Slow and Steady growth I was recently vending at a local art event and had the pleasure of sampling Perfectly Cordial to an executive of Red Bull. I asked him for his best advice when it comes to growing a beverage company. He responded with Community and Slow and Steady growth. It warmed my heart and confirmed that I am on the right track. As a founder it’s easy to get caught up in the social media hype or the conference mania and think that you have to move fast, grow fast, do everything fast. Word of mouth is the number one mover for Perfectly Cordial. We have doubled down on Community by opening OneShop. Supporting over 100 small makers and founders throughout the year. We have changed our recipe to focus on sustainability but retaining our flavor. We have launched the Cordial Cart to bring inclusive drinking to large events and gatherings. To other founders: There is nothing wrong with small wins……….slow growth………and being a profitable business . #smallbusiness #femalefounder #blackownedbusiness #femalefounder #responsiblescaling

Reminds me of that saying, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Absolutely! Sustainable growth often stems from genuine relationships and community. In a world chasing quick successes, valuing depth over speed is both brave and wise.
