clarity comes easier.

And regularly decisions don't feel so heavy or difficult.

Opportunities appear because you're open to them.

When you're in that state of mind where you're frustrated and discouraged or maybe

even angry, you shut down your ability to see, to literally see

opportunities around you, right?

Because that's not where your mind is.

And so you miss them.

This is the way everything works.

Neville Goddard said, the world is a mirror forever reflecting what

you are doing within Yourself.

Which means if business isn't growing, who isn't growing either?

The real question is, if this is the case, where are you resisting growth?

What reservations do you have, what hesitations do you have and why?

You know, we crave certainty as human beings.

It's normal. We want certainty.

We want to know absolutely that something is going to happen in the

way that we want it to.

But growth requires openness to all possibilities, even the ones

you can't fathom or see.

One of the biggest reasons you get stuck in a no growth state

is because you crave certainty.

You want to know, will this work?

What if it fails?

What if I put in all this time and energy and effort and it still doesn't take off?

Certainty feels safe.

It's why you hesitate, overthink, and wait for the perfect moment, which

never comes, by the way.

Because if you just had proof, you'd feel confident moving forward,

you wouldn't hesitate, right?

Of course not.

If I could tell you, say that your name is Clara.

Clara, your business is going to hit that tipping point and skyrocket.

October 2, 2025.

If you're Clara, would you keep doing what you're doing?

Because this is contingent on that, right?

That October date when you hit the tipping point is contingent on you keeping

doing what you're doing and not stop.

Would you do it? Of course you would.

Because you know, you have certainty that it is going to all work.

But we don't get to have that kind of certainty, right?

Because like I said, if you just had proof, you'd feel

confident moving forward.

But business doesn't give you proof first.

It gives you experiences.

And those experiences, they're either going to grow you or keep you stuck,

depending on how you choose to see them.

You can see challenges as roadblocks, or you can see them as part of the process.

You can see failure as a sign to quit, or you can take it as feedback and adjust.

Because at the end of the day, it's not the circumstances to that determines your

success, is how you navigate the circumstances.

And I know that sounds like some ridiculous motivational poster that you

see in the hallway of some corporate building.

And I'm sorry, but it's true. It's true.

How you see it is whether you shut doors and you close out the

ability to see opportunities.

And if you stop growing, then guess what?

Your business is going to stop growing too.

Create your own growth and business success from the inside out.

Here's what I know for sure. We'll.

We'll. We'll tiptoe around that word certainty.

You don't have to wait for the world to change before you thrive.

I know there's a song that's similar to this.

Forgive me for not knowing it, but yeah, that makes me think of

something I've heard before.

You don't need permission to grow, and you don't need certainty to move forward.

You just need a desire to move forward.

What you do need is a willingness to commit to your own expansion, no matter

how tough it might feel at times.

Because this isn't just about building a business.

It's about creating your own economy, your own way of doing things, your own impact.

Take it seriously, but don't let it consume you.

Because business, it's just one small part of the bigger picture that's you.

The real journey is the one where you become the person who can be the

business that you want to create.

Your business grows when you grow, and the further you're willing to take

it, the greater the impact.
