If patience is a virtue, then urgency is divine. You want to move with speed and urgency in your business — and your life. You won’t get big if you don’t move fast. Alexander the Great and Ghengis Khan knew this, so they built armies for speed and mobility. Speed is power. There is a direct relationship between time and money, that’s why I’m in a hurry.
