Be Aggressive & Patient

The actions you take today are not going to materialize the life you have tomorrow.

Your biggest goals in life will take time.

Be patient.

While 5, 10, and 20 years down the road may seem like a long time...

It will go in the blink of an eye.

Not only that...

But your daily actions over the course of that 5, 10, or 20 year period will have a direct impact on the life you build and whether or not you reach your goals.

Which means regardless of how long it will actually take for you to reach your goals...

You have to keep showing up and executing at the highest level possible every single day.

Be aggressive.

Maintaining a high level of urgency with an understanding that success will still take time is a skill I've come to call "Aggressive Patience."

...and it's one of the single most important skills you can develop for high levels of achievement in any area.

Ditch the expectation that anything worthwhile will come fast or easy to you.

This falsehood is what keeps most people from becoming truly great because they get themselves stuck in a constant cycle of quitting and starting from scratch every 2-3 years when they aren't where they want to be.

Instead of falling victim to the same fate...

Train yourself to master the skill of aggressive patience by operating with a high sense of urgency every day and allowing enough time for your goals to come to fruition.

Anything less ... and you're guaranteed nothing.
