    Equilibra tu visión. Evalúa cada decisión a corto plazo preguntándote si contribuye a tus metas futuras. Evita acciones que solo ofrezcan ganancias inmediatas pero dañen tu reputación, recursos o relaciones clave a largo plazo. Refuerza tu compromiso con una estrategia sólida. Revisa constantemente tus avances y ajusta sin perder el enfoque. ¡El éxito duradero se construye con decisiones inteligentes y sostenibles!

    Ah, the shiny lure of short-term success—it feels great, but it can be sneaky. Here is what I would do 1..Remind teams: momentum is good, but direction matters more. It’s easy to double down on what’s working NOW , but we have to ask—does it align with where we want to go? 2. Regular strategy check-ins help. I also set aside time and resources specifically for long-term bets, even if short-term wins are rolling in. It’s about balance. 3. Celebrate the wins, yes—but don’t let them blind you. The goal is to grow with intention, not just reaction.

    Short-term wins feel great, but they can easily derail long-term goals if they’re not aligned. I encourage regular check-ins to stay on course. Wins should support the bigger picture - not distract from it. Strategic patience is key to building something that lasts.
