A shallow woodland stream flows gently over rocks beneath a canopy of lush green trees, with sunlight filtering through the leaves and reflecting on the clear water.

Rockhopping

June 29, 20262 min read

One of my passions is walking in the woods.

What makes a good walk a great walk is coming across a babbling creek.

I get a great sense of pleasure from finding a way across the creek without getting my feet wet.

From the shore, all of the rocks look like good options.

But a seasoned hiker knows you can't trust the way the rocks look.

You have to put a tentative foot out, lean a bit of your weight on it, and test the rock's stability.

Sometimes the rock's base is solid, and you can move forward... sometimes it's not, and you need to choose another path.

That alternative path occasionally requires backtracking.

It's not always fast, and it is not always easy, but it is always satisfying when you reach the other shore.

Running a business is so much like rockhopping.

If you're struggling right now, it means you're trying to get to the next shoreline. That's the whole point of the work. Moving forward down the path.

Keep going, even if it means finding a different path because the one you're on isn't stable.

You've got this. And, if you need some help along the way, I'm here for you.
