Most of us who enter the entrepreneurial life (sound like a religious experience when you put it that way—well, it IS a calling!) are doing so because we’ve got the energy and desire to take the wheel in our careers and get where we’re going now. So, here comes a post about. . . . .slowing down.
Have you ever been en route somewhere, making good time and suddenly you find yourself at the end of the world’s longest vehicular conga line? We’ve all been there.
The first five minutes go pretty well, but after that, it’s fairly normal for the nervous twitches to start: look at the watch, stare out the window at the side of a factory building or the superstructure of the bridge you’re on, then comes a mild invective under your breath, radio gets turned on, only to tell you that a truck spilled something really messy on the road you’re on, which prompts some muttering, followed by another look at the watch, the radio going back on, and at some point, some genuine, audible curse words….
Well, I’ve been realizing it’s all about as helpful as wishing you were dry while you’re standing in the ocean. Face it—you’re going to need a towel at some point.
I try to look at the unexpected delays that try to poison your entrepreneurial plan of productivity as timeouts. A little breather on the sidelines to think about the next play, or just a time to pat yourself on the 
back for the last business touchdown or bit of career progress, no matter how small. Just like the traffic situation just beyond your windshield, you should be thankful for even the merest movement forward.
It’s also a time to resolve to keep our cars within speed limits. Remember: It’s carrying pretty important cargo, and there are so many tragedies that occur on our roads because somebody thought they were losing a race against the clock.
So be safe and happy. That’s the fastest way to the success you’re planning on.
