You want growth and you want it now. All the money, all the clients, all the notoriety. And for some, that explosive growth happens soon after starting their business. For others, it doesn’t. And that’s not always a bad thing. In this convo, I sat down with Marva Goss, a brand and content strategist for female creatives, to talk about the slow growth she experienced after launching her business and how when she looks back now, she can see how that was a refining process for her as a business owner. We talk about: How long it took for her to get her first paying client Why she’s grateful for the slow growth she experienced How she felt during the that period of slow growth Why she stuck with it even when the growth was slow Why she doesn’t share her numbers publicly and why she doesn’t like using that as a marketing tool   WHO IS MARVA GOSS?
