You Can’t Rush True Growth
Modern human instinct is to expect instantaneous results. We know what we want, and we want it NOW, NOW, NOW! Technology has made us impatient and privileged.
This sentiment might sound anti-tech, but if anything, I'm a tech evangelist. I truly believe that, if used right, the internet can be the ultimate force of good. But some aspects of progress benefit from patience, a skill we are gradually losing.
As a solopreneur, I’ve had to relearn patience. New business owners naturally expect instant success. Faith and pride in your ideas can cause false expectations. Truthfully, rapid growth is an outlier. Success is usually slow. Frustratingly slow. But as long as you’re growing, success is worth the wait.
