As an entrepreneur, patience and speed are 2 qualities that are not optional - you absolutely must be able to focus on the long-term and not sweat the small stuff while also being able to work quickly and get things done.
Speaking about patience and speed. These are two wonderful virtues which smart people uphold.
The patient dog they say eats the fattest bones. Patience gives you the ability and privilege to survey you business environment properly before making use of the second virtue 'speed*
Once you are done with surveying and observing ,the next is to delve in with all you've got and all the speed just so no one else comes in front of you.
To be a successful entrepreneur , one must uphold and practice these two vital virtues.
I absolutely agree with you @sistem! By being patient and taking a step back, you can often "see the whole board" as the expression goes. "the next is to delve in with all you've got" - love this as well!
