📖 From Stephen Covey’s classic book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People…
To focus on technique is like cramming your way through school. You sometimes get by, perhaps even get good grades, but if you don’t pay the price day in and day out, you never achieve true mastery of the subjects you study or develop an educated mind.
Did you ever consider how ridiculous it would be to try to cram on a farm—to forget to plant in the spring, play all summer and then cram in the fall to bring in the harvest? The farm is a natural system. The price must be paid and the process followed. You always reap what you sow; there is no shortcut.
This principle is also true, ultimately, in human behavior, in human relationships. They, too, are natural systems based on the law of the harvest.
I’d say the principle is also true in entrepreneurship.
Anyone can get lucky and make a nice chunk of money in one go, but your goal should be to become the type of person who can build a successful business in any economy.
That’s true mastery, and with it comes some serious peace of mind 🧘
