Why slow progress is your edge.
At last week’s quarterly strategy meeting with Shivani, a question surfaced:
“Why are things taking so long to close?”
It wasn’t just about timelines or deals. It revealed something deeper: discomfort + impatience with invisible progress.
We are wired for speed.
– 15-min grocery deliveries.
– 1-day prime deliveries.
– 15-second reels.
– 30-second shorts.
– Instant likes, Instant answers.
We crave fast wins. Daily dopamine. Constant signals.
So when things get quiet, we panic.
When results take time, we assume failure.
We mistake delayed for derailed.
When was the last time you quit because results weren’t instant?
Impatience is disguised entitlement. You don’t just deserve results. You earn them over time.
Entrepreneurship doesn’t care about your expectations.
It’s not about weeks. Or quarters.
It’s about years, sometimes decades, of brick-laying before the structure shows.
You pivot. You stall. You realign. You repeat.
Success comes brick by boring brick.
– Da Vinci took years perfecting Mona Lisa’s smile.
– Warren Buffett built compounding into an empire quietly over decades.
– Kaizen reshaped industries by 1% improvement at a time.
– MrBeast made 100+ videos before anyone cared and kept going.
The pattern?
Small, right actions. Repeated. Relentlessly.
If you come from a corporate background, this feels alien. I understand it. I have lived that shift firsthand.
In a job:
- Effort = Praise
- Targets = Rewards
- KPIs = Promotion
But in entrepreneurship?
You show up. You work. Nothing happens.
No dashboards. No likes. No ‘great job’. Just silence.
And in that silence, most people give up.
Not because they’re weak but because they weren’t trained to keep going without feedback.
At IntuiWell, we embrace this slow burn.
- You only focus on small, meaningful shifts.
- We silently track your progress in the background.
- If a path is blocked, we help you redirect.
- If you drift, we realign you.
You act. We align.
Together, we move brick by boring brick until the results show.
Most people chase sparks. We build slow fires.
That’s why our clients transform quietly, surely, permanently.
