MOTM #694: The Slingshot Slowdown

Monday, December 8th, 2025

If you want to do some serious growing, you’re going to have to slow down for a time. It’s like a slingshot—you’ve gotta pull the rubberneck backwards before there’s any forward acceleration. Slowing down can feel like losing, so before you quit in the slow down, make sure you give yourself enough time and a big enough safety net to hold on until you pick up speed again.

Let’s chat.

Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, deepen their impact, and build a life that they love. I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I hope this podcast inspires you make moves and do the thing. Action is the answer.
