Persisting with Bulldog Determination

Excerpt from Rick Gettle, President/Founder of the Master Mind Alliance

Ninety-five percent of all new businesses go out of business within the first five years or less. Why Do They Fail? There are many starters in life - but very few finish what they start.


When the going gets tough, most people fold. They don't persist hard enough or persevere long enough. They don't have a red-hot flaming burning desire to succeed. They don t make it their DEFINITE MAJOR PURPOSE.  They don't go the extra mile. They don't want it bad enough. They don't have enough self-control and discipline. Shall I go on? I could write a book on why so many people fail, but I'd rather talk about those who succeed.

 

There Are Three Kinds Of People

1.  People who make things happen

2.  People who watch someone else make it happen and

3.  People who don t know what's happening.

The Make-It-Happen People

Thomas Edison persisted through 4,999 different attempts to invent and perfect the incandescent lamp. He finally succeeded on his 5,000th attempt. This is a recorded fact.

What do you suppose he had that others didn't have? Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don t quit. Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.

Never, never, never, never give up .   -Winston Churchill

The majority of people meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.     -Napolean Hill

What Is Persistence?

It is the power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure this is the winner's quality. Persistence is the ability to face defeat again and again without giving up and to push on in the face of great difficulty. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that's necessary to reach your goals.

To go on resolutely -- in spite of difficulties endurance. Having a fixed purpose -- free from doubt or wavering. Firm in adherence to whatever one is bound to by duty or promise. Stubborn Unyielding never giving up never surrendering willing to die for - never yielding to physical force even when tortured would rather die than betray or give up information. Refusing to relent. To be steadfast in purpose - To prevail, endure, remain, last.

The Greatest Tragedy In Life

Millions of people come into this world and leave this world and never ever realize or develop their full powers and potential. They bargained in life for a penny, and life would pay no more, not realizing that any wage they would have asked of life would have been gladly paid. Some of those people never even tried, they just settled for mediocrity. Others, got a dream, an idea, a desire or goal, and decided to go for it, but then dropped out when the going got tough. There are many starters in life, but very few finish. Too many people give up on their dreams too soon in life.

No matter what the level of our ability, we have more potential than we can ever develop in a lifetime. Deep within every man and woman dwells those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish them, which they never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize their life if aroused and put into action.

Potential means: undeveloped -- and unrealized -- powers, possibilities, and capabilities -- that can -- but have not yet come into being. In other words, the best is yet to come! You have powers and talent you have not developed or used yet. You also have dreams and fantasies you have not realized yet. Your unlimited possibilities are still alive, just waiting for you to give them power.
