You're Business Ain't Broken... You're Just Diggin' in The Wrong Dirt!
Alright, grab a coffee (or somethin’ stronger 😁), ‘cause I’m about to show you why your “garden” ISN’T blooming the way you thought it would, and why that’s ‘kin good news.
Picture this…
You’re hustlin’, waterin’ seeds, throwin’ your back into it, building offers, posting content, tryin’ all the latest “tactics.”
You’re doing everything the “experts” said you should…
And yet?
Instead of standing knee-deep in fresh fruit, you’re lookin’ around at a lot of...
well...
DRY DIRT.
Feels like a gut punch, huh?
But here’s the REAL kicker.
👉 It’s NOT the seeds.
👉 It’s NOT your hustle.
👉 And, It’s NOT “you need to try harder.”
(Drum roll)
It’s the soil you’re planting in.
And that soil my friend?
Is your perspective.
Don’t think More Seeds…
Think, Smarter Soil
See, you already planted the good stuff.
You’ve got products. Services. Content. Ideas. Networks. Tools.
(Trust me, your shed's already stacked.)
The problem?
You're tryin’ to force new growth without realizing…
Your real fortune’s buried under what you already built.
Most folks panic when results don't show up fast.
They start throwing new seeds everywhere, new funnels, new launches, new social strategies, new, New, NEW!
Churnin' up more chaos, thinkin’ "more" is the answer.
But more ain’t the move me ole cucumber.
Better soil is.
You don’t need a new offer.
A new audience.
You need to nurture the assets already sitting there, waitin’ to explode 💥
That Lil' Shift Changes EVERYTHING
The second you stop treatin’ your assets like yesterday’s leftovers—and start treatin’ them like buried treasure?
Boom 💥
You pivot from working harder to working smarter.
The shift is simple...
Instead of thinking “What can I add?”
Ask …
“What am I underestimating that’s already mine?”
That old email list?
That dusty course?
That half-forgotten community?
That scrappy little tool I built last year?
They’re NOT dead weight.
They’re a freakin’ goldmine.
You just need a fresher set of eyes, and a little fertilizer (read: smart, simple adjustments), to make ‘em grow wild.
Cultivation Vs Compensation?
Tell me this…
When the garden looks barren, you don’t go dig up the whole thing.
You pull some weeds.
Add better compost.
Water smarter.
And you let the thing breathe.
Same with business.
The key to insane, sustainable growth isn’t in doing more.
It’s in doing less...
...but alignin’ that MOFO!
- Polish your best stuff.
- Repurpose with purpose.
- Tighten up your roots instead of chasing new seeds.
And most importantly...
Trust that slow roots make strong trees.
That’s real empire-building.That’s how you stop sweating every sale and start stacking ‘em like firewood.
So Here’s Your Play…
Today, right now!
Instead of askin’ yourself,
"What’s missing?"
ask...
“What am I already sitting on that deserves better care?”
Then stop thrashing around.
Get quiet.
Get strategic.
Get rooted.
Your garden’s not empty.
It’s loaded.
You’re just one mindset shift away from watching it BLOOM!
Really enjoyed your take on how sneaky false assumptions can trip us up. I’m still pretty green in this space, so a couple of things I’m curious about:
When you spot a knee‑jerk assumption forming, what quick reset works best for you—stepping back for more data or asking someone to sanity‑check it?
Have you found any simple cues (like a recurring emotion or phrase) that signal an assumption might be sliding in under the radar?
I love the idea of treating feedback like an antivirus scan for the mind. Feels way less intimidating than a full “belief overhaul” and probably keeps blind spots from stacking up.
Thanks for the food for thought!
Hey Bob,
Love that you’re digging into the post!
Great questions, so let’s unpack ’em.
When I feel that knee-jerk assumption pop up, I usually hit pause and take a few deep breaths.
Step back and see if I’m making sense.
Sometimes, it’s a quick data check.
“Hey, does this feel right to you?”
Other times, I’ll bounce it off someone.
‘Cause…
That outside perspective can be great when I’m about to run off on a tangent (and I often do)
As for those sneaky cues?
Oh, I’ve got a few.
Anytime I catch myself getting defensive or feeling like I’ve got to be “right,” that’s when I know an assumption’s sliding in under the radar.
Also, I tend to say things like, “I’m sure this is the way it is,” and that’s when I know I’m in my head too much.
It’s like my brain’s trying to shortcut to the answer, and that’s when I know to pump on those brakes.
And I’m with you on the antivirus scan thing.
It’s way less intimidating than a full “change everything” overhaul.
Those quick check-ins to make sure blind spots don’t start stacking up, that’s the key.
Anyways, enough of me…
Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Bob!
Keep questioning and trust yourself, it’s a much better journey.
