Our Own Rate Of Growth

I planted tomato seeds
harvested from the same plant,
stored and sown in the same way.

Some plants sprouted
weeks apart.

The late sprouters
look as healthy
and viable
as the early sprouters.
I suspect they will bear
as many tomatoes.

They merely were
on a different schedule.

I’m on a different schedule
from other business builders.
I suspect you are too.

That schedule isn’t bad
or good.
It is merely different.

It is OUR schedule.

Don’t compare
your rate of growth
to those of other businesses.

You and your business
are unique.
Your rate of growth
will be unique also.
