  Personally, I love this post. So true, so well said, and really rather inspiring to know that there are others out there on a day to day dealing-with-crap basis. I will be patient. Thanks for the reminder Steve... Funny how little things like patience are so important, but so quick to be the first qualities to go when the going gets tough.

  Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words.
  
  I agree too, it's really funny how patience is the first thing to go when the chips are down.

  I learned patience by gardening. Watching a tomato plant go from a small stalk to a bush takes about 2 months. Each day I will go outside take a look and see a new flower, another small green tomato. Of course I can walk down to the store and buy a tomato, it isn't the tomato that is most important to me. It is taking a minute each day to meditate on "growth".
  
  I understand that patience is the key to reaching my goals. And that each step along the way needs care and tending to reach the next plateau.
  
  Great post steve.:O)

  Ofcourse the key to success in this business is patience, everybody here did there time. Nobody made money in Month 1 2, 3 or even month 4. And when you get to month 4 it won't be more then couple of dollars a day. Some people need more time then other people I was one of these people. I just didn't get it, this whole link seo thing. I stayed working without making 1 dollar for a whole year, be patient and you will get to the top of the mountain.

  When my wife and me went to live to Israel the first word we learned was "sablanut", patient; this helped us a lot because it was no easy the change of country (we are from Mexico), language, food, etc.
  Since then I tried to remember this word each day.

  I am so ashamed. With so much to read, watch, and listen to, once I read the first line "Learn to be patient." I felt it summarized the article nicely enough, and didn't read another word.
  
  Great article!
