I know sometimes we want things to go fast, but that's not how it works.⁠
⁠
I expected my business to be way bigger after running it for two years. It's not. And that's okay. (I do have to remind myself that on a daily basis, trust me it's hard, ha!)⁠
⁠
It takes so much time and work to grow a business or a blog. Some people can make their blogs profitable in under a year. I haven't found that to be the majority of people.⁠
⁠
I've learned from experience that it takes something around two years to get any kind of traction, and another two to hit the really awesome goals you had for yourself.⁠
⁠
Unfortunately, running your own business isn't easy! It takes a lot of blind faith that you can figure it all out.⁠
⁠
So I'm with you if you feel like you're constantly jumping over cliffs, not really sure what's on the other side. You're not alone.⁠

At the beginning of your blogging journey, I don't recommend limiting yourself.⁠
⁠
Some people will recommend you pick a niche right away and stick with it, but I believe a little experimentation is always good when you get started.⁠
⁠
Since you don't have it all figured out anyway, why pretend you do? Now it the best time to make mistakes, while not too many people are looking.⁠
⁠
So try posts that don't fit your niche! What kind of feedback are you getting?⁠
⁠
Do what you love, even if it means it's a bit out of the box. People will be attracted to that way more than if you do the same thing as everyone else.⁠
⁠
Passion is noticeable. Trust me!⁠

If you're new to this blogging journey, I want to remind you of something this morning: you don't need to have it all figured out to get started.⁠
⁠
It's fine if you don't know what your niche is. It's fine if your theme is not perfect. It's fine if your blog posts aren't optimized.⁠
⁠
You can always fix those things down the line.⁠
⁠
Just get started and write a post! You won't get where you want to be by trying to be perfect. You'll get there by taking imperfect action.⁠
⁠
And believe me, I don't have it all figured out either. (Want to know a secret? Nobody does! 😉 )⁠

I love how this quote applies to everything, from running my business to my cardio. It all takes time.⁠
⁠
Take a deep breath and keep going. It's a slow process.⁠

Happy Monday! 💚 It's officially fall! 🍂 And for some reason, it's really motivating. I don't know about you, but I love working with a cup of tea + a cozy sweater.⁠
⁠
I still have a few updates I need to catch up on for our current themes and maybe in the next few months, I'll be able to release a new theme! (Those Gutenberg + Genesis updates are kicking my butt!)⁠
⁠
What are you up to this week?⁠

When it comes to plugins, the fewer you have, the better. Unfortunately, plugins tend to be the most vulnerable part of a site.⁠
⁠
If you install the wrong one, you could get hacked very quickly.⁠
⁠
Only install a plugin if you really need it. They also tend to slow down sites, so consider that too. Using only what you need (and not loading your site with features that aren't necessary) will help keep your site secure + fast!⁠
