Long Term Over EVERYTHING

Summary

• Keep long-term goals at the forefront and don't sacrifice them for short-term gains.
• Learn from those around you who have strengths in areas you may not; for me, that's Leila's long-term thinking.
• Balance is crucial; my tendency to move fast and break things complements Leila’s focus on preserving our reputation and ensuring customer satisfaction.
• Getting your product or service out there is important, but it should not be rushed to the detriment of quality.
• Strive for excellence in customer experiences, as it protects your reputation and fosters positive word-of-mouth.
• Be willing to release your work even if it's not perfect, but don't compromise the fundamental values that drive long-term success.

How To Take Action

I would suggest keeping your eyes on the big picture. Always ask yourself, will this help my long-term goals? If not, don't do it, even if it seems like a fast way to make money now.

I’d say learn from people who think differently from you. If you're like me and want to move quickly, find someone who checks your speed to make sure you're not hurting your business in the long run. For example, I learned to focus on long-term goals from Leila, who's great at this.

Balance is key. If you're quick to act, work with someone who thinks about quality and customer happiness. They can help you avoid mistakes that could ruin your business's good name.

Don’t rush your product or service. Make sure it’s good before sending it out, but remember, it doesn't have to be perfect. Just don't mess with the core values that make your business strong for years, not just today.

Focus on making your customers super happy. When they have a great experience, they'll tell others. This word-of-mouth is like free advertising, but so much better because it's trusted.

Finally, it’s okay to launch your work when it’s not perfect. Perfection can stop you from getting valuable feedback. Just make sure it's good enough to not harm your values and what your business stands for.
