Why I’m Not Rushing My Business
|
One thing I’m struggling a lot with is patience. I enjoy business, and in business we are always concerned with growth. We want to believe there’s a way to get rich fast. While I do believe there are better vehicles out there to grow faster, speed is only one side of pursuing a business. I’m now almost 4 years into my journey. This is not a good business if you can only do it for a few years and then completely drop off a cliff. As dads, we can’t get swallowed or destroyed by our business. There are two things I believe we need to do to be content with slow growth: 1. Plan for Long Outcomes Realize it’s not a sprint but a marathon. We build for decades, not for days. 2. Take Consistent Action Being consistent is not about a posting schedule. It means to show up daily, ready to do the work. There is no success when we don’t start, don’t take action, quit, or have to stop. Many people I have seen quit. They chased success too early— Being content with slow growth is the only option for lasting success. |
