85. Doing the Right Thing Until It Works
About this episode
John Haskell discusses the challenges of slow starts and the importance of persistence in achieving long-term success in business.
In this episode, host John Haskell speaks to people navigating slow starts, tight margins, and the frustration that comes when progress is not immediately visible. He explains why doing the right things often feels unrewarding early on, even when those decisions are setting the foundation for long-term success. John emphasizes the importance of having a clear plan, measuring progress along the way, and staying disciplined long enough to build momentum. Drawing on lessons from Bud Williams, he reminds listeners that success rarely comes from quick fixes, but from consistently doing the right thing until it works and knowing when persistence is required versus when a strategy truly needs to change.
