I’m as patient as a cat in a fishbowl. As a dog in front of a bone. As patient as a toddler in a toy store.

I’m not patient.

When you look deep within yourself, you’re impatient for many reasons.

I’m impatient because of my wild personality traits. ADD, type-A, mildly OCD and introverted. Go ahead, keep thinking it.

I’m a mess, and it’s safe to say, you’re not far behind me.

Over the years of building my business, I’ve learned many lessons on how to be patient, which I’ll share with you now…

Patient is a virtue. Your mom was right.

A lot of people want to be an “overnight” success yet the only way to be a success is over many nights.

How’s that for a contradiction?

Success takes patience. An intense focus on a goal followed by laser-like execution.

Nothing great happens today. Today is for execution. Tomorrow is where you’ll achieve the fruits of your labor from today’s output.
