Practice, practice, and more practice…what’s necessary in life and in your business.
What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence. – Samuel Johnson
These words of wisdom apply to business, sports, education…nothing is easy on the first attempt – unless you have a natural talent at it – and even then, the more you practice, the better you get .
For the rest of us, we must practice over and over again, until a task or skill can be completed with ease.
This concept is easy to understand when we apply it to sports or education: you don’t wake up one morning and easily run a marathon or attend one foreign language class and then speak it fluently the next day.
Why then, do so many of us expect overnight success after starting a business?
No matter what business you are in, you will need to put in time and practice – to work diligently, in order to experience success. So keep working and have patience that the “job” of business owner gets easier the more time we spend on it.
