1 – Ferris Wheel

2 Comments »

Imagine life is a Ferris Wheel.

However, you get ‘paid’ only after it goes around.

Whatever you load onto the Wheel will be profitable only after the wheel has gone round.

People, after doing some work or expending some effort, step back and expect immediate results.
In some things, your Wheel is small and results come ‘quickly’.
A manual laborer gets paid at the end of the same day.

But what about those things that never seem to pay off?
That’s where you have to imagine a ‘larger’ Ferris Wheel.

Most times you don’t get results with the first phone call, the first visit or the first interaction
That’s when to keep feeding the Wheel!
No results ‘today’ proves you didn’t feed the Wheel ‘yesterday’.
Don’t use ‘no results’ as the reason to not feed it today.
That’s self-fulfilling:
Because I didn’t feed the wheel yesterday I have no results today.
Because I have no results today why bother to feed the wheel.
Feed your Wheel!
