(originally written circa 2019 for my Women Who WOW members.)
“timing is not everything” is the business equivalent to a man’s “size doesn’t matter.”
1) Size ABSOLUTELY matters. So, it’s just not true. Is size EVERYTHING? I mean, not really I guess. Not technically. But it definitely matters.
AND
2) the ONLY men who run around quoting “size doesn’t matter,” well… you can guess why they’re saying that and be RIGHT 100% of the time.
So, for the “timing is everything” crew… let’s break this down.
1) Timing is NOT everything. Timing definitely matters but it is NOT everything. Action. Strategy. AND A WILLINGNESS TO TOLERATE TENSION… that is everything, which brings me to point #2.
2) WHO says “timing is everything?” Those who are justifying a slower, more passive approach. Those who are throwing up their hands, tossing their success into the hands of time and chance. Those “waiting” on some version of perfect or better timing.
I’m going to post a few of my articles about this “curse” of “timing” that seems to plague women entrepreneurs.
