Episode 53 – Focusing on the Long Game – Patience in Business

Hey rebels! Having patience in business is really hard.  We see everyone crushing their goals and we wonder why we aren’t growing faster.  What’s wrong with us?  Why aren’t we rolling in the cash?  Why can’t I flit off to a deserted island and work on my laptop whilst being served drinks by a hunky cabana boy? Um…  because that takes work and a LOT of patience, perseverance, and grit.  You CAN get there, but it’s not going to happen overnight and that my rebel friends is REALITY!  We are all about big dreams and bigger than life goals, however patience is the key.  People and businesses who you think are overnight successes have been working REALLY HARD behind the scenes making it happen.  

In order to get where you want to go you have to have a mindset shift.  You need patience, determination and the mental capacity to project your business into the future by focusing on the long game.  Not really sure what that is?  Well, tune in and find out!
