Dangers of Instant Gratification for Entrepreneurs
Updated: Jan 28, 2021
I have a problem.
I have a client that needs a significant amount graphic design work done in his company. I recently changed my business model so that I can focus on launching the service I’m really passionate about (one-on-one strategy sessions with entrepreneurs).
I know how to get this clients’ work done with my eyes closed. I’ve done it for years. It’s going to take time, though. It's not easy, but I can make it happen.
Here’s my problem: Do I sacrifice spending time on the business I’m passionate about, in exchange for instant gratification of money?
I asked my right-hand person and she said that we’re on a mission to focus on ONE THING, and everything else can wait.
There’s a danger, as business owners, of grabbing instant business today at the expense of what we’re trying to build for tomorrow.
Yes, I can do graphic design.
But that will come at the expense of helping another entrepreneur start their business, realize their God potential, and change the world with their gifts and talents.
Let’s not sacrifice our GOD’S VISION for instant gratification.
