Rome wasn’t built in a day. The tortoise beats the hare. More haste, less speed.  

We’ve heard the adages. And we know why they’re used. We know that behind every overnight success is years of hard work. But that doesn’t stop us being fascinated by them.  

Whether it’s a singer, a new app, a sports team or a start-up, we can all think of sudden stratospheric rises. They’re exciting, they’re inspiring and we want to know the secrets behind them.  

But once the smoke clears and the spotlight has faded, we’re left with another question - how do you make that success last? To ensure that flurries of excitement don’t turn into passing fads – and fuzzy memories. That quick wins turn into continual wins. That overnight success becomes lasting impact.
