In our microwave society,
With fast food, fast cars, and overnight success.
It’s rare to see anyone playing the long game.
If they can’t have it right now they don’t want it.
It’s no wonder most new businesses fail within the first two years.
And that’s good news for anyone who can weather the shitstorm that is entrepreneurship.
You want to know the secret to success?
Be patient.
Be persistent.
And be ready to pounce when opportunity strikes.
Nope, it’s not ninja.
It’s not bright or shiny.
And it’s not anything you’ve never heard before.
This week we signed a new production deal that got me thinking about this.
Originally I talked to these guys way back in October of last year.
They said they were ready and then they dropped of the face of the planet for nearly eight months.
I’d be lying if I said it didn’t bother me (a bit.)
But I still sent them emails, case studies, and even a few reports by snail mail.
Why? Becuase I’m in it for the long game.
I know that it takes time to get results and so do my best clients.
That’s why I always tell people podcasting is more like a marathon than a sprint.
The point?
Maybe a podcast isn’t right for you right now.
But it’s only a matter of time.
When you’re ready I’ll be here.
The only difference…
I’ll prolly be charging a whole lot more than I am today.
Go get’em tiger,
