Growth Isn’t Linear—But It’s Worth It

Hey there and happy Saturday!

Last week, I had my worst engagement day in four months.

A few days later?
I had my best engagement day ever.

And I was on vacation.

This is the reality of growth—it’s unpredictable, messy, and full of highs and lows.

But here’s the catch:

You only see the highs if you push through the lows.

The Reality of Growth

Most people imagine growth as a smooth, upward curve. In reality? It’s a rollercoaster—full of dips, unexpected turns, and sudden climbs.

The key isn’t avoiding the lows—it’s learning to navigate them without giving up.

The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t?
The ones who succeed keep going when things get tough.

Why Lows Happen (And Why They’re Normal)

If you’ve ever felt like you’re posting into the void, you’re not alone.

Everyone experiences moments when:
✅ A post flops that they thought would do well.
✅ The algorithm seems to be working against them.
✅ Engagement feels unpredictable.

Even top creators with thousands (or millions) of followers face slow days.
The key is to not let one bad day define your long-term strategy.

How to Push Through the Dips

So, when engagement drops or results aren’t what you expected, what can you do?

1. Focus on Consistency, Not Just Performance

One bad post doesn’t mean you’re failing.
One great post doesn’t mean you’ve “made it.”
The key is to keep showing up.

2. Look for Patterns, Not Exceptions

Instead of overanalyzing one post, look at trends over time.

What’s resonating?
What’s not?
Adjust from there.

3. Celebrate the Small Wins

Every step forward—every comment, share, or message

Is proof that someone is listening.

The Power of ‘One More Post’

The biggest breakthroughs often happen right after a low point.

If I had let my bad engagement day discourage me,
I wouldn’t have seen my best engagement day just a few days later.

So, if you’re feeling stuck, remember:

🚀 Your next big win could be one post away.
🚀 One connection away.
🚀 One opportunity away.

What’s Your Story?
