DAY 3
A Lesson Life Taught Me That Applies to Business

The first time I saw the potential my hair had was the day I made a decision to truly invest in it.

It wasn’t in a bad place, it was already growing but I wanted more out of it. I knew that my old routine of installing a protective style and leaving it till it was time for takedown wouldn’t get me anywhere.

I wanted better.

So I sought knowledge everywhere I could. I watched videos on hair care, and I opened an Instagram account specifically to follow and soak up content from different hair influencers with 4c hair. I was intentional about it.

As time progressed, I experimented with herbs to see if they had any potential benefits. I know Hair grows naturally on its own but I needed a foolproof routine to make sure I maintained the length and health of my hair

While this might seem trivial to others, my hair journey has taught me a lot, and linking it to the area of growth, I can see some improvement in my everyday interactions.

1. Patience pays
My hair has taught me that results take time, but little things done one day at a time build up to something bigger. Hair doesn’t grow overnight, and neither do results in business. We are in a world that constantly celebrates quick wins, but my hair journey has reminded me that real and lasting change is built gradually and in layers.

2. Unlearn, learn, and relearn
It taught me how to unlearn, learn, and relearn. I have made a lot of adjustments to my hair routine, my hair products, and even my choice of protective styling. In business, markets change, strategies expire, and you have to stay adaptable.

3. Pivot When There’s Stagnation
Almost two years down the line, it has taught me to notice signs of stagnation early and make changes before things get worse. In business, that means recognizing when a campaign, product, or method is no longer effective and then having the courage to switch things up.

4. Intentionality Brings Clarity
The more deliberate I became about my hair ( that is, tracking progress, adjusting methods, seeking guidance ), the more I got clarity on what truly works for me. In business, intentional focus cuts through the noise and avoids wasting resources on things that don’t serve your bigger goal.

My hair journey might have started as a personal way of having fun, but it turned out into something more. I could call it a masterclass in growth. Whether it’s nurturing my hair or starting a business, these principles remain the same

1. Start with a vision.
2.Commit to the process.
3. Stay willing to adapt.

And most importantly, give it time.
Because just like hair, the most beautiful growth happens when no one is watching.
