The Benefits Of Succeeding Slowly.
If you’re trying to succeed at almost anything in the digital age there’s one thing you’ll be painfully aware of: it’s possible to succeed faster.
You’ll have seen more articles and videos than you can count about somebody who was able to achieve what you’re trying to achieve in a weekend. Your newsfeeds will mysteriously start filling up with ads about how some young hot-shot made millions of dollars in less than a year with one simple trick.
And best of all, you can do it too! All you need to do is buy this course or listen to that podcast or attend the other seminar. And you’re tempted. After all, why waste your time struggling alongside all the suckers when you can just fast-track your way to success?
Of course, it hardly ever works that way. Yes, every now and then some wunderkind manages to catch lightning in a bottle. They see an opportunity so specific or time a product so serendipitously that people are throwing money at them faster than they can grab it. We hear all about these people because the story of the bold, feisty visionary who moved fast and won big, gets more ad clicks than a story about how hard work and diligence paid off in the end.
