Great Results Need Patience, Not Perfect Timelines
Maybe I'm just slow. But a bit of founder wisdom I've really learned these past 3 years: Every successful company initiative we've done...it takes 3-6 months longer than I predicted it would take. Often, as a founder I can accurately predict the results within 25% of the outcome. I feel I have a decent ish hit rate predicting what will succeed. But I am almost always DRASTICALLY off on the timeline. We're just now seeing AMAZING results on changes we made roughly 12 months ago. I thought those results were going to come nine months ago. It sucks. But everything takes longer than the founder wants it to. But if you build a good company, the results do come, and you start seeing exponential growth and results. Even simple stuff. Referral programs, paid ads, marketing angles. Whatever. Things I thought would not take a long time to master. Takes forever to get everyone bought in, rowing in the right direction. Being patient for results, constantly improving every single week. Sort of like losing weight. You see results, but not amazing results, but after doing it consistently for six months, everyone has that time where they look in the mirror and they're like, "Holy shit, I'm fit now. It worked." And the worst part about all this is that it took me 15 years to learn. I'm an idiot for not figuring this out sooner. Cost me so much time and money
