Flexibility is The Key

Endurance has to be consistent with flexibility. A balance is crucial – it’s important to know the difference between perseverance and stubbornness.

Be ready to adjust if necessary – of course, you have to be able to identify when adjustments need to be made. Be fair and open to yourself; it includes listening to other people’s feedback.

The key is to listen to your inner voice and outside counsel, while being willing to adjust along the way.

Setbacks and failures teach us what does not work, so we can focus on a new solution that will. The secret of finding new solutions is to look for them. Be flexible when working towards your end goal.

The real achievement comes from moving forward towards one’s dreams and being flexible.

It’s critical to have the mind-set that you are working toward progress, not perfection.  Keep always in mind your end goal by having a beginning and an end goal; what happens in between simply does not matter as long as you keep moving towards your end goal.

Listen to feedback with an open mind. Stay focused on your outcome, but be willing to adjust if needed.

The Number 1 Reason People Don't Achieve Their Goals

Quitting represents the main cause of failure.

Besides the inability to get along with other people, as discussed in our previous post, quitting is the main reason why people generally do not achieve their objectives and goals.

Always remember:

Quitters never win, and winners never quit. This philosophy is as simple and true as it gets, it applies to your own personal life and applies to your business life.

Success is not measured by how easy it is to get there but rather by how persistent you are in reaching your objectives, reaching your goals.

You are unlikely to act on the urge to quit in the face of challenges if you have a clear goal in mind which you know at heart it’s the right goal for you and the people around you.

When you feel like giving up, focus on the outcome rather than the struggle, and push yourself to keep going, no matter how difficult this may seem.

Successful people usually have a clear goal in mind, face the challenges, persist and never quit.

You will reap the rewards when you have the courage and stickability to see your vision through.

You Can Do Better

It is important to realize that you can do better. The reason most people waste a lot of effort and investment is because they are not focusing on the 80/20 principle. 

When you laser focus your efforts on prospects who already understand what you do, know what problems you can solve for them, and prefer the way you go about solving them, you will get far more results from your investment than you ever would have.

80/20 doesn't just apply to customers and billboards and mail drops. It applies to almost everything in business that you can count.

For example:

  • 80 percent of sales are made by 20 percent of people.
  • A great album has 10 songs. Two of them make the pop charts, and one is a number-one hit.
  • 80 percent of the persuasion happens on 20 percent of your web pages.

This is great information to know but it will not be possible until you find someone to sell to. That's what the next article will be about, so stay tuned.
