We all want success fast. How can I make a million dollars in a year? How can I lose weight in six weeks?
You can make a million dollars pretty easily if you’re willing to smuggle drugs. You can lose all the weight in six weeks by adopting weight loss drugs and unhealthy methods to drop weight fast.
You can also build a business surprisingly fast on the back of ripping people off and alienating all your friends in the process.
But isn’t this the balancing act we all need to walk? The ethical yet effective way to achieve what we want as quickly as possible.
Short-term fixes are usually pretty easy. But they rarely lead to long-term success. I firmly believe this applies in business, relationships, health, personal development, and everywhere else.
