Speed is the name of the corporate game.
But speed doesn’t always mean fast.
Some things simply get better over time.
Art.
Fine wines.
Friendships.
Memorable Stories.
I once heard Bill Simmons talk about the power of slow-cooked storytelling.
How there were major benefits for giving a story the time it needed to breathe and blossom.
Ideas are in the same camp.
Ideas often improve after being shared, challenged and refined.
So which ASAP works best for you?
As Soon As Possible?
As Slow As Possible?
There is something happening in your life right now that you are rushing.
Somewhere, someone is pressing you for an ASAP answer.
Perhaps that is the place where you need to summon the courage to slow down and say “No.”
As you think about your life or business, ask yourself:
1. Where do you need to activate as soon as possible?
2.Where do you need to activate as slow as possible?
Life is a blend game.
Where to say yes.
Where to say not yet.
Some things lose value with age.
The right things gain flavor, character and worth.
Choose wisely.
