Before Spring Comes There Is Winter

I listened to a podcast from Pat Flynn the other day, who interviewed a lady that has made great success within the plant's niche.

She said something that made me stop for a moment what I was doing and do some reflection. She said and I quote:

" I think for some people to the thought of a seed germinating could be really powerful. The thought of those first two leaves coming out of the soil. And then the second two leaves, you know, that could be a really powerful visual, I mean, figure out whatever works for you, right.

This thought of being a leaf that is slowly unfurling. And if you have houseplants, if you, if you’ve watched leaves, like there’s always that one degree angle that they could just open up a little bit more and you watch them follow the sun. And it’s just this really cool thing. So that’s just kind of, My visual for myself this year, as you know, I get to come out with this book and have my garden society grow and, and all of those things.

And I also think too, like with dormancy, like the one in 2021, a huge mantra I said is, I honor my dormancy, you know, things were, I was kind of in this weird, stuck moment as an entrepreneur and personally, and you know, you need winter before. That in itself, like for entrepreneurs allow yourself to have winter before spring comes, it’s okay.

Like spring will come, you know?"


Don´t Get Discourage By Winterstorms


This is powerful, she has in a few paragraphs described how it is to be an entrepreneur, like us, trying to find the "middle of the road", not falling into the ditch on either side of the road. We just keep pushing forward no matter how many times you are struck down, or blocked.

Iif you keep pushing forward, you will finally reach your destination.

I am at that point now. After a long winter for me, last year and until now, I have been battling the winter as I progress forward to the spring. I have recently put new "seeds" in the ground in my business and will do it the right way this time, with only one type of "plant seeds" at one time to nurture, until they come to full bloom.

Stay in the fight and don´t give up. Follow the training and classes diligently here at WA. Don´t let yourself be diverted by stuff that will not move the needle for you.

Have an awesome day and enjoy the upcoming weekend.

BTW. Have you done your 30 minutes of topic and keyword research today?

I have, and I researched dental care for dogs for a new article on my website in the pets niche. I used the seed phrase; " How Can I Clean My dog's Teeth?" in Google, and explored the People Also Ask and Related Searches. It gave me several great subheadings and for the article and new topics to explore

We all need a moment to stop and reflect.
Thanks for the share to do that,
Sami

Mey pleasure, Sami.

I love the motivation here, Roy!

What I have done is about 1 hour of writing in my next book to promote for the Holidays!

Have a wonderful new week, my friend!

Jeff

Thank you, Jeff 💯 I haven´t yet done any preparations for the Holidays yet 😱. I need to take some time and start 😄

Oh no, Roy! 😲🙀

I'm sure you will get on the ball and get those knocked out, my friend! 🎅

I love the first image..it reminds me of the book “ call of the wild” by ……erghh.
Anyway I hope those seeds take hold, my first problem was scattering the seeds too far and I lost site of them and didn’t look after them. I now keep a tighter reign on them and ( they must be bamboo) am looking after them much better.
Thanks
Stephen

Great analogy to bamboo, Steven. In, one podcast (talk) by Les Brown he talks about the bamboo tree, which "prepare to grow underground for several before it springs into action.

Roy

Love this analogy!
Thank you for sharing her insight!

Tami

My pleasure. Happy that you enjoyed the post 😊

We are nicely into Spring here. Perfect weather.

Great, Phil 😎 I am looking forward to spring already in my part of the world, even if it is almost 6 months to go. Staying positive and optimistic 🤓
