The Law of the Harvest: Why Business Success Takes Time

Have you heard of the "on-demand economy"? You can probably guess what it means, but The Wall Street Journal coined the term a few years ago to describe how we expect everything now—rides, food, entertainment, banking—right at our fingertips.

Last month, a friend of mine did all of this in a single afternoon:
✅ Took an Uber to pick up a client’s check
✅ Deposited the check using his phone
✅ Ordered dinner through Favor
✅ Took another Uber home
✅ Ate while watching a Netflix show

Mind-blowing, right? None of that was possible 10-12 years ago.

Technology has trained us to expect instant results. But here’s the catch: business doesn’t work that way.

Success isn’t on demand. Growth isn’t a push-button process. You have to play the long game.

I call it the "Law of the Harvest." Because if you think like a farmer, you’ll understand how real success works:

The Three Principles of the Law of the Harvest

🌱 Expect results in 90 days, not tomorrow. Growth takes time. The work you put in today won’t show results immediately—but it will pay off if you stay the course.

🌾 Consistency beats sporadic effort. Farmers don’t plant one day and expect crops the next. They plan, nurture, and stay consistent. The same applies to business.

🌦 Some things are outside your control. Weather, market shifts, unexpected setbacks—farmers adapt instead of panicking. So should you.
