Patience is a virtue. This is what we were taught all our lives and it has its benefits, one of which is that patience allow us to learn to wait, which lessens our worry when things take time.

But patience is not my strongest suit. I am a person who wants to see results right away, I want to be able to think, visualize and try them out soonest possible. However having this trait often leads me to off-the-gut decisions, and often these decisions can be disastrous. But for entrepreneurs, decision making, a quick one, is a virtue.

In entrepreneurship, everything moves by faith, because results, which you do not know, does not come unless you start them. And so decision making, a decisive and quick one is of highest importance as it get things moving. But let me make it clear that quick decision making is not about making reckless, carless, neglectful and irresponsible decision but rather, one that has gone through reasonable considerations of the pros and cons as well as commitment to making adjustments along the way until desired results are achieved.

Decision means starting things the way one would pick up a book and start reading. The way Steve Jobs told Wozniak to sell computers, rather than give off the blue print for free. The way Matsushita tinkered with battery and lights. They way Gates and Allen started with only a computer and garage. In short, decision making is a yes and action, that makes decision making driven by faith rather than data.

So, yes, it is alright to be impatient as an entrepreneur because it get things moving.
