The Fast Lane: Mastering Speed in Business and Life

In this 250th Episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, Adam and I talk about Mastering Speed in Business and Life.

Speed....it can help and it can hinder.

Act too quickly, and you can make costly mistakes.

Act too slowly, and you can miss opportunities.

The reality is that we live in a fast-paced world and have a ton of things going on in our lives. There is little time to stop and take a breath, and when you do, the little cell phone demon in our hand calls to us and beckons us to Doom Scroll. Yes, the struggle of our modern world is real.

While many of us understand that, there is the other side of that coin. Homesteading and moving to the country to start a "simple life" sounds fantastic. Leaving the sirens and hustle of the bustle of the city creates peace and tranquility. However, for some of us, the silence and quiet life drains us. The silence becomes VERY, VERY loud as we need to confront the our shadow. There might be little or no escape! Ask me how I know.....

It always comes back to balance. We need to move fast enough to accomplish goals, tasks and objectives, but we need to slow down and smell the flowers, tend to our gardens, feed the birds and spend some time with family, friends, pets and livestock.

After all, those tomatoes aren't going to grow themselves, and the deer sheds aren't going to find themselves.

Adam and I are going to talk about things we can do to master speed in business and life. For some of us, we want to move faster to get more. For others like me, I want to slow down, savor and enjoy each moment, each monarch butterfly, hummingbird and oriole visiting The Landing.

It all comes back to balance.

As always, remember to learn, do, grow and be a little better everyday. And that’s a good thing!
