Planting Seeds 🌱

The Farmer’s Mindset. 

Farmers don’t plant seeds for quick wins. They plant because they believe in the process. They know growth takes time—months, sometimes years—but when the harvest comes, it’s worth every ounce of effort.

At Notice Me(dia), that’s how we think too. I have been a firm believer and I’ve written about it again and again of how We’ve never taken a sales call. Not once.

Planting seeds is the foundation of everything we do. It’s how we sell, build relationships, and grow. We don’t rush. We don’t push. Instead, we trust the long game.

It’s slow, sure. But it’s powerful.

About a year ago, I joined a founder community. No pitches. No funnels. No salesy gimmicks. Just a straightforward offer:

"If anyone has questions about LinkedIn, I’d love to help."

I gave value calls, answered questions, and helped founders get clarity—no strings attached. Some founders reached out immediately. Most didn’t. But that wasn’t the goal.

Eight months later, one of those founders came back:

"Josh, I remember the value you gave me. I’m ready now."

Today, that founder is one of our biggest case studies. Every week, they tell us how much we overdeliver—even as paying clients.

No farmer plants seeds expecting a full harvest in a week. They plant with decades in mind. They picture orchards, shade trees, and fields of abundance, then show up every day to nurture their crops.

That’s how we approach business at Notice Me(dia).

Planting seeds is a discipline. It’s about believing that your actions today will create the opportunities of tomorrow.

Over the past year, we’ve seen this play out again and again.

The friend they referred.

The introductions we’ve made since.

The cycle of trust, value, and growth repeats itself.

This philosophy isn’t unique to us—it works everywhere. Whether you’re building a personal brand, running a business, or strengthening your network, planting seeds is the way forward.

People don’t buy because of a pitch. They buy because they trust you. And trust doesn’t happen overnight—it’s built through consistent, genuine interactions over time.

That’s why planting seeds is so powerful. When done right, it turns into a self-sustaining cycle of trust, referrals, and growth.

So plant the seeds. Your harvest is coming.
