Plant seeds today, harvest engagement and profits tomorrow.
This is the 215th consecutive post on MrEmogical Notes. If you’ve been following this series and are finding value from this blog/ newsletter, please consider sharing this post with one person who you feel needs to read this for their betterment.
Introduction
One of the most common causes of anxiety and stress in the lives of entrepreneurs and business owners is slow growth.
The cost of running and managing business seems to be rising with every day, the only way to generate revenues and profits sustainably is to hire a team of A players, and even that becomes a cost center until the business reaches a particular scale.
In this scenario, it's understandable for a business owner to feel restless.
However, you need to understand that every business owner in the world is going through this exact emotion and the only way to win at the game of business is to outlast everyone in your industry who’s feeling restless and lost.
Wondering how you can do that? I promise you will have your answer by the end of this note, so make sure you read till the end.
How to traverse the journey of status quo to business success?
The most practical way to grow in today’s time is to be patient.
Patient with regards to seeing the start of exponential growth or the (in)famous “J Curve”.
However, by patient, I don’t mean that you don’t have to sit in a meditative state until you hit your breakthrough.
I want you to start and keep building content to market your business.
Today with millions of business owners across the world creating content, discovery on social media takes time, so treat every post as a seed. The formation of the roots of these seeds is what you need to be patient with.
Once these roots go deep and start bearing fruits; you can’t even imagine the results that you and your business will witness (read: experience).
So, as hard as it is, make sure you keep creating content consistently and let your brand keep expanding and reaching more people.
More content = more chances of getting discovered = staying busy with adding value to your target audience = practice patience until your breakthrough moment comes true.
Also a small blessing in disguise is that, by the time you start seeing results of your content marketing you will have a body of work, and a funnel to maximise the attention of your target audience into dollars.
Conclusion
The sooner you accept that content creation is becoming a non-negotiable aspect of any business, the better for you and your business.
If you’re a business owner and feel overwhelmed and/or lost about content marketing, I understand your situation because I’ve been in your shoes in the past.
Content creation takes strategizing, planning and creating a system so that you/ your team can create content without affecting the profitability of your business.
I offer 1:1 consulting to growing businesses (with teams of 5 people or less as of April 2025) to gain clarity over their brand marketing, positioning, offer creation and business growth.
