Are you a Direct Marketing FAILURE? The Barefoot Millionaires present #3 in a 10-Part Series
In this third installment of the ten-part series, the experts at The Barefoot Millionaires dissect another of the ten most common reasons people fail in the direct marketing business.
Reason #3: Lack of Persistence
We've all been there: looking in the mirror, disgusted - or at least mildly annoyed - at what we see staring back at us. Love handles, fish belly, skinny arms, you name it. We all have our own crosses to bear.
But the point is this: at that moment, we make a change! We decide enough is enough and this time, damn it, we're gonna get into shape! So what do we do? We go out, buy a bunch of workout gear and a pair of hundred-dollar running shoes. Then we go home, rip off the tags, and get PUMPED for the first day in our ripped, svelt, sexy new life.
Awesome. But what about... the second day?
The experts like to say that the first step is the hardest, but I don't buy that. Think about it - a lot of people take the first step. I've taken several "first steps." In reality, the hardest step is the second. This is the one that most people don't take.
But why?
Because most people are incredible starters, but they're horrible finishers. In fact, most people don't finish... they quit. It's like the event never existed.
The "why" is easy: success is difficult! The initial fire fades, that buzz is gone, and nothing is left but the hard work.
How do you avoid this extremely common condition?
Two ways:
1. Don't start anything. Stay exactly where you are. It's not so bad, is it? Or...
2. Persist!
What did you expect? A silver bullet? A secret sauce? Those things don't exist, and if you're counting on that to succeed, change tacks immediately.
The recipe for success is so simple: decide you are going to take action, take the action, and keep tweaking and pushing forward until you succeed. That's it! Write it down, get a tattoo, whatever. Just take the action.
