When Growth Feels Slow: How to Stay Motivated and Keep Going
There are seasons in business when everything feels exciting and full of momentum. Sales are coming in, new clients are finding you, and you feel unstoppable.
And then there are seasons when things feel slower.
You’re showing up, putting in the work, and doing everything right, but the results aren’t coming as fast as you hoped. Maybe you’re questioning if it’s working, if you’re cut out for this, or if you should pivot.
If this is where you are right now, you are not alone—and nothing has gone wrong.
Building a wildly successful business takes time, intention, and consistency. The slow seasons are not the end of your story. In fact, they’re often where the most powerful growth happens behind the scenes.
Here are a few supportive and strategic ways to stay motivated when it feels like your progress isn’t showing up as quickly as you’d like.
1. Reconnect with Your Vision
When things feel slow, it’s easy to focus only on what isn’t working. That’s when you need to come back to why you started in the first place.
Open up your journal or planner and ask yourself:
What is the dream I’m building?
Who am I doing this for?
What kind of life am I creating for myself?
Getting clear on the bigger picture helps you keep going, even when the small steps feel heavy.
If you’re using FEA Create, create a vision board right inside your platform dashboard or set up weekly goals to keep that dream front and center.
2. Measure What You Can Control
Success isn’t just about likes, sales, or followers. Focus on what you can control:
How many people you reached out to this week
The content you created and shared
The systems you set up behind the scenes
Celebrate your effort, not just the outcome. The results will come—but consistency always comes first.
3. Create Structure with Systems
Feeling scattered can make slow seasons even harder. Give yourself a rhythm to follow each week.
Inside FEA Create, you can schedule your:
Social media posts
Email newsletters
Blog content
Booking calendar for calls
Funnels and automations
Let your systems take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on showing up with energy and intention.
4. Take a Break from Comparison
It’s incredibly easy to scroll on Instagram or see someone else’s launch and feel like you’re behind.
But remember this: you’re not seeing the years of work it took them to get there. Their journey is not your timeline. You are exactly where you need to be.
Instead of comparing, take inspiration. Use that energy to fuel your next move—not stall your momentum.
5. Reflect on How Far You’ve Come
Look back at your wins from the past few months. Big or small, they matter:
That blog post you finally published
The DM you received from someone who felt seen
The automation you set up to save yourself hours every week
Progress isn’t always loud. Sometimes it shows up in quiet confidence, better boundaries, or more clarity. That counts too.
6. Surround Yourself with Support
If you're part of the Members’ Club, go back into the community. Ask for feedback. Share where you're at. There is so much power in knowing you’re not doing this alone.
If you’re not yet part of the Members' Club or FEA Create, this could be the perfect time to plug into a supportive space where other women are walking this journey with you.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to stay in the room.
Final Thoughts
Slow seasons are not a sign to give up. They’re an invitation to go deeper, get grounded, and prepare for your next breakthrough.
Keep showing up. Keep trusting yourself. Keep holding the vision, even when the numbers aren’t reflecting it yet.
Momentum builds quietly—and then all at once.
And when it does, you’ll be so proud you didn’t quit.
