Persistence: The Commonality of Champions and Successful Entrepreneurs

Goal Setting & Achievement Podcast: Business|Productivity

Look upon history, and you’ll find that the notable quality that exists in all champions is persistence.

The path you walk will not always be easy, but you have to continue to persist. Even in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, you must keep putting one foot in front of the other, because there are lessons to be learned along the way, all of which will support your success

Whenever you confront an obstacle or roadblock, step back and emotionally detach yourself from the situation. It’s much easier to think of ways to go around, under, or over the obstacle when you let go of the frustration. This may take some practice, so try this exercise: imagine a friend is the one facing the challenge(s), and you are simply providing ideas on how to help them overcome the obstacle. When you are solution-oriented, you focus on the possibilities, not the impossibilities.

In truth, nothing is impossible, and change is always inevitable. Knowing this, you can take persistent steps in faith, with the wisdom that nothing stays the same, and at some time in the future your current obstacles will dissolve.

Here are some quick facts about people who have applied persistence.

What’s the lesson here? You should never, never give up. However, there are times when it may be appropriate to refocus your persistence in a new direction. How do you know when it’s the right time to change course?

If you absolutely cannot live without what passionately consumes you, then do not give it up. The problem is never your passion, it only the manner in which you are trying to make it happen. Try a different approach - think of a creative solution. However, if you can live without it, then passion is not what is driving you. When passion is not driving you - it’s not something you really want. Perhaps you have trained yourself to want what someone else wants for you. Go back to your list of goals and reconnect with the goals that really drive you.
