Without It, You WILL Fail!

What guarantees you reaching your accomplishments no matter the odds? How does a successful person that's failed time and time again eventually finds himself fulfilling their dream?

It's called perseverance.

No matter how talented people may be, there is no success without perseverance. Whether you are running a business or pursuing a career, knowing that perseverance means succeeding because you are determined to, not because your destined to is an important fact you must keep in mind.

Vince Lombardi said "The difference between a successful person and others is not the lack of strength, not the lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of determination." The greatest achievers don't sit back and wait for success because they think they deserve it. They keep moving forward and persevering because they are determined to achieve it.

The most important piece of knowledge I want to share with you is that perseverance recognizes that life isn't a long race, but short ones in succession. Each task has it's own challenges. Each day it's own event. Yes, even-though you have to get out of bed the next day and race again, it's not exactly the same race as before. To be successful, you just have to keep plugging away.

If you have the desire to be a great leader in your business, you must be able to hold at least this one trait: Have the ability to make things happen. That takes perseverance. No matter what your talent is or how much of it you have, without perseverance, you're only a little more than a flash in the pan.

    And through the trials and tribulations.. All the obstacles.. We find ourselves overcoming things we never thought possible.. And by stretching everyday outside the comfort zone, success comes closer.

    Great food for thought to start the day. I just finished up some work on a project at 6am(California).

    Great Post! and so true. If you try to achieve big things all at once it looks and feel overwhelming but if you break it down into smaller obtainable goal it looks and feels much more possible.

      A good action plan also helps. Of course, I would put perseverance in front of that

        Combining perseverance with a system that works is the key in my experience. No good persevering with what doesn't work. But if you make changes as you go and keep chugging you will get to your destination guaranteed.

        A proven plan is key though.
