"Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid only of standing still" -- Chinese proverb . Just like in the story of the boy who started out with a penny and it was important to differentiate between something small as in a penny and nothing at all, in this article do not mistake 'slow' with 'stopped'. Have you ever taken a few days off from your home business online opportunity only to find it took you some time to get back into the swing of things again? This is caused by a lack of or a break in momentum. Remember the Slight Edge is taking steps consistently. It is not the number of steps that is important it is the consistency of them which keeps the momentum going in your Internet marketing promotion. Like in the well known story of the tortoise and the hare, we all know the moral of the story - slow and steady wins the race. It is steady though that is the most important concept. Once in motion it requires less energy to remain in motion that the stop start effort that may put in equal or more work but has lost the value of momentum. Putting in huge amounts of effort on a Monday will not be of any great value if you take the rest of the week off and allow the business to look after itself. Similarly exercising for four hours one day a week and doing nothing for the rest of the week would not produce results, just tired sore muscles on that one day. Doing something once a week makes it more likely that you will forget to do it as you will not establish a routine. By doing the task daily it becomes part of your routine. It begins to fit in with your life. Impatience and trying to get things done quicker will not influence your results. The Slight Edge has its own optimal speed and this cannot be changed. By following your own Slight Edge strategy, you will naturally match the optimal speed of the Slight Edge. It is like cycling up a hill, keep going and you are fine, stop and you will find it very hard to get going again.
