God helps those who help themselves. So its not a patience thing in that you lay back and do almost nothing to service or assist yourself.
Its a patience in taking care of business and knowing that in the future you are going to be better off.
People think that patience means "passively waiting" and thats not what it means in the business context. It means "actively waiting", working towards the goal. Its a concentrated effort, and the focus is taken off the situation which is not working out for you.
