When everything is new, growth moves at lightning speed.
“Hey, you’re a natural!”
It’s all new, you don’t care, you just go out there, try, fail, and try again – and you keep improving.
But then to leap with growth, you need to learn the right techniques, focus on your tools, iterate, iterate, iterate, and you start to worry about failing – because hey, look how far you’ve come, who wants to take a step back.
Then it clicks.
And the moment it clicks, there is no going back, there is only continued upward momentum, you try and you fail, but you’ve reached a level that even when you fail, it’s fine because you’re already ahead, and you’re not going back to ground zero; you’re going back to ground X to tweak and fix again.
But that first curve, that is where everyone leaves.
Don’t leave.
