An angel investor in India
posted that one of the first thing he looks for
in entrepreneurs is
“the ability to accept “delayed gratification””.
I thought that was such a given
that it was not post worthy
…until I started reading the comments.
Successful entrepreneurs HAVE to delay gratification.
There are no immediate results.
Products have to be produced before they are sold.
Posts have to be written before traffic comes.
The delay between the two could be months
(for blogs, 9 months in the Google sandbox)
or even years.
9 months in the Google sandbox- yes- but thats also why I am going to beat my competition when it comes to my Super Bowl blog. I’ve been patiently working away building it with no income from it, waiting, soaking, getting rankings….and then the payoff comes!
