Building a startup is like nurturing a pistachio tree. You can’t rush it to bear fruit before it’s ready. Pistachio trees need years of care, attention, and patience before they start producing, but when they do, the reward is worth the wait.
Many founders fall into the trap of chasing early profits, trying to force their startup to grow too fast. While it may look promising at first, just like overwatering a young tree, pushing too hard too soon can lead to failure. Shortcuts weaken the roots of your business, and that quick win can turn into long-term loss.
Startups need the space to innovate and develop strong roots. The pressure to show fast results often stifles creativity and causes you to lose sight of the bigger picture. True success lies in building sustainable growth—something that can’t be rushed.
