But there’s a bagel shop not 5 minutes from my house that makes the best bagels I’ve ever had outside of NY/NJ.\nAnd they offer preorders for Christmas Eve. It’s become a bit of a tradition in our house to get those bagels and do a Christmas Eve brunch.\nThey also have a select stock for people on a first come first serve basis. People who preorder can buy from this stock. The many preorders combined with the select stock creates a long line. After-all, these bagels are superb.\nSo we waited.\nAnd during that wait, there were some people who complained about the wait1.\nBut no one left the line or cancelled their order. After all, if all they wanted was bagels, they could have gone to the grocery store a few doors down and buy bagels immediately.\nBut those are not even good bagels. And we wanted great bagels.\nSee, there’s a dirty little secret that no one wants to hear these days:\nGreat things require time. And they’re worth the wait.\nRead the full article here\nIn the PRO show, I explain how I plan for conferences, and how I measure direct ROI from events.
