As entrepreneurs, we often feel we’re this close to a breakthrough.

That drive can be a powerful strength, but it can also create a lot of anxiety, keeping us in a state of constant urgency. Over time, it’s just not sustainable. Success requires belief, but it also requires patience.

The truth is, many “overnight successes” are the result of years of hard work finally paying off.

Shift to a longer-term mindset. It will help you prioritize the right work and better manage the inevitable highs and lows of entrepreneurship.
