Swedish term or phrase: att skörda det du sådde
Context - text from the course in Sales Techniques:

En viktig egenskap att utveckla är alltså tålamodet. Du måste förstå att framgång aldrig kommer med en gång. Det finns en regel som säger att du kommer att skörda det du sådde, men att du måste så först. Det innebär att de kontakter som du skapar under en månad, inte betalar av sig förrän kanske nästa månad. Du måste med andra ord vara tålmodig och villig att betala ett visst pris för att lyckas.
