Learning from pressure

"I have had to do all my marketing and promotional activities on a shoe-string budget," moaned Ros.

Have you ever worked for someone with impossible deadlines? Have you ever been forced to produce with a lot less than your competition? I have learned invaluable lessons and that experience changed my thinking and behaviour. It's clear to me that these ruthless use of time and demands to do it quicker and better separate winners from the losers. But I never confuse haste with speed.
