Slow and steady wins the race

We all remember hearing this fable as a child. Slow and steady wins the race. –Aesop

Rushing has become the norm. We live in a society where instant gratification is rampant. This can lead to burn out and being disconnected to people and our purpose.  

I like to focus in on the word STEADY. 

Steady makes me think of balance, consistency,  practice, and repetition.

Think about a tree. 

Some trees take 20-30 years to grow to their full height. 

The growth is steady and takes time. 

Now think about your business.

I’m not saying it will take 20-30 years to reach its full potential, but it does take time.

It takes steady growth, investment, modification, implementation and a clear focus on the goal ahead. And patience. Patience. Patience.
