“Well, there’s a metaphor that I learned at our farm that will help you fully understand The Twin Cycles of Elite Performance. Talk to any farmer and she’ll tell you about the ‘fallow season.’ Before it, there’s an intense period when the soil gets tilled, crops get planted and serious work gets done. Then there’s that season of resting. Seems like nothing’s happening. Looks like time is a wasting. Yet here’s the neat part: It’s in the fallow season that the harvest is really blossoming. All the produce that shows during autumn is just the visible end result.”
