When my family visited Japan and needed to get from Osaka to Kyoto, there were 2 options for the train:

​

(Don't worry, this isn't a math word problem from back in school).

​

• For $4 USD, we could get there in 26 minutes on a regular train
• For $21 USD, we could get there in 13 minutes on the bullet train

​

We took the slower train (especially with 7 of us), but fast is nice, right? And people will pay more for fast.

​

As online entrepreneurs, that often means paying for ads instead of building an organic audience.

​

If you're like me and don't have the money or don't want to pay for ads - it almost always feels like things are taking too long.

​

(Especially if you constantly see ads from your competitors). 🙄

​

When things feel like they are taking too long here's what I do...

​

I slow down.

​

Slow down and think about the things that have gone well.

​

When I started my YouTube channel I initially focused on my low subscriber count...

​

...but when I slowed down and looked for other things going well I realized I got my first client 11 days after launching, and booked multiple speaking gigs in the first 2 months.

​

Yesterday Doug (a guy I'm in a community with) shared his audience isn't gigantic but his YouTube channel is giving him amazing travel opportunities and brand deals.

​

At least once a week, slow down and think about the things that are going well. And you don't have to do it during "working" hours, it can be while you drive, walk, workout, fall asleep - anytime.

​

When you focus on the things going well, everything feels faster - because it is.

PS - Podcasting one of those "slow-in-the-beginning-with-a-huge-payoff-later" kind of assets...

...and I've been showing our clients how to create a show that grows your audience and generates leads in about an hour per week.

Next week I'm releasing a new training on how to do it and it will be free (at least at first) so if you're interested, watch your inbox for the release.
