Send us a text

In this episode, John Laurito shares the life lessons from the Chinese bamboo tree story. In a nutshell, for anyone who doesn't know, a Chinese bamboo doesn't grow until after five years. From then on, it grows to about 90 feet tall in just a few weeks. It's much like life or business, wherein success doesn't come overnight. The problem with some entrepreneurs is that they have a false perception that others generate great results overnight. What others don't see is the effort that goes into, time spent in, and the patience that comes with building the business. Tune in to know how this lesson ties into being a leader in an organization.
