A loved one
buys fully grown plants
every year.
She isn’t willing to wait
to have the garden
she desires.
Another loved one
buys seedlings.
He’s willing to wait
a couple of weeks
for his filled out garden.
I like planting seeds.
I’m willing to wait
three, four, five months
for a producing garden.
There’s nothing wrong
with any of these patience levels.
But it is important to know
how long we are willing
to delay our gratification,
especially with building a business.
It will determine,
for example,
if we
buy a fully operational business
or
invest in an existing franchise
or
start a business
from absolutely nothing.
How long are you willing
to wait
for results?
