Summary: Balancing Quick Wins and Long-Term Growth Deborah and Greg discuss the balance between pursuing quick wins and steady long-term growth in business and life. They emphasize the importance of developing a consistent process, being diligent, and trusting the process rather than chasing overnight success. They use examples from sports and business to illustrate how steady progress often leads to more sustainable success than trying to score big wins all the time. The conversation highlights the value of experience and skills gained over time, especially for those in mid-career or at the “halftime” of life. They advise listeners to develop a plan for reasonable growth, stick to it, and not get distracted by the allure of instant success stories often seen on social media.
