Not the prettiest answer you want to hear. But for me, I believe that being "patient" is garbage. That doesn't mean I don't recognize the fact that success in any area of life takes time. However, goals that can are in your control and can be hit based on your actions. I don't see any excuses why you can't build that 6 figure business in 6 months instead of 12 months if you put in 12 hr days and not 6. The key is not to be patient... it's about AGGRESSIVE patience.
