Maintain Equal Effort, Not Constant Pace
- Maintain equal effort across changing conditions to avoid burnout and poor performance.
- Hold back early and deploy energy later to gain advantage when others slow down.
Steady Effort Through Business Ups and Downs
- When business hits a hard patch, keep steady effort instead of overexerting and burning out.
- Save capacity so you can make massive progress when conditions become easier.
