This is what slow yet steady growth looks like.
Minimal referrals, no 6-figure months, no shortcuts nor blueprints. No, the CEO is not my father. It’s me.
Everything I’ve achieved this year was all me.
Every discovery call taken, every strategy created, every proposal sent, every rejection. It all led to this.
I’m unbelievably grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had this year, and all the amazing companies I had the chance to work with. I hope 2026 is an even better year, more prosperous and fulfilling, than 2025.
I could say 2025 sucked, but it didn’t. Objectively, it was pretty awesome. And this comes from a person that, exactly a year ago, was wondering whether it was even worth it to continue and make sacrifices instead of finding a full-time job.
With this post, I’m not trying to sell a course or get you to sign up for my free webinar. This is to show you that is it possible to grow a business from scratch, with no outside help.
As my friend Hannah Schwartz once said, slow growth is strong growth. Two years later, I’m still taking this quote with me.
Happy 2026 everyone 🎉 I hope you see yourself to achieve everything your heart desires.
With lots of hope,
Marilu
