Sometimes I felt like giving up š but I kept going when no one was watching, and now they do⦠š
People who are new to meeting me often say things like, āWow, itās amazing how quickly your business has flown,ā or āIt must be amazing to have so many followers.ā And whilst I always appreciate it, the truth is success on social media isnāt overnight - itās the long game.
The same with growing a successful business. The timing is different for everyone, and itās so important to remember that. Especially when I start coaching people who are starting social media from scratch, Iām always very clear that this takes time, and my followers certainly didnāt just appear overnight.
For 6+ years Iāve been sharing my love of gardening and social media. What started as a hobby slowly turned into a career.
I posted even when no one liked. I put question boxes up that had no responses. I did lives that no one watched. I kept showing up anyway.
And over time, my tribe found me. The community built one by one, not hundreds by hundreds. Slowly, steadily, through consistency.
When I look back now, Iām so glad I did it all, even in the moments when I wondered if any of it was worth it.
So if things feel slow for you right now, keep going. Your timing is your timing, and often the magic is happening long before you can see it.
