Persistence The Key To Success



Persistence The Key To Success
   

It takes more than good looks, "smarts", contacts and a great idea to be a business success, it takes persistence. A person who has,vision, faith,an action plan and stick to itness will not fail.

Persistence is the key to success. The ability and will to "grind it out" when the going gets tough is essential in an entrepreneur.

Let me illustrate this with a personal story. I have a nine year old grand daughter. Recently her gym class started jumping rope. Well my granddaughter wasn't a very good jumper. She would mange one or two jumps and then the rope would get tangled up in her legs. She would get frustrated throwing the rope down and call it stupid. But she had a dream or vision. She really wanted to be able to jump rope like some of her friends.

So she developed an action plan. She practiced ever chance she got. She would drag the jump rope out whenever we were around, saying "Watch me jump". She wanted us to count how many times she jumped the rope without stopping. At first she was lucky if she made it to the count of ten. But soon she was doing one hundred or more jumps in a row.

After a few weeks she was jumping like a pro, hopping on one leg, twisting and turning. Needless to say my granddaughter is very proud of herself. She can now jump rope with the best of them. Most important she has learned a valuable life lesson. If you put your mind to something, practice and don't give up you will be successful.

Lastly I would like to leave you with this story about Winston Churchill, the legendary British Prime Minister and great war-time leader. Churchill was asked to speak before a group of young people and give them some advice on succeeding in the world.

According to the story Churchill walked up to the podium, grasp it with both hands, stared in silence at the audience for a moment and then in his gravelly voice said: " Never, Never, Never, Never Give Up!" He then turned from his audience and sat down. So as you work on self improvement, set goals for yourself and create an action plan remember Churchill's words and never give up.
