Patience is the key to success to people who are starting their own business, or business owners themselves. It is true that time is your constant companion but never works at the paste at which you'd like.
The people who are starting their own business often gets frustrated because they want things happen now as they had planned. However, rushing never helps.
For example, you just started your own website, and you spend hundreds of dollars advertising your website. But you are missing the main point - the quality of content on your website, or the quality of products you carry. Your prospects visit your website and leave shortly after. If you run a blog, your visitors need to see things that can turn into values into their lives. If you are selling your products you need to convince your prospects so they can become customers. You might carry great products but that's not enough to convince your prospects. Adding quality content such as "live demo", or gather "testimonials" should be your primary focus before focusing on marketing.
You need patience for people to spread postive feedbacks about your products. You need patience to find the right employees.
