You start a business.
The first few weeks, your phone is as busy as a Black Friday sale.
Everyone wants the inside scoop..old college pals, your aunt who once sold Tupperware, even that guy who ghosted you after the third date.
Everyone’s suddenly fascinated by “the founder life.”
You get that glazed look in your eyes when you talk about it, half-caffeinated, half-hoping, half-scared. (Yeah, that’s too many halves. You get it. This shit is messy.)
You share your vision, your why, maybe even your revenue numbers (the honest ones, not the ones you put on LinkedIn).
You’re vulnerable.
You let them in.
And they’re curious.
At first.
And the thing about curiosity is, it's lazy.
It wants the payoff, the climax, the “I told you so” moment.
It doesn’t want the grind, the silence when you wonder if your best idea is a dud.
Curiosity wants the big moment, not the hard work it takes to get there.
So you keep showing up.
You keep writing, selling, showing up even when the room is empty.
Slowly, the messages stop coming.
“How’s the business?” becomes “How’s work?”
And then… nothing.
They don’t ask about your business anymore.
Not because they don’t care but because you’re not giving them a story they can retell at parties.
You’re not a viral sensation.

You’re just… building.
