Hi Reader,

Lately I’ve been watching founders, teams, and even parents make the same mistake Navy SEALs warn against:

They move fast… and everything gets slower.

The SEAL mantra says it best:

“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”

People rush through decisions, sprint through conversations, and barrel through emotions, and then wonder why everything feels chaotic, inconsistent, or full of unnecessary friction.

Here’s the real insight:

When you rush, you create rework.
When you move deliberately, you create flow.
And when things flow, everything accelerates.

This is true in business, leadership, and relationships:

  • In strategy, rushing the “how” creates messy execution.
  • In communication, rushing conversations creates misunderstandings that shouldn’t exist.
  • In leadership, rushing decisions destroys trust and burns energy.
  • In relationships, rushing emotions turns small issues into big ones.

Speed isn’t the goal. Clarity is.

Clarity creates smoothness.
Smoothness creates speed.
Speed is the byproduct.

Don’t rush like a rookie. Move clean. Move calm. Clean and calm wins.

Here’s the shift: Move with intention now so everything compounds later.


If you’re an entrepreneur, or know one who would benefit from creating clarity, aligning their team, building momentum, and growing their business with the Bloom Growth system, I’d love to connect.

Here's Some Inner Game Wisdom to Chew on This Week

1 punchy question to rattle your brain

Are you making decisions from clarity, or from convenience?

2 quick Q&As from me

  1. What’s the real enemy of good decisions?
    Not fear. Haste. Most bad choices come from refusing to sit in uncertainty long enough.

  2. How do you know you’re making the right call?
    When the decision shrinks your anxiety but expands your responsibility.

3 truths

  1. Indecision Is the Most Expensive Decision
    Delay costs more than mistakes. Mistakes teach, delay multiplies confusion.
    (Click to Tweet)
  2. A Clear No Is More Powerful Than a Hesitant Yes
    Most regrets come from half-hearted commitments, not bold refusals.

  3. Your Environment Makes More Decisions Than You Do
    If you don’t design your surroundings, they’ll quietly design your outcomes.
