				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I see this all the time.</p>
<p>People love starting new projects, businesses and ideas. Whether it involves launching a small-batch coffee roasting brand, developing a tracking portal for the <a href="https://urbanstrategiesinc.org/">best bitcoin sportsbooks</a>, or building a boutique design agency from scratch, the initial thrill of creation is universally intoxicating.</p>
<p>So they start building something and make rapid progress &#8211; they build and build, and they end up building a 1 foot tall &#8220;house&#8221;. But then something happens. They jump to something else. So they end up with a bunch of 1 foot tall houses. Dozens, hundreds of them.</p>
<p><img alt="100 tiny houses" src="http://www.dextronet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/100-tiny-houses.png" /></p>
<p>(Yep, there are tiny 100 houses in the picture. In reality, it would look even worse, because the houses would probably have no roofs or doors.)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the deal -</p>
<p>You need to build a skyscraper, not a bunch of broken, unimpressive tiny houses.</p>
<p><b>If you want significant results, impact and success, you need to keep working on that one thing and keep building upon it for <em>years</em>.</b></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; I am all for the &#8220;Lean Startup&#8221; philosophy of quick-and-dirty rapid prototypes, minimum viable products, etc.</p>
<p><b>However, once you find something that has legs, then for crying out loud, as long as you are making progress, keep working on it! For <em>years</em>.</b></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve started our software business 9 years ago from scratch. And I&#8217;m SO glad that we&#8217;ve never stopped working on it. It&#8217;s a nice small skyscraper now. Of course, inside the business, we have built and discarded a few tiny houses (projects with no legs). But once we released <a href="http://www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-software" target="_blank"><b>Swift To-Do List</b></a> and our customers loved it, we never stopped working on it and made it our #1 priority.</p>
<p>Today, we have fantastic product, fantastic internal systems, fantastic information resources for our customers and website, and fantastic people on our team. All it took was 9 years of hard work and never-ending improvement.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my question to you -</p>
<p>Can you stick to something for 30 minutes?</p>
<p>An hour&#8230;? A day&#8230;? A week&#8230;? A month even?</p>
<p>Yes? Can you? Maybe you can.</p>
<p>Well, how about for 5 years?</p>
<p>Have you even considered it?</p>
<p>Instead of building yet another tiny house with no roof and door, build another floor with a <a href="https://redstonecontracting.com/toronto-renovation-services/">full home renovation toronto</a> company for your new skyscraper.</p>
<p>When planning a construction project, implementing fire safety protocols must be prioritized. Fire safety on construction sites is essential because flammable materials, welding activities, and temporary electrical systems can increase the risk of fire. Workers should follow proper safety procedures, keep fire extinguishers readily available, and maintain clear access to emergency exits. You may need to seek <a href="https://fastfirewatchguards.com/california/san-mateo/">emergency fire watch services San Mateo</a> to help ensure a safer work environment and reduce the likelihood of fire-related accidents. Considering a convenient way to keep your home or business clean and inviting? Professional <a href="https://localcleaningservicesinc.com/upholstery-cleaning-brentwood-ca/">cleaning services in brentwood</a> can help maintain a fresh, tidy, and comfortable space while saving you time.</p>
<p><b>Focus on your best project or idea, and as long as you are making progress, never stop working on it.</b></p>
<p>The world will love and reward you for it.<br />
