Growth is uncomfortable.

It’ll test your patience, your discipline, your sense of direction.

But staying the same?

That quietly drains you too, just slower.

One pain builds you.
The other slowly breaks you.

The difference?

One ends in strength.

The other ends in stories of what could’ve been.

If you’re leading, building, or creating something that matters

don’t run from discomfort.

Learn to read it.

It’s often the clearest signal that you’re still alive inside your purpose.

5 reminders for every founder and leader:

1/ Growth has a cost, but so does stagnation.
Choose which bill you’re willing to pay.

2/ Don’t mistake chaos for failure.
Sometimes the mess means you’re mid-transformation.

3/ You don’t outgrow fear, you out-train it.
Repetition builds confidence.

4/ Comfort is a trap disguised as peace.
It whispers “rest” when it really means “retreat.”

5/ Keep your vision louder than your doubt.
The mind quits long before the mission does.

Pick the pain that moves you forward.

P.S. Which kind of pain are you choosing right now or the one that builds you or the one that holds you back?

People don’t quit jobs.

They quit feeling invisible, misunderstood, or micromanaged.

And most of the time?

It wasn’t the workload.

It was the way their leader spoke to them.

Because in remote teams, your words carry weight.

They either build autonomy or break trust.

So I created a cheat sheet:

10 Phrases That Inspire Ownership & Safety Remotely:

❌ Instead of: “Why didn’t anyone tell me?”
✅ Try this: “I may not see everything, tell me what I’m missing.”

❌ Instead of: “Just keep me updated every step of the way.”
✅ Try this: “I trust you to own this. Loop me in only if needed.”

❌ Instead of: “What’s the issue now?”
✅ Try this: “Where do you need clarity, from me or the bigger picture?”

❌ Instead of: “Don’t mess it up, just follow the process.”
✅ Try this: “You’ve got room to experiment, just share your thinking.”

❌ Instead of: “Are you working full hours?”
✅ Try this: “I’m not tracking hours. I’m tracking impact.”

❌ Instead of: “What’s everyone working on right now?”
✅ Try this: “Let’s focus on what’s essential this week.”

❌ Instead of: “Why wasn’t this done right the first time?”
✅ Try this: “That’s on me. I didn’t set the right expectations.”

❌ Instead of: “Didn’t we already decide on this?”
✅ Try this: “Your insight changed my mind, thank you.”

❌ Instead of: “Why didn’t you request time off earlier?”
✅ Try this: “You don’t need to explain, take the time off.”

❌ Instead of: “Here’s what went wrong in that project.”
✅ Try this: “Let’s debrief together. I want your take.”

These words do something subtle but powerful:

They create psychological safety.
They remind people they’re trusted adults, not robots waiting for permission.

📌 Save this. Share it with your leadership team.
And if you’re leading remotely, use it before your next 1:1.

And remember, you don’t need to speak often, but when you do…

make it count.
