Everyone Wants To Scale (This Is What I'm Doing)
Welcome to Slo Growth. Each week, I send one insight for people who want ideas, prompts, and tools for building a better business, and an even better life
Everyone's chasing exponential growth.
10x your revenue. Scale to the moon. Build a team of 50. Raise from VC.
But nobody talks about this:
Most "explosive growth" stories end in burnout, empty bank accounts, or businesses that consume your soul.
I've watched brilliant people triple their income only to hate their work. They scaled fast, but lost themselves in the process.
The alternative? Slow growth.
Slow growth means:
Adding one perfect client instead of ten mediocre ones
Building systems that compound quietly over months, not weeks
Choosing sustainable energy over adrenaline-fueled sprints
Saying no to opportunities that don't align with your vision
It's not sexy. It won't get you featured in Forbes.
But it will get you something better: a business that supports your life instead of hijacking it.
I know a coach who makes $500K a year working 20 hours a week (roughly).
She's been slowly growing for the last few years.
No team. No chaos. Just clarity and intention.
While people around her burned through employees and pivoted every 90 days, she built something sustainable.
The world will tell you that slow is falling behind.
But slow, intentional growth is how you stay ahead of yourself.
Slo Growth is built person by person.
