Thank you! As a writer with a one-year-old business and a full-time bread baking job, I’ve had no choice but to grow my business slowly, and sometimes I fear that its mellow pace will eventually grind to a halt. This is an encouraging reminder that slow is sustainable. Yes!

I have printed this out and pasted it above my workbench as a manifesto of sorts.…when you have a small business, it is so very easy to get caught up in what you THINK you should be doing.

I love your abundance theory!

“Slow and steady…” I love that sentiment. I’ve always felt that operating at too high a speed causes missed opportunities, overlooked customer service and even possible shoddy craftsmanship. I think that the old saying, “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing well,” applies here.

ITA!!! Look at plants and people — how do they (optimally, organically) grow? At their own, healthy pace. The relentless push for acceleration and hyper-maturity is counterproductive for everything it touches, business, people and plants included.

Each and every point you made is in itself excellent advice.
Wonderful blog, by the way!

Perfect — just what I needed to read today. My motto has been “slow and steady” since opening my business last year. Time and time again, I’ve watched the Next Hot Thing burn out and fizzle away, through lack of infrastructure to handle overnight “success.” But I do find myself falling into the trap of thinking that I must have more sales than I’m able to comfortably handle in order to be successful. So thank you. Just what I needed to hear.
