Hey Reader,

I want to share one of the most important lessons I've learned over the last 22+ years starting and growing businesses.

This is something I share often in our masterminds and in coaching sessions.

Sometimes growth looks a lot like staying the same.

We tend to think growth means more. More revenue, more customers, more subscribers, more content, more products...more.

I used to feel this way. And any time numbers weren't growing, I felt like I wasn't making progress, like our business wasn't growing.

To be clear, depending on the numbers and your goals, sometimes that is true.

But there are a lot of scenarios where this just is not the case.

>>>Continued after this ad from our friends at Superhuman<<<

In a lot of the different "seasons" of our businesses, the areas we need to grow in are not necessarily ones that display that growth in easily identified numbers.

Sometimes growth is keeping revenue consistent, but decreasing expenses and increasing your profit margin.

Sometimes growth is maintaining revenue and margins, but improving systems and boundaries to reduce your stress and/or increase the joy your work brings you.

And sometimes, growth is focusing on your energy and your joy, even if that means revenue decreases.

What I am trying to say is that not growing in all areas doesn't always mean you're falling behind.

If you've been feeling like you're not growing or not growing as fast as you'd like, I want you to think about something.

Take a look at your business and ask yourself: Is my growth stagnant, or am I just looking at the wrong metrics? What is my focus? What do I actually need to grow this year?

If you're in a season where maintaining what you've built is the right move, I hope you give yourself credit for doing that, instead of beating yourself up for "not growing" as much.

I hope this helps.
