What if you just need more time

Right, It’s been a busy week, let’s get straight into it…

The number of times I’ve taken a step back, and wondered ‘is this even the right path to where I want to be?’ - and considering you’re seeing this, it’s likely you have too.

But what about this for a consideration…

What if, this path your on IS the right path, it IS working and you ARE making progress towards your goal, you simply haven’t given it enough time.

Years ago, my brother asked for my suggestions on what TV show to watch, and this was back in the day when Breaking Bad was the #1 show, so I suggested it.

He watched 30 minutes, turned it off and told me it was boring.

Me then somewhat confused: ‘Excuse me… you watched the first 20 minutes and turned it off, you haven’t even given it chance to do something yet’

This sounds stupid, because it is, but what if this is what you’re doing with your new ideas.

Breaking bad is 2930 minutes wrong, and my brother watched 30, so that’s exactly 1%.

What if your new idea only got 1% of the time it takes, or even more likely, 10-20% of the time it takes?

1% of a 10 year journey is 35 days, so if you’ve ever quit something that was a true life change like a business, YouTube channel, Fitness goal etc, your version of 30 minutes is 35 days.

I’ve been running Murgs for 8 years, and been full time since August 2022, but what if I’m only 40% into my journey, what if this right now is the smallest the brand will be ever again, yet the only thing in-between me and my dream outcome is time?

And let’s be honest, even if you start a business that doesn’t end up being ‘the one’ (like everyone does by the way), you just get to learn the skills to make sure attempt 2 if even better.

Summary: This is a marathon not a sprint. Working on a new idea for 35 days is the equivalent of watching 30 minutes of breaking bad to make an assessment.

Give something enough of a chance to see how it turns out.

Anyway, that’s all for now, it’s time to get back to work,
