BRX Pro Tip: When to be Patient
Stone Payton: Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips, Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, not a superpower of mine, but certainly something that we have to think through and be smart about, and that’s this topic of patience.
Lee Kantor: Yeah, being patient, when to be patient, that is a tricky thing for a lot of people. Patience isn’t always just about waiting. It’s also about knowing when waiting may pay off. And in business, being patient to me means that’s about building relationships. That’s about developing new skills or launching a big idea. Those are things that you have to do slowly and build over time. It’s not something that you’re going to get an immediate ROI on the first day you start, because results rarely happen that quickly.
Lee Kantor: So, you have to give your efforts and time to kind of marinate, grow, mature. But always keep in mind that patience isn’t the same as inaction. It isn’t abdicating. Like somebody said to me one time in an interview that I repeated all the time, it’s delegate but don’t abdicate. You have to stay engaged, you have to keep learning, and you have to be ready to pivot and move when the moment’s right.
Lee Kantor: So sometimes, though, the smartest move is to take a breath and wait, but do that strategically.
