The $83 book that changed my view on business growth

Most founders want results tomorrow.

I just paid $83 for a book that taught me the exact opposite.

Charlie Munger's 'Worldly Wisdom' contains just three speeches. But these speeches contain decades of insights that most people miss while chasing quick wins…

The biggest lesson from both Munger and Warren Buffett stares at me every day - literally. I have bronze busts of both of them in my office to remind me of one core truth:

Unreasonable patience creates unreasonable results.

In our 20s, we're wired to chase instant gratification. We want growth today. Revenue tomorrow. Exit next week…

But nature doesn't work that way.

Trees don't grow overnight. Compound interest doesn't explode in a month.

Real wealth isn't built in a quarter…

The secret?

Find a game you genuinely enjoy playing. Then play it for a very long time.

This applies directly to leadership too. The "hire a CEO and disappear to a beach" fantasy? Pure Silicon Valley mythology.

The best results come from staying close to your business. Yes, hire that CEO - but stay involved. Keep your finger on the pulse. Maintain your edge.

Speaking of maintaining edge while playing the long game...

We've developed something special for founders ready to embrace strategic patience: A free 2025 growth marketing plan that focuses on sustainable, compounding growth rather than quick fixes.

This isn't about hacks or shortcuts. It's about building systems that create lasting value - exactly what Munger and Buffett would approve of.

P.S. Those bronze busts? Best investment in daily reminders I've ever made.
