Patience is not optional in digital business. It’s everything.
3 min readMay 27, 2025
Most people building a digital business quit after 3 months.
They say things like:
- “No one’s reading my blog.”
- “My YouTube views are stuck.”
- “This niche is saturated.”
- “Maybe I’m not cut out for this…”
Here’s the brutal truth:
They’re making the bamboo mistake!
Let me explain.
A farmer once planted bamboo.
In Year 1: nothing.
Year 2: still dirt.
Year 3? More silence.
People laughed. “You’re wasting your time.”
But in Year 5, the bamboo exploded — 30 feet in six weeks.
Because all those years? It was building a root system underground.
Now imagine your digital business.
- You’re writing blog posts.
- Uploading videos.
- Automating email flows.
- Posting content that barely gets seen.
