It’s crazy how unpredictable the weather has been lately—just look at the recent storms in Dallas. One minute, everything’s calm, and the next, tornadoes and heavy winds are ripping through, tearing roofs off houses and leaving destruction in their wake. It’s a harsh reminder of how quickly things can shift, and it’s not all that different from the process of building something like a brand or even finding the right niche for your writing.

When you’re starting out, you often think you have everything mapped out. You have a vision, a direction you want to go, and then—life happens. The unexpected hits, and you may feel like your plans are falling apart. But here’s the thing: Just like we rebuild after storms, the key to success in writing or branding is flexibility and resilience. The storm might take off a few roof tiles, but the structure still stands. It’s about learning to adapt to the winds of change, figuring out what works and what doesn’t, and continuously strengthening your foundation.

So, if you're in the process of figuring out your niche or crafting a brand, don’t be afraid to embrace the unexpected. The storm may knock you off course for a moment, but it also teaches you valuable lessons about what works and what doesn't. When you stay true to your core, continue refining your message, and keep moving forward, you'll emerge stronger than ever—just like those who rebuild after a storm.

In the end, it’s not about avoiding the unpredictable; it’s about staying grounded through it all.

I keep getting muddled by life's events, never used to be that way until my nervous breakdown but now my mind gets scattered and I sometimes go to take a day off to reboot and come back to my blog a week or two later because nothing seems to fit. I need to get more focused and on a schedule.

It was well said and great use of metaphors. It is amazing to have reminders like these, because there are always storms, like loosing patience, that is what I feel sometimes as a beginner. Thanks for sharing.

That's a great way to look at Linda. My affiliate site's still in the growth stage, and with just the data coming in from GSC & Amazon , it's a sorta mini case study I can use to sell services, bringing in the seed money for growth.

1st stage = gather meaningful data.
2nd stage = monetise knowledge + validate skillset.
3rd stage = audience + monetary growth.

It used to be to sell what people want. Now, it's more like show, don't tell.

No matter the things that get in the way, work around them to overcome the obstacles.

Great advice, Linda.
