Delaying gratification in business is key to achieving long-term success. Just like the famous Marshmallow Test, where children who delayed eating a marshmallow ended up having better outcomes in life, entrepreneurs who are willing to delay immediate profits and focus on building trust, brand awareness, and a loyal customer base are more likely to succeed. This means working hard, being frugal, and reinvesting profits back into the business. Companies like Amazon have demonstrated the power of delayed gratification, sacrificing short-term profits for long-term success.
