The Magic of Figuring Out Your Business One Step at a Time

Melissa Hussong motorbike

Running a business can be messy, imperfect, and full of little moments where you wonder: “Am I actually getting anywhere?”

Recently I was reviewing my email marketing strategy — where I’ve been consistent, where I’ve stumbled, and where I still have room to grow.

And honestly? I felt frustrated.

I’d gone through streaks of being consistent, then fallen off, switched formats, changed strategies — the whole rollercoaster. I started feeling guilty, a little disappointed in myself, and yes… even a bit ashamed.

But then it hit me: you don’t just flip a switch and figure everything out overnight. 🩷

 

Every Step Counts

Every email I send, every tweak I make, every stat I check — I’m learning.

I’m figuring out what works, what doesn’t, and what actually resonates with my audience. Each small step brings me closer to my ideal business strategy.

And that’s the magic of building a business — it’s one step at a time. ✨

Even when it feels like you’re not “there” yet, you’re moving forward. Every iteration, every idea, every tiny action matters.

 

The Power of “Not Yet”

Here’s a mindset shift that changed everything for me: instead of beating yourself up, try this mantra:
“I haven’t figured it out yet… but I’m really close.”

Adding the word “yet” gives you grace. It reminds you that growth takes time, and that progress is happening even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment. ⚡️

You don’t have to be perfect. You just need to keep going, keep learning, and keep iterating.

 

Celebrate the Journey

The point of business — and life — isn’t just reaching the finish line. 🏍️

It’s about enjoying the thrill of learning, the beauty of figuring things out, and the growth that happens along the way.

When you embrace the process, you start to see that the little steps you’re taking today are building something amazing for tomorrow. Your business mindset shifts from pressure and frustration to curiosity and momentum.


If you haven’t figured it out yet… that’s okay.
If you’re not where you want to be… that’s okay.

Keep showing up. Keep learning.
The magic of business happens one step at a time — and you’re already on your way.
