Mindful Success: The Ancient Wisdom is still working today!

Mindful Success

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope you are doing amazing in your corner of the World! Let’s breathe and smile.

When I was growing up, I used to hear things from my grandma that are still very applicable to any successful business. And one of them I’d like to share with you today.

She said, “Greedy man is paying twice, and lazy man is doing twice.”

It was a nice catch phrase for a long while, until I got into my own business. How true this statement is! When I was getting busy, I would still try to do everything that was necessary, and sometimes I would cut some corners. You know what? Eventually I had to pay more for my own laziness in one form or another. I would either have to hire somebody to do it right, or spend more time because the first time it was a waste. In some cases I had to buy a completely new equipment because I failed to conduct sufficient research about what I needed. And so on.

Now, as I am studying a free enterprise system, I was listening to my business coach, and this topic came up again. He said, and I quote, “It looks like we never have time to do things right in the first place, but we always find time to redo.” Isn’t that true?

He also said, “If you want to speed up your business growth, you need to slow down.” And he has nothing to do with Zen or with Mindfulness. He is a very successful business man. But idea’s very similar: focus, take one step at a time, don’t cut corners, don’t skip steps. If we spend sufficient time to do right things right way, we reach our goals much faster.
How I know? I’ve done things wrong way enough times to prove the concept.
Think about that.

Thanks for stopping by.
