Understanding Cause and Effect Time Frames

Many people fail to understand that today's results do not come from today's actions. The memory of actions we take today fades over time, but the results of those actions come later in the future, often months or years down the line. This lack of understanding causes frustration and confusion when people do not see immediate results. Entrepreneurs specifically struggle with this concept because they expect quick rewards for their efforts. They get disheartened when they do not see immediate results and start jumping from one strategy to another. However, great results in business and life come from sustained hard work over a long period of time.
