Hi everybody.

I’ve been working hard these past few months trying to get all the nuts and bolts nailed down over on ResortEntreprenuers.com since I relaunched the site at the start of the year. Part of that relaunch entails creating content that translates across all platforms.

So, one of the things I want to do is re-purpose some of the content that shows up in written form on the website and/or via email and put it into this podcast because I know people like to consume content in different ways. Most notably, I plan to create a weekly perspective on entrepreneurship that is equally suited for listening on a relaxing walk around the neighborhood or during a long drive into town.

So, with that said today, today’s perspective is on being a SPEED DEMON – or not. I’m sure it’s something we can all relate to.  I hope you enjoy it. Let’s get started.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the whole speed narrative  that’s dominated startup life for the past two decades and how this  do-it-now-or-die approach needs to be challenged more. You’ve heard the  mantras: “the need for speed” … “move fast and break things” … “iterate,  iterate, iterate.”  Being a speed demon is at the heart of the lean and  mean startup philosophy, and understandable so because you test fast,  learn fast, fail fast and then can change course fast.

But what if, to our own detriment, we’ve allowed these speed mantras  to be etched into our business brains without enough consideration.  Perhaps some of us should embrace a slower, more organic path and  actually enjoy the process of building a business from the ground up.  Honestly, I’m not falling for the speed trap any longer. I want to win  the race at my own pace.

I am the tortoise. Coo-coo-ca-choo.
