Success is a marathon, not a sprint. 🚀 Netflix began as a DVD rental-by-mail service in 1997, and Google started as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1996 while they were PhD students at Stanford University. Yet, both have become industry giants. I often encounter people who believe that a lack of short-term progress means their idea is flawed. Whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, executive, or product manager—remember, slow progress doesn't mean you’re on the wrong path. Persistence is the key to turning your vision into reality. Keep pushing, stay focused, and remember—great products, projects, and businesses are built over time, not overnight. #Entrepreneurship #ProductManagement #Engineering #GrowthMindset #Persistence
