318: The Quiet Power Moves That Build Big Business

The Quiet Power Moves That Build Big Business

In the digital age, it’s easy to believe that success in business is all about being loud, going viral, and collecting followers. But as Tina Tower reminds us in her latest Her Empire Builder Show episode, the true “empire builders” are the ones making subtle, strategic moves behind the scenes. These quiet power moves are the backbone of sustainable, profitable businesses—not the flashy moments that grab headlines on social media.

Why Loud Isn’t Always Better

There’s a common myth that only extroverts—or those who shout the loudest online—thrive in business. Tina Tower challenges this idea, sharing her own experience as an introvert who sometimes craves solitude over visibility. She proves that you don’t need to push yourself to exhaustion, or force extroversion, to build a flourishing online brand.

What Are Quiet Power Moves?

Quiet power moves are the unsexy, often invisible actions that make the biggest difference. They’re the strategic habits and decisions made when no one’s watching. You won’t get a dopamine hit or applause for setting boundaries, refining systems, or making follow-up sales calls. But these are the very things that compound over time, creating a foundation for long-term growth.

Examples of Quiet Power Moves:

• Protecting Your Time:

• Deep Work Days: Setting aside a day for deep, strategic tasks like planning launches, analyzing data, and enhancing customer experience. Without space to slow down and reflect, many entrepreneurs sprint so fast they miss vital opportunities for growth.

• Optimizing Funnels & Systems: Instead of chasing new shiny tactics, optimize what you already have. Analyze your website traffic, improve your email sequences, and streamline your evergreen funnels to create passive income streams.

• Investing in Customer Experience: Constantly seek ways to serve your community better—even if it’s a hefty investment in tools or systems (like

• Embracing Simplicity: Over time, businesses tend to bloat with added offers and ideas. Strip back, focus, and refine your messaging to increase clarity—and revenue.

Quiet Leadership Over Loud Trends

There’s power in choosing depth over noise. Tina Tower discusses the importance of staying consistent instead of chasing every social media trend or publicly broadcasting revenue wins. True growth comes from delivering amazing results for your clients and cultivating lasting relationships, not from top-line vanity metrics.

How to Start Making Quiet Power Moves

• Block off white space in your calendar every week. Use this time for deep work, reflection, and creative strategy—not just operational tasks.

• Audit your customer journey and offers. Commit to improving backend systems and tightening funnel conversions.

• Simplify. Refine your brand messaging and kill off low-impact offers.

• Prioritize habits for the long game. Stay focused on stability and client results, not fleeting applause.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, what matters most is the impact you create for your clients and the sustainability of your business. Quiet power moves may not be glamorous, but they build the empires that last. As Tina Tower says: prioritize freedom, flexibility, revenue, and profit—in a way that aligns with your values and desired lifestyle.
