Gary Vaynerchuk’s Post

The number 1 thing holding many ambitious people back in their careers… is lack of patience. What I wish more people understood is that patience doesn’t compromise ambition - in fact, it actually enhances the likelihood that you’ll get to where you need to go. Your ambition should push you to play the game and strive for more without losing sleep or sacrificing your well-being. This is especially important for those of us with real entrepreneurial DNA. It makes me sad to see so many people who fail to balance their ambition with patience. If more of you truly understood that you really do have time, you’d realize that being patient and going at your own pace doesn’t make you any less “hungry.” It makes you smart. And ironically, it speeds up the process of you building meaningful.
