Short YouTube monologue by Jim Johnson advising founders and business leaders to prioritize building strong operational and organizational foundations before aggressively pushing sales; uses a golf analogy (‘slow is smooth and smooth is fast’) to illustrate disciplined, practiced preparation leading to scalable, smooth execution. The message cautions against trying to sell everything at once and making a mess of operations.

There's a saying in golf, it's one of my favorite sayings that slow is smooth and smooth is fast. If you've ever watched golf, you watch these people that play, you look at them and you're like wow, that just looks so smooth, right? Like it looked like they put any effort into it and whack and it's just gone. Play with a guy that's much like that. But the way he was able to do that is all the work he did underneath to develop that swing, that discipline, to have that smooth, well timed, perfect rhythm swing. And we've got to look at our businesses that way that we've got to build the underpinnings first of a strong foundation before we go out and sell a whole bunch of stuff and make a mess of things. That doesn't mean we shouldn't sell anything. It just shouldn't mean that we're trying to sell everything, which is very different.
