On patience

Recently, I had a talk with a serial entrepreneur who has started and scaled multiple saas businesses. I asked him to name one thing that has been most helpful in achieving his level of success.
Do you know what he said?
What's your best guess?
Patience.
Well, the title of this article was a bit of a giveaway wasn't it?
In all honesty, I was expecting him to say something quite lofty or at least in several more words. Instead, all he left me with was one word. Patience.
This got me thinking...
Patience is one of the virtues you hear a lot about. The virtue of patience is extolled so much it's almost cliche.
However, putting it to practice is easier said than done. We live in a culture that is obsessed with overnight successes and the shortest path to getting things done. It's great to be efficient, but being effective and finishing with finesse is sometimes a long and arduous journey. Embrace the process and be kind to yourself.
Here are 5 things to keep in mind as you make goals;
- Be realistic
- Work hard at it
- Be patient
- Be patient
- Be patient
