Slow and steady wins the race
When working toward long-term goals
Understanding the Rule
Consistent, sustained effort beats sporadic bursts of activity. Like the tortoise beating the hare, reliability and persistence often triumph over talent without discipline.
What Happens When You Break It
Inconsistent effort leads to incomplete projects, unrealized potential, burnout from unsustainable pace, and being overtaken by those with greater persistence.
Benefits of Following This Rule
Steady effort builds momentum, creates compound results, develops mastery, completes projects, outlasts competition, and achieves lasting success.
