Only patience begets patience

Seth Godin insight on value
The next entrepreneurial lesson could be the theory of walking away from both little and big opportunities).

 

Being an entrepreneur can be a blind spot when it comes to people looking in from the outside. While the benefits seem greater for the entrepreneur than for working for someone else, the “benefits” do not exist for any entrepreneur until one succeeds at creating and maintaining a thriving business model.

You can start something, but statistics tell a sad story for the majority.

One of the biggest early lessons i’ve learned is:

Only patience begets patience.

When negotiating with other alpha dog executives, egos (and fear) can destroy common sense logic. This can drag things out to the point of exposing unfavorable working conditions – a diseased organizational culture.

Past failures, experience with hurtful, untrustworthy partners and clients – all of this builds a wall. A wall that may only crumble if one is willing to walk away.

Most executives are stuck.

Very few organizations are running in a state of bliss.

Why is that?

Putting yourself in the path of progress increases your value when it comes to real estate.

It’s the same with leadership and vision.

Envisioning the future and taking calculated risks to prepare for the opportunity to be in a great position requires something special.

Patience, determination, and preparation.

The long way eventually becomes the short cut.

Here’s to hoping you have a clear concise, and compelling personal vision for 2016.

My vision has always revolved around working in Central Florida. Having lots of frequent flier status (like in the past) is not something i’m interested in. In 2015, had only one engagement outside of Florida.

Patience and pain can turn into astonishing opportunity

Unique honeymoon ideas
A 1984 international bicycle trek (on a honeymoon no less) was never something i could have predicted.

 

Turned the corner on a steep and impatient learning curve.

Thank goodness for trust. It allows patience and pain to be an opportunity rather than an illness.

In reality, i was unprepared for having to negotiate six-figure cultural transformation contracts.

Why?

Because it was never part of my future.
