The Two Traits That Drive Fast Business Growth

If you’ve ever looked at someone else’s business success and wondered, “How are they growing so quickly?” — let me share what I’ve seen time and time again across the businesses I coach.

It’s not because they had more time, more confidence, or the perfect plan.

It’s not about being fearless or waiting until they were “ready.”

The clients I’ve seen experience the fastest, most sustainable growth all have two things in common: commitment and leadership.

These aren't fluffy mindset buzzwords — they're the foundation of real momentum, real traction, and real transformation. Let’s dig into what that actually looks like in your business.

1. Commitment: Showing Up Even When It’s Hard

Growth doesn’t come from a perfectly executed plan. It comes from sticking with your vision especially when things get uncomfortable.

Here’s what commitment actually looks like:

• Doing it scared. My most successful clients still feel self-doubt — they just don’t let it stop them.
• Staying in the game. Even when results aren’t instant, even when the launch flops or the algorithm shifts — they don’t ghost their business.
• Creating momentum out of seemingly nothing. They commit first, and momentum follows. Not the other way around.
• Consistency over perfection. They keep taking action even when it’s messy, imperfect, or unclear.

The truth is, most people quit before they ever reach the growth they’re capable of. Why? Because it gets hard. But the ones who stay — they reap the compound benefits of showing up with consistency.

If you're in a plateau, ask yourself: Am I truly committed? Or am I just hoping it will get easier before I really go all in?

2. Leadership: Taking Radical Responsibility for Your Results

Leadership isn’t about a fancy title or a team of people reporting to you. It’s about how you lead yourself.

That looks like:

• Taking ownership. Not blaming the market, timing, or algorithm.
• Holding the long-term vision even when the short-term feels shaky.
• Acting before you're fully ready. Growth rarely waits for clarity or confidence.
• Managing your mindset and decisions even when results haven’t landed yet.

The people who grow fast don’t wait for the perfect plan or permission. They lead themselves forward, recalibrate as needed, and keep moving — even when it feels wobbly.

How to Step Into Commitment and Leadership

If you’re feeling stuck, here are a few ways to check in and course correct:

• Make a decision today. Don’t wait for clarity. Decide what you're committing to and lead from that place.
• Audit your consistency. Are you showing up only when it's easy or fun? What would it look like to stay committed during the dips?
• Stop waiting for confidence. Act, adjust, and build confidence through motion — not hesitation.
• Zoom out. Are you focusing too much on short-term bumps instead of your long-term vision?
• Ask yourself daily: What’s in my control today? And how can I lead from that place?  

Real Growth Looks Like This...

One of my clients recently committed to a big vision: raising her prices, bringing in higher-calibre clients, and hiring support. Within 30 days, she had landed two premium clients, brought on a new team member, and is now tracking for a six-figure six-month run.

She didn’t wait until she felt ready. She committed. Then she led.

That’s the difference.
