When a sculptor is working on his next marble bust, he understands that not every chip of stone he knocks away is the final finishing blow. Each swing of the hammer brings him closer to his goal. Patiently, day after day, he sits and eventually achieves his goal of creating a masterpiece.
If a profitable business or an industry-shifting invention or building an audience on social media is your masterpiece, patiently work.
It’s so difficult to avoid the trap of a bad client, a bad setback, or a bad piece of content you made. Maybe you haven’t made anything that is “bad” but your stuff that isn’t picking up traction as quickly as you would like. Your business isn't growing as fast as you want. Try to remember the sculptor who is chipping away. You’re still chipping away.
Don’t lose motivation and don’t be distraught. Keep working and refine your skills and your process. The breakthrough is coming.
