They made me wonder how often I allow business results to shape the way I see myself. Maybe you've noticed that in your own journey too.\nI also share a personal story about a social media post that hardly anyone engaged with. At the time, I wondered if it had missed the mark. Months later, a realtor reached out to tell me she'd never forgotten that post. That one conversation turned into years of working together and referrals that I never could have predicted.\nIt reminded me that some of the most meaningful moments in business happen long before we realise they're unfolding.\nThis episode covers:\n✅ Why a quiet season may not mean you're moving in the wrong direction\n✅ What Eddie Murphy's story reminded me about identity\n✅ Why low engagement rarely tells the whole story\n✅ The difference between public metrics and real impact\n✅ What I've noticed happens when we tie our worth to numbers\n✅ Why continuing to show up can sometimes reveal more than immediate results ever could\n✅ A few questions I find myself coming back to when business feels quiet\n✅ Why I've come to believe our value isn't determined by applause\nI also spend some time talking about the pressure many of us feel to measure success through likes, views, followers and algorithms.\nThe truth is, people often take in far more than they respond to. Someone may read your content today, remember it months from now, recommend you to someone else, or become a client long after they first came across your work.\nNot...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Aqif0QoJLLaftp2MsEQ_A5An9SDS60wia3QZ7TZD4dY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wZjk4/MGQ0MWU3YmFhNTU5/MWE5NTIzNTY3MmRj/NWY2Yi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
