Impatience is easy. You’ve been in business for three years and you have yet to make a million dollars. To have 10 clients a week. To book a celebrity wedding. To afford a three-month European tour from your earnings.
Impatience is easy. You don’t have the right clients. The right branding. The right website, blog, blog-site, mobile site, Facebook page, or social media connectivity.
Impatience is easy. You need to learn more, and faster. You should be further along by now. You should know how to baby-whisper newborns, make acne-ridden Seniors looks like fashion models, and fool the eye into thinking the size 24 bride is a size 4. You should be able to work magic. And land magazine covers in your sleep.
Except…you’re doing the best you can. You’re learning and growing. You’re adapting to the needs of the market, honing your craft, and navigating the sometimes-terrifying world of being an entrepreneur the best way you know how.
So cut yourself some slack.
When you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, with miles to go…enjoy the view.

I. LOVE. Your blog.
It’s like you are reading my mind…thanks so much for this post!
you kinda freak me out. the number of times that your posts weed through all the stuff in my head and pull out the thing that resonates so deeply is just plain weird. thank you.
Ditto to jasonschafer’s comment. you are a strange beast…. like you have magic powers or something?
Coming to this late, but … you always seem to say what I’m thinking.
