Entrepreneurs should focus on a gradual
climb to success.
Although
Richard Branson admits to being a big fan of the elevator pitch, he thinks
it’s also important to take the stairs -- literally.
The
outgoing Virgin founder believes that taking the stairs whenever you can is a
great way to exercise, especially if you’re busy working all day. In a recent blog post, Branson not only addresses the importance of
physically taking the stairs, but finds that an “entrepreneur is essentially
taking the stairs every day of their career.”
As
most of us know -- entrepreneurship takes
time. Branson calls it a “gradual climb,” with “inevitable failures and setbacks along the
way.” Very few entrepreneurs can take the elevator to instant success, he
writes.
Take
the slower route. You’ll be able to learn from your experience and better
prepare yourself for a future of success, Branson advises. “Rather than getting
to the top without the experience, you will have years of experience, failure, learnings --
climbing stairs -- to fall back on.”
