I was talking to one of my multi-millionaire friends today and one of the many things he talked about is how being persistent will allow you to achieve whatever it is you want. Persistence pays, and pays in huge returns. Just hearing that really made me feel good.
Your Persistence Fortune
You see, it’s easy to feel bad and to work as hard as you can and come to expect great results and then have those great ideas wither away like a dying flower in late summer. It’s harder to find something to keep you going when you shake your head in disbelief because things didn’t work out the way you expected them to. To make things worse, you bragged to everyone again about how well you are going to do, to find out that the idea you implemented turned out to be another bomb. Don’t you hate that?
But the fact is that a lot of ideas won’t work out and you just need to work until you find the one that does. That’s what I’m doing and have been doing for over 20 years. You can make it too.
For some, it won’t take very long. For others it will take a long time. However, what is a long time? To a dish cooking on the stove on a medium high temperature, 2 minutes exceeding the done time is too long. However, for building from scratch a rocket to get to the moon and back 10 years is pretty fast.
So what if it took 20 years to achieve your goals and dreams? For a lot of people it won’t, but what if it did? I say big deal. One of my mentors once said, “We’re going to be here anyway.” Life’s going to pass anyway, so don’t worry or be bothered by it. Would you rather achieve your goals and dreams at the end of 20 years or not at all? I think we all know the answer to that and in order to get there, we must never give up!
Remember, a failure is not a failure unless you give up. It is instead a lesson learned on our journey to success. Keep going and find a support system or create one that supports you reaching your goals and dreams. Like this web site or a friend, or an organization like the List Building Club, or a mastermind group and so on. Find someone who believes in you and believes in your dreams and goals and this will help you in being persistent. I say to you right now, never give up on yourself or your goals. Be persistent.
We’ll talk again real soon.
You are incredible,
