“Nobody wants to get rich slow”

“Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”

Warren Buffett

Also, upon being asked: “You’re one of the richest people in the world, and how you explain what you do, it’s so simple. Why doesn’t everyone just copy you?”, Warren Buffett answered:

“Because nobody wants to get rich slow”

Today, clearly, I want to anchor on the power of being patient, on building the core foundations at “source” that will drive the “outcomes” you are seeking.

I’ll also close with a special announcement on something new and “rich” that has emerged from the slow and steady build indicated by the image above.

I’ll use the phrase “rich”, though this will mean different things to different people. Yes, we all need a certain amount of money, but using another definition of “rich”, for me a key element is in learning, sharing, doing my part to make a difference for others.

So what is the image above about? Well, approaching three years ago I decided to write every day on this site. I certainly didn’t do it to “get rich”, I did it because I love to share what I learn.

The “source”, the foundation, was to listen, read and learn, then share. The “outcome”? Well, they have been many and indeed “rich”…
