How focusing on successes can boost your startup

“Problems scream for attention while successes only whisper…” One of our investors recently shared this with me, and it stopped me in my tracks. It’s so easy—especially as a founder—to focus on what’s broken, what needs fixing, and what’s loud. We're wired to put out fires. But this quote reminded me that some of our biggest opportunities are quietly waiting in what’s already working—the systems, people, and ideas that hum in the background without drama. At Gardenuity, we’ve seen the quiet wins: 💚 A customer who starts gardening and sleeps better. 🌿 A team that grows stronger through small, shared rituals. ✨ A partner who plants one garden and ends up scaling wellness across an entire organization. This is my reminder (to myself, and maybe to you too): Don’t just chase what’s broken. Nurture what’s blooming. That’s where the magic multiplies. #Leadership #Mindset #Startups #Gardenuity #GrowWhatMatters #WellnessAtWork #Entrepreneurship #Gratitude
