CoSchedule [Marketing calendar] My number 1 takeaway What's the single most important step from our discussion that our listeners need to take away and implement in their businesses? Be willing to delay gratification. So many of my friends from High School just went off and started working those jobs where they're making $15 or $15 per hour because it sounded very good instead of going the college route and doing something better for themselves. It hurts to see. Had they just delayed that gratification four more years, I think they would have been a lot happier and been able to contribute to society a lot more. The same is true in my business. There's definitely routes that we could take that would be more profitable  right now, but wouldn't have nearly the same long-term.
