Money Loves Speed

When it comes to my business, I like to do things the speedy way.

Maybe I’m just a high-strung Type A, but I don’t like waiting around for the things I want in my life.

How about you? Are you more of the mindset “faster action means quicker results” or “slow and steady wins the race”?

Some things in business naturally progress at a slower rate, such as growing your subscriber list or building a social media following.

But there’s one aspect of business that waits for no one: MONEY!

What I mean is that money loves speed, and the faster you move on a potential income-generating idea, the better.

Here’s a story from one of the (many) mistakes I made when I was starting a business.

As a former book editor, I have a systematic, methodical, slightly anal way of thinking. My work is extremely detail oriented, and I get a high from breaking things down into the easiest steps possible.

I had been dreaming about rebranding my struggling life coaching business for months, and I wanted to stop trying to appeal to everyone and instead focus on attracting other Type A peeps like me…or Life Editors, as I like to call ’em.

But I was scared!

What if no one liked my new branding? What if they just didn’t get it? What if I failed?

(PS, if you fear failing, then watch “What to do When You’re Scared Out of Your Mind,” a free video on the Startup In 60 sales page.)

So I dragged my feet like a slowpoke turtle for 6 months, and in the meantime, I earned maybe $500. The message was loud and clear: money hates stalling.

Finally, I got off my butt (with the help of my life coach) and rebranded my entire business to be the Life Editor. Everything was updated in a matter of days, and there was no looking back.

Zip zip zip!

The month before I rebranded, I earned a grand total of $12 from one ebook sale. So embarrassing! But the month after I rebranded, I earned nearly $2000.

I learned my lesson, and now I charge forward with all my next action steps.

Money loves speed! Grab your sneakers ‘cuz it’s time to run!
