Good Impatience vs. Bad Impatience

Life isn’t black or white. It’s situational. The most successful people have specific playbooks for different situations—knowing when to be impatient and when to wait for compounding effects.

Good Impatience: When to Push Hard

✅ Speed in Execution – Test fast, iterate faster. If you’re sitting on an idea, you’re already losing.

✅ Cutting Dead Weight – Bad hires, bad businesses, bad habits—drop them fast before they sink you.

✅ Learning & Pivoting – If a strategy isn’t working, tweak or pivot aggressively rather than waiting it out.

✅ Closing the Deal – Momentum matters. Follow up fast, get commitments, and don’t let leads go cold.

✅ Escaping the Wrong Path – Stuck in a career, relationship, or business model that’s dead? Move. Now.

Bad Impatience: When to Play the Long Game

❌ Business Growth – Real, lasting businesses take years to compound. Switching models every 3 months kills momentum.

❌ Brand Building – Reputation, trust, and audience don’t happen overnight. Stay consistent.

❌ Mastering a Skill – If you’re not giving something at least 6-12 months, you’re likely quitting too soon.

❌ Wealth Creation – The biggest money flows to those who play the long-term asymmetric bets.

❌ Relationships & Teams – Humans don’t evolve overnight. Growth takes investment over time.

Dichotomy of Success: Knowing the Difference

The best operators never rush what takes time and never wait on what should be done now.

👉 Move fast in experiments, slow in mastery.

👉 Cut liabilities instantly, but compound assets over time.

👉 Don’t rush wealth—rush leverage.

What are you rushing that needs patience? And what are you waiting on that should’ve been done yesterday?
