We live in a world obsessed with instant results – way more so now than ever before. We want the business success, the new lifestyle, the financial freedom – preferably by, like, yesterday. But here’s the truth that most don’t want to hear: anything good things take time.
And for women like us – smart, seasoned and stepping out of corporate into entrepreneurship – patience isn’t just a virtue; it’s a superpower.
Because when you’ve been in the fast-paced world of deadlines, KPIs and quarterly reports, slowing down can sometimes feel like failure. You’re used to measuring progress by tangible wins – promotions, pay rises, performance reviews. But business (and life) doesn’t always work out that way.
Growth often looks like nothing’s happening.
Momentum often hides behind stillness.
And transformation often shows up in silence before it explodes into success.
The Universe Isn’t Late – You’re Just Early (and maybe a tad impatient)
You’re doing the work. You’re showing up. You’re learning, building, planting seeds.
But those seeds need time – time to root, time to breathe, time to become.
Imagine pulling up a seed every day to check if it’s growing. You’d kill it before it ever had the chance to bloom. Yet, we do that to our dreams all the time – we doubt, overthink, tweak and question instead of trusting the process (and yes, guilty as charged).
The magic happens when you stop forcing and start allowing and allowing yourself to step into flow. When you realise the Universe/Spirit/Energy/God (and momentum) knows what it’s doing and trust in that, flow happens.
Momentum Has Its Own Rhythm
Momentum isn’t about sprinting – it’s about stacking.
Every post you write, every connection you make, every uncomfortable step you take – it all builds. Bit by bit. Layer by layer.
You don’t see it at first, but one day, it clicks. Just like your social media posts …
The email lands.
The client signs.
The opportunity appears.
And everyone says, “Wow, that happened overnight!” But we know the truth …
You’ll know it didn’t.
It was your patience. Your consistency. Your quiet belief that moved mountains while you kept your cool. Just ask any Olympic athlete …
So Here’s Your Reminder
You’re not behind.
You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re in the process – and that’s sacred ground.
Trust that the work you’re doing now is creating the momentum you are not yet seeing.
Because when you hold the vision, do the work and stay in the energy of faith and trust rather than frustration – things will start to shift.
And before you know it, you’ll look back and realise: the waiting, the uncertainty, the surrender – that was the transformation.
So take a breath, beautiful.
Keep going, but let go.
Your momentum is building behind the scenes – and when it’s ready to land, it’ll be worth every ounce of patience you poured into it. Consider this your reminder. You’re welcome.
