A cool minute longer

How do you make hard things work out for you?

Give them a cool minute longer:

Hard projects are hard in the short-term. People don’t do hard projects, or avoid them, because of this. But for those who can give it a cool minute longer, they realise progress becomes geometric.

New skills can be tough to learn, especially without a guide. People don’t develop new skills because of this. But for those who can give it a cool minute longer, they realise things start to click.

Saying no to the wrong work, so you can say yes to the right work, can feel scary. People don’t do it precisely because of this. But for those who can give it a cool minute longer, they realise what opportunities can now say yes to because of it, that they would have otherwise had to decline due to the wrong commitments.

Just a cool…minute…longer.
