752 - Harvesting Growth: How a Seed Planting Strategy Drives Results


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m diving deep into a metaphor that has shaped much of my success in the past: seed planting. This concept has been a powerful reminder for me that the results we see in our lives and businesses are directly tied to the seeds we consistently plant, not just the harvest we hope to reap.

Don't judge the success of today by the harvest that you reap, but by the seeds that you sow.

Earlier today, I spent time journaling by hand, clarifying my vision for the year ahead. With the help of Claire (The name I gave to Chat GPT), who formatted and evaluated my notes, I gained clarity on what I’m calling my Seed Planting Strategy for 2025. This strategy is about spreading seeds—my content, engagement, and connections—across multiple fertile grounds of opportunity.

I've used this metaphor in the past, and it's always produced incredible harvests. However, I realized my previous approach had a flaw—I was planting seeds daily until I achieved so much success that I became comfortable and stopped planting altogether. This time, I'm committed to planting seeds consistently across a variety of fields.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:
  • What is the Seed Planting Strategy?

    I explain how planting seeds daily across different fertile grounds (platforms and mediums) can create long-term success. I also share lessons from my past successes and the challenges I faced when I stopped planting seeds.

  • The Seed Planting Framework

    I walk you through the outline of my strategy, including specific actions I plan to take, such as live streams, podcast interviews, email newsletters, and handwritten notes. I share how this approach ensures I’m consistently engaging with my audience while leveraging opportunities I’ve previously overlooked.

  • The Goals Behind the Strategy

    I highlight Six Desired Outcomes I’m striving for in 2025:

    1. Building awareness and visibility.
    2. Fostering connection and trust.
    3. Attracting and nurturing ideal clients.
    4. Positioning myself as a go-to expert.
    5. Building a long-term, sustainable strategy.
    6. Driving consistency and accountability.
    7. Why Start Now?

      I share why this clarity has inspired me to take action immediately instead of waiting until January 1st. I encourage you to reflect on your own opportunities for planting seeds and to commit to consistent action today.
