Itβs easy to make short term choices that deliver quick results.
Itβs harder to commit to longer term ventures that produce steady outcomes with manageable risk and suitable ongoing rewards.
There are three hallmarks of a great investment that creates wealth β superior returns, low risk, and long duration.
Although short term opportunities command immediate attention, savvy leaders understand the power of consistency, compounding, and incremental return on good daily habits and decisionmaking.
We are what we repeatedly do!
You may prefer a quick win today but most healthy and wealthy people I know play the long game.
Ditch your sprint. Prepare, practice, and enjoy winning a marathon.π₯
