22 // Patience Is a Business Strategy: Why You Should Avoid Shiny Object Syndrome
What if the smartest move you could make in your creative business…was to do less?
In this episode, we're flipping the script on the "move fast, launch fast" narrative and exploring what it really means to stay focused, even when new ideas feel more exciting. Because sometimes, chasing everything means nothing grows, and patience is the best strategy.
If you’re the kind of creative who gets a million ideas a day (and wants to act on all of them immediately), then this episode is for you!
We're talking about the moment when something feels slow or hard and you're tempted to switch gears. Start a new project, launch a new offer, or just…escape the discomfort of sticking with what you’ve already started.
Whether you’re feeling scattered across too many projects or just wondering why things aren’t “clicking” yet, this episode will help you rethink what focus can do for your business, and how to practice strategic patience even when it’s uncomfortable.
What We Cover In This Episode:
- How patience is why your growth can accelerate
- How to tell the difference between a smart pivot and a fear-based one
- The hidden cost of constantly starting over
- What you’re really building when you stick with one thing
- Practical ways to protect your focus (even with a million ideas in your head)
Today’s Takeaways:
- Momentum doesn’t come from starting something new, it comes from staying with something long enough to see it work!
- Patience isn’t the absence of action, it’s the decision to go deeper instead of wider.
- When you focus, you don’t just build a product, you build trust, clarity and consistency that grows your business long-term.
