Yes, I recognize the points — Persistence / Follow-through & “good enough” are good maxims for a lot of life. I’m just leary of making them the only ways to succeed — in business or anything else. They are heuristics, not laws. I guess this comes out of my gut reaction to “the fast eat the slow.” I immediately started trying to think of examples of slow and steady winning the race.

Thanks for commenting & making the connections. I’ll keep thinking about your point.

He wrote another book about speed in business called “It’s not the big that eat the small, it’s the fast that eat the slow”. In it, he claims that speed is the ultimate customer turn on. And the biggest lesson in speed is “Don’t obssess about perfection. Good enough is good enough.” Sounds like your intro doesn’t it?
