Ep2: Watering a Dead Stick: How Small Beginnings Lead to Big Breakthroughs

We all want the big win. The viral moment. The explosive growth.
But what if greatness doesn’t start with a bang—
What if it starts with watering a dead stick?

In Episode 2 of The Unshakable Edge, we dive into the uncomfortable, unsexy, yet powerful truth: growth is often invisible at first. You’re showing up, doing the work, and nothing seems to be happening. But beneath the surface? The roots are forming. The strength is building. And momentum is quietly gaining ground.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

🌱 The Truth About Small Beginnings

We break the myth that you have to start big to make an impact. Every oak tree was once an acorn. Every strong leader was once unseen and unheard. You don’t need fireworks—you need faithfulness.

🔄 Gap vs. Gain: The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

Most people measure their progress by how far they still have to go (the gap). But real motivation comes from seeing how far you’ve already come (the gain). This shift rewires your mindset to build confidence and momentum—even when you’re not where you want to be yet.

💪 Grit Over Glamour

We explore why grit—your ability to keep showing up when it’s not easy or exciting—is more powerful than talent or motivation. Discipline beats drama every time.

✍️ Own Your Story

Your past isn’t a liability—it’s your testimony. We unpack how embracing where you’ve been gives you the authority to lead others forward. People don’t need your perfection—they need your authenticity.

🔥 Big Takeaway:

You don’t need to see the fruit right away to know you’re growing. Just keep watering.

Your faithfulness today is preparing you for fruitfulness tomorrow.

What “dead stick” in your life is actually a seed in disguise?
Push play, get inspired, and keep showing up.
