Growing my hair out again is reminding me how growing a business actually works.
Last time I lived in Costa Rica I grew a man bun — headed that route again lol.
It requires patience.
And going through awkward phases.
It’ll take around 13–15 months to get there.
And honestly?
It mirrors building $10–20K months so much.
Nothing happens overnight.
There are awkward phases.
Moments you question it.
Moments you don’t know if you’ll “make it.”
Moments you feel stupid. Or behind. Or tempted to cut it off and start over.
We live in an Amazon Prime world… but nature (life) doesn’t work that way.
Same with income growth.
You don’t build consistent $10–20K months by panicking during the slow weeks.
You don’t build it by disappearing after a launch flops.
You don’t build it by waiting to “feel confident.”
That’s the subconscious trying to protect you from looking bad.
The identity that can hold $10–20K months?
Keeps showing up through the awkward phase.
Not from hustle.
Not from force.
But from stability.
From knowing growth takes time.
If you’re in your own awkward phase right now — making $3–8K months or you’ve hit $10K but can’t repeat it —
DM me IDENTITY
and let’s talk about what phase you’re actually in.
