What does Slo Growth mean?
A Welcome to issue #001 of Slo Growth. Each week, I send one insight to help entrepreneurs build better businesses, and even better lives. Signal over noise. Depth over cheap dopamine
You are sprinting toward a finish line you never defined.
You work 12-hour days to buy back time later.
You automate everything but never slow down.
You chase freedom while building businesses that trap you.
You follow playbooks that sound impressive, but never quite feel right.
It looks like growth.
But it feels like burnout.
I call this performative progress. The illusion of forward motion without real direction or progress.
It’s fueled by algorithmic pressure & social expectations.
Endless inputs.
The belief that “more” is the only measure of success.
But I don’t believe in that anymore.
And I’m guessing you don’t either.
What if growth didn’t have to come at the cost of your life?
What if you could build something meaningful, without sacrificing your health, your time, your clarity?
What if business wasn’t just a vehicle for income, but also for energy, creativity, and peace?
That’s what Slo Growth is about.
Slo Growth isn’t about moving slowly. It’s about moving deliberately.
With clarity.
With intention.
With systems that serve you, not the other way around.
It’s a quiet corner of the Internet for entrepreneurs who want to grow with purpose, not pressure.
A community for entrepreneurs, creators, and deep thinkers who want to perform at a high level without losing themselves in the process.
A space away from noise and algorithms.
Inside, you’ll get:
Essays on AI, systems, performance, and mindset
Real world lessons, mistakes, insights, and ideas from someone building with intent since 2017
A community of other entrepreneurs to help you reflect and find signal in your own thoughts
And soon, a private space for high-agency individuals to connect beyond content
This is not a place for empty advice.
It’s a place for people who are building something that lasts.
I started this because I needed it.
And now I’m building it with you.
No hacks.
No gurus.
No dopamine drip disguised as wisdom.
Just honest ideas, useful tools, and a better way to build.
If you’ve read this and it feels good, it’s because you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Slo Growth.
Your first step toward a business (and a life) you actually want.
