The speed of steady

The speed of steady

Any careful observer would have seen the number of startups that have shut down recently. One of the most recent ones really dashed hopes.

In a world where status is gained by growth at all costs, the number on your MRR, and how much you recently raised, events will always remind those who care of the basics - the simplicity of doing something consistently, even if slow.

It takes a high level of restraint to see another company in your cluster experiencing massive growth and not want to do similar things.

It takes restraint to follow your ‘slow’ thought-out plan.

It takes restraint to be steady, patient, and consistent.

But that’s what works.

Reliability and consistency lead to progress.

Steady is fast.
