Going Nowhere FAST!
In Southern California where I live, everyone seems to be in a real hurry these days. People zip by me on the freeway doing 75+ mph and get frustrated by anyone that is foolish enough to try to drive at the 65 mph speed limit. It doesn’t matter what time of the day it is, everyone is rushing around trying to get somewhere else FAST!
I often find myself wondering what all the hurrying is about and if these people rush through everything else in their life as well. I expect that they do and miss quite a lot of the good things in life in the process. Our hurry up culture tells us, “Speed is Good!”.
I find that many people want to hurry up and build their business fast too. And when they come up against an obstacle or a problem, they become very frustrated and want to quit and look for another business that will make them rich faster.
They never realize that because of their lack of patience and unwillingness to allow a business to grow slowly over time, they are actually just going nowhere real fast.
Like a garden, a successful business takes time and attention to grow strong and to yield a bountiful crop. You can’t rush Mother Nature and you can’t rush your life and business either.
So slow down this month, take some time to learn new things and to plant some patience in your business garden. Remember — real success, the kind that lasts, comes from doing the little things right, day after day after day.
