The Secret to Success Isn’t Power—It’s Timing

A note to young leaders.

If there is a secret to success, it’s in the very subtle art of timing.

The difference between striking out and hitting a home run is not in the power of the swing – it’s in the timing.

So if success is eluding you, focus less on swinging harder – focus more on getting the timing right.

Pitching a bold proposal to a client who isn’t ready is not smart. Understand their needs, build trust, and then wait for the right moment.

This lesson applies everywhere: in sports, in business, in love, in life.

Like a wink and a smile, the secret is in the timing.
