Growth
Early impatience
Like most people, I wanted results quickly. Fast growth felt productive, even when it wasn’t sustainable.
Burnout followed predictably.
Changing pace
Slowing down improved decision quality. Fewer posts, better ideas, clearer thinking. Growth didn’t stop—it stabilized.
Progress became repeatable.
What compounded
Slow growth created a stronger foundation. Trust built over time, and momentum lasted longer than any spike ever did.
In hindsight, it was the only approach that worked.
