Cultivating Your Business Garden



Picture yourself, in the charming world of business gardening. Now, let’s embark on a whimsical journey akin to planting a wondrous tree.


First and foremost, we must tenderly place the seed in the nurturing earth. With a spoonful of dedication and a dash of patience, you'll carefully tend to this precious seed, providing all it requires to flourish.


Each day, you'll lovingly attend to your little green charge – a smidgen at a time.


Although the growth may not catch your eye in the fleeting moment, over the sweep of time, you can turn around and behold how far you've come from where you first began. And eventually, that tiny seedling will transform into the magnificent tree it was always destined to be.


But what, you ask, if you plant a seed and leave it to its own devices? Well, it withers away, as simple as sugar. Perhaps another seed caught your fancy, boasting grander leaves or a more exciting story. Maybe the repetitive acts of care grew wearisome, or impatience crept in because your sapling wasn’t sprouting upwards as swiftly as desired.

Your brilliant ideas, your pivotal decisions, your grand plans – these are the seeds of your enterprise, the essential genesis of everything. Yet, each time you embrace a newfangled idea or divert your path, you’re back to square one, ready to plant anew.



As entrepreneurs, you hold your ideas dearly (and rightly so!), announcing them with glee akin to Mr. Banks proclaiming, "I’ve got it!" You trumpet their promise on social media and guard them jealously lest they be pilfered away (do bear in mind, no one truly possesses an idea until it's brought to life – a sentiment enchantingly explored in Elizabeth Gilbert's tome Big Magic).



Oh, I comprehend – it's ever so simple to become ensnared by the latest concept or prospect, believing with every fibre, "this is THE ONE to grant my wishes!" And yet, perhaps it isn't the champion you hoped for. It's more arduous, more time-consuming than anticipated. Thus, once more, you cast longing glances towards the next shiny bauble, pondering if it might be 'THE ONE' instead.


With all the affection of Mrs. Banks’ rallying cry for suffrage, I posit that constantly shifting courses could indeed be the very thing that stifles your establishment's growth. Have you allotted ample moments with your current plan to delve deep and discover its potential?


Have you sought out the proper support, ensuring execution of your present trajectory without bearing the brunt alone? It's not to decree that you must never change course – changing tides are part of the voyage after all.


But should you find yourself flitting from one endeavour to another without plucking the fruits of success, maybe it's high time to entertain the assistance of a Certified Online Business Manager, someone who can shepherd your resplendent ideas across the finish line.


Indeed, cultivating a business garden isn’t incessantly filled with thrills or allure. At times, it could turn as taxing and irksome as a nanny dealing with unruly children. Persistence is key.


With a Certified OBM joining your ensemble, bestowing leadership, support, and unwavering commitment to 'getting things done', soon, you may find yourself amidst an enchanting forest of towering trees rather than a barren wasteland of neglected seeds.

Remember, "anything can happen if you let it," and we weren't meant to achieve greatness in isolation. Let’s converse on how I can aid in ensuring the right THINGS are accomplished at the perfect TIME, in the most fitting MANNER, and by the ideal PEOPLE in your company.
