slow and steady

Business is good for relationships, or at least in some way. Business takes time and working with someone, in a partnership or any collaboration, involves patience while you learn to understand each other and the objectives of the task. Sometimes clients are in a great rush and sometimes suppliers are in a great rush, with deadlines and economic realities impacting on the process of writing or designing or building or whatever.

However good business requires that we respect deadlines, even while resisting the compelling urge to take short-cuts, accept answers at face value, assume that we can speed things up.

Relationships and business are about taking and making best use of time. It is a non-renewable resource and absolutely irreplaceable.
