I finally figured out why my broom finish was always uneven

For like 3 years I been doing broom finishes and they always looked kinda wavy in certain light. I thought I was just bad at keeping a steady hand or something. Then last month I was finishing a patio in Phoenix and this old timer walks up and goes 'you're pulling the broom too fast, slow it down and let the bristles do the work.' Turns out I was rushing the whole pass trying to cover ground quick. Now I take my time and the finish comes out way more consistent. Has anyone else had a basic technique click way later than it should have?
