Many entrepreneurs start the year expecting immediate traction. New goals are set, changes are made, and results are hoped for quickly.
The harder truth is that meaningful progress often lags behind effort. Early in the year, leaders can mistake this natural delay for failure and begin changing direction too soon.
Strong leadership at this time of year requires patience and consistency, especially when early wins are not visible yet. Staying the course, reinforcing expectations, and giving initiatives enough time to take hold is often what separates real progress from constant restart mode.
Strong businesses are rarely built on urgency alone. They are built on persistence.
