Persistance is the key to success

"Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before." Jacob A. Riis

I hope this helps you a little bit in your life and business goals.

    I agree persistence is very important but as far as being THE key to success I'm not so sure.

    In fact peristently doing the WRONG thing normally leads to failure not success.

  • Persistence - yes it helps. But also do remember, although I do understand it was just an analogy, there is more ways than one to achieve your goals. Sometimes, even more efficient ways.
    Hammering is only one 7ay to break a rock. But understand that if you take this a bit literally, there are many other advanced tools to make things a lot easier.

    Especially in the Internet Marketing world. There's a lot of more advanced tactics and methods to take you to where you need to be faster than hammering something 1000 times.

    Persistence, I dont believe is THE key, but I believe it ise20A key. There are times when just applying the right method, at the right place at the right time can bring you the results you want. Persistence is what gets you to stay in the game when things aren't that good.
