Growing a company is a lot like growing a garden — sometimes you can’t tell the fruit from the weeds. 🍓 I’ve recently taken up “patio gardening” as a way to unwind and stay present - which is so shocking because despite being a very “earthy” person, I’ve never thought gardening was my jam. Cooking yes - growing things…ehhhh. But then it sort of hit me that I’m already growing things. Everyday. Our company, our client’s companies and that seeing literal “fruits of labor” is rewarding in countless (and sometimes very surprising) ways. Even the smallest amount of growth is so motivating to keep going on. My strawberry plant produced a few of the cutest AF strawberries over the weekend, and the funny thing is, even though it’s better for the plant to pick the fruit, I was terrified to do it. I felt like I should wait 'til there was more strawberries to enjoy them. (Sound familiar ? LOL) And TBH, I thought the plant itself had very little fruit on it…until I picked it. Once I did, the plant practically sprang into over drive. There was so much new growth under the ripe strawberries. Growth I couldn't see. And the strawberries I did get to pick - were immensely enjoyable and encouraged me to (enthusiastically) go get another plant. I think this is poignant because sometimes the growth on the surface looks meh, or maybe it’s “not as much” as you hoped it would be — but if you get in there and weed/prune your “plant” (aka startup) you’ll see it’s doing even better than you imagined. Do you have any mindful activities that help you reconnect back to the bigger picture? (Pictured below my cute lil' strawberries) P.S. Thanks so much for reading!

Tuesday Tip! Invest in your own Startup! #bootstrap #shoestring #budget 25 cents was my initial investment in 2023 for a Cucumber seed packet. VVF is an abbreviation for features to look for when planning a garden. V = Vertical growth (climbing) V = Volume produced (clusters) F = Frequency of harvest (daily or weekly) I am eager to reduce and replace Yard Waste with Fresh Vegetables as I transform my backyard stonescape and lawn to garden over time. Nature covered my stonescape with weeds over time. 🌾🌱 Design converted weedscape to garden, growing food. 🍅🌶🥕🥒 I started inside from seed planted in Egg 🥚 cartons (#byproduct) in good soil. Sales: sold plants in late Spring at a Garage Sale to offset potting soil expense. Education: I produce YouTube how-to videos as well as results. Entertainment: YouTube flower photos & videos with music soundtrack. Gifts: flower and vegetable plants are great gifts. Photojournalism: covering "Blooming News" for hobbyist gardeners. Harvest: menu bonus of sides and entrées Culinary Creativity: casseroles, meals, salads, etc. Frozen Foods: family sized entrees are baked and frozen for later 😋 enjoyment during Winter.

Startup founders: grow a plant from seed to learn: 1. how slow it is from seed to sprout. 2. how important the soil & container. 3. how growth accelerates from sprout to fruit. My sons' startup can help you learn: https://lnkd.in/g8VyTYmH

How to stay fired up for your goals? Even before you see results Struggling right? When you started, your enthusiasm was high but now slowly it's going down. Here's how a farmer does it 🍉 1. Picture the Watermelon: Close your eyes and imagine that huge, delicious watermelon you want. Think about how tasty it will be to bite into it on a hot summer day. 2. Check Your Progress: Every week, measure how much your plants have grown. It might not be a watermelon yet, but if the leaves are getting bigger, it means your goal is getting closer. 3. Celebrate Small Wins: When you see a tiny sprout or a new leaf, celebrate! It's like finding a clue that you're on the right track. Maybe have a small treat to celebrate, like a piece of your favorite fruit. 4. Ask for Help: If your plants aren't growing as fast as you want, ask someone who knows about gardening for tips. Maybe they can share a secret fertilizer (like advice or a helpful tool) to make your goal grow faster. 5. Think about the Future: Imagine the fun you'll have at the end of the summer, sharing slices of your homegrown watermelon with friends and family. Keeping that exciting picture in your mind will help you stay excited and keep going, even when the watermelon is still just a dream. Growing a big watermelon then behave like a farmer #startup #entrepreneur #founder

"Thriving in Montana: Where Farming Meets Entrepreneurship 🌾💼 As a proud Montanan, I've come to appreciate the striking parallels between the art of farming and the challenges of running a business in our beautiful state. Here are a few thoughts on how these seemingly different worlds converge: Resilience in the Face of Nature's Wrath: Both farmers and business owners in Montana understand the unpredictable nature of our environment. From harsh winters to drought-stricken summers, we've learned to adapt, innovate, and persevere against all odds. Strong Community Bonds: Just as neighbors come together to lend a helping hand during harvest season, Montana's business community thrives on collaboration and support. Whether it's sharing resources or providing mentorship, there's a deep sense of camaraderie that strengthens our entrepreneurial spirit. Embracing Risk and Reward: Farming and business ownership inherently involve risk-taking. Whether it's investing in new equipment or launching a new product line, both endeavors require calculated risks to reap the rewards. In Montana, we understand that sometimes you have to bet big to win big. Stewardship of Resources: Sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's a way of life for farmers and business owners alike. We recognize the importance of conserving our natural resources, whether it's preserving fertile soil or implementing eco-friendly business practices. Entrepreneurial Grit: Perhaps most importantly, both farming and running a business in Montana demand a healthy dose of grit and determination. Whether you're tending to crops or navigating the complexities of the market, success often hinges on sheer perseverance and a refusal to back down. In Montana, the line between farming and entrepreneurship is blurred, united by a shared ethos of hard work, community, and a deep love for this land we call home. Here's to the resilient spirit of Montana—where every seed planted and every business venture embarked upon represents a testament to our enduring strength and tenacity. #MontanaStrong #Farming #Entrepreneurship #Community Meg Ross, Business Development DirectorFirst Call Computer Solutions
