Success takes time
We live in the now culture: We expect our online order to be delivered within a day. We know within minutes what events are taking place. We expect instant answers to our questions.
When it comes to success, people assume that they can reach it the same way, then get unhappy if it doesn't. However, success is not meant to be instant.

The cost of overnight success
Success that happens faster than your personal and professional growth won't be sustainable because you won't be in the position to deal with that success. Look at lottery winners. Studies show that 70% of them end up broke within seven years because they could not handle billions of dollars.
For success to be sustainable, you need to become the person who can handle success—for example, rubbing shoulders with other successful people, public speaking, leadership skills, overcoming your fears.

Becoming the person you need to be
Personal and professional growth is as important as the ability to build a business. You should always grow as an individual otherwise your business will stagnate or regress.
Find a coach or mentor to help set some goals for personal and professional growth. Consider the following areas:
- Interpersonal skills: Basic communication, dealing with conflict, or negotiation skills.
- Leadership training: Decision-making, learning how to mentor and teach others, delegation skills, public speaking, risk-assessment.
- Strengthening mindset: Releasing beliefs that hold you back.
- Life balance.
