Ep | 179.1 Recap w/Jeremiah Webb - Key Takeaways!
Blue Is The New White #179.1 In business, thereâs often a debate about the speed of growthâshould it be fast or slow? Jeremiah Webb offers his perspective in the latest Blue is the New White episode. He challenges the notion that fast is always risky or reckless. Instead, he emphasizes that it's not about speed; it's about recognizing opportunity. Timing is everything, and opportunities often have a small window. If we hesitate or let fear guide our decisions, that window closes, and we may not get another shot for years. Jeremiahâs advice to business owners: Donât let fear hold you back. Learn to see when the door of opportunity opens and move quickly to seize it. Fast doesnât mean carelessâit means capitalizing on the moment and not letting it pass by. Success isnât about fast or slow; itâs about timing and action. #BusinessGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #OpportunityMindset #Entrepreneurship #JeremiahWebb #SeizeTheDay #BlueCollarSuccess
