A Dripping Tap Still Fills a Bucket
You have most probably heard the phrase 'slow and steady wins the race'? I think this is a great reminder that even a dripping tap will still fill a bucket! In other words, don't try to do everything at breakneck speed. Sure, that's fine when you have the luxury of time, but the point here is that you don't need to stress yourself to burnout phase when trying to accomplish a task.
Of course, it's important to set goals and be determined to see them through, but what I want you to think about is what is the point of pushing yourself to the stage of exhaustion? Tomorrow is another day and while you want to change the future for yourself and your family, it is also important that you are around to enjoy that new future and new beginnings, and not be suffering from stress, heart attack or worse.

So as long as you are taking steps towards that new future, you are moving in the right direction. Make them small steps if you need to, just make sure you make them count. Don't wear yourself out and make sure to give yourself some down time as well. Rest and recuperation are just as important as looking after your future.
Take care of yourself, keep taking the steps, (no matter how small,) and pushing forward and you will get where you want/need to be. Patience can be a virtue!
Happy Monday fellow entrepreneurs!
Jude.

Good morning Jude. Good post. I sometimes feel like there is an urgancy to get this done as well and all that doesnis cause me to loose sleep. Paceing oneself is better and if one can give more time in a Day that's OK but don't get obsessive about 8t. That's when burn out happens. Some each day will make it happen. We must be petient with ourselves.
So true. Patience is a very real, and very necessary virtue. It is so easy to feel that we are not making enough progress, and to feel that things are not coming together fast enough. Our efforts to find a solid and healthy prospective of where we at are so important.
Sometimes we may want to look to others to understand how far we have come, or take a minute and look at the impossible feats we have overcome in an effort to struggle with the tasks we face today. Chances are the very fact that you are facing a certain challenge today is because you overcome those that came before it.
This is a most valuable message that is a healthy reminder for all.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Agreed. As long as you keep moving forward or at least in the right direction.
Quit comparing yourself to the " joneses" that come in and set up a site in less than a week!!
As you said- find Your pace.
Hi Jude and very well spoken braise this is so true and even today when I was doing my excercise my wife came back into the room and said no slow down and bend all the way do it slow let but bend further and she wasso right because I feel it more in the muscles so do everything s bit slower but correctly and the result will be better in the end -
Jude, another great post that you issued for members; something that I've personally come to expect from you as you always articulate your thoughts so very well!
I know that sometimes in my own business here at WA I constantly have to remind myself to be patient. It's not about trying to build a business as quickly as possible. As you said it's about the important little steps, done one by one that will get one towards his/her goal.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here, Jude!
Jeff

Hey Jude, more great advice! However, some of us have to work when the adrenalin is pumping or we'd go and do something else! Not me, of course! Best wishes, Chris
