"Cold outreach is rented growth. Inbound is owned growth."

This is the magic of inbound marketing done right.

But here’s where most early-stage founders go wrong 👇

⏳ They expect inbound to deliver in weeks—not realizing that category-defining brands spent years building content, community, and credibility.

📉 They expect it to behave like outbound. Inbound isn’t meant to give you a spike. It’s built to give you a slope—one that compounds slowly at first, then reliably and consistently.

Yes, it takes time.

Yes, it feels slow.

⚠️ And that’s exactly why most people quit too early.

The truth?

You can’t brute-force your way into inbound success with 20 blog posts and a few backlinks.

🎯 You need clarity on who you’re targeting, how they convert, and whether your funnel is even set up to catch that traffic.

🎟️ In our upcoming workshop “Are You Inbound-Ready?”, we’ll unpack:

✅ What inbound can (and can’t) do for your GTM
✅ The 4-point readiness lens every founder should apply
✅ The biggest infra mistakes that kill ROI
✅ How to measure success without waiting 12 months
