If you’re like me, you’re #TYPEA go-getter, who doesn’t like to give up, and sets ambitious goals. Buuuuut when I look back on past new years resolutions I see goals I not only didn’t hit but some I totally gave up on completing after some discouragement.
“Sometimes the fastest way to accomplish your goals is to slow down and break it into smaller easy to complete steps.” – Emily Page
Are you the same? Let me share with you a 5 minute story of when I learned to go from running a 1/2 mile… to completing 1 whole mile… to running 5 miles, faster than I ran my original half mile.
The secret is GOING SLOWER than you think you need to.
This looks like:
- Pick a single growth priority this year. As tempting as it is to keep a running list of huge steps you must complete in order to grow, you can actually distract yourself from the most important details that make a difference between small and large scale growth. If you have 1 priority – you will definitely get it completed.
- Schedule time to focus on that goal and deeply think. Entrepreneurs love action (which is our super power) but making time to ask hard questions, look at data and ask mentors for their perspective can feel unproductive. But imagine a worse outcome of growing in the wrong direction and needing to back up? The time and money that can be lost!
The lessons I learned in the process will help you as a brand owner create goals that you will be able to complete and succeed in, with less discouragement.

If you have learned a similar lesson, write in the comments your experience when you went slower and ended up being faster.
