I sent a similar letter to my staff this morning in an effort to pump them up and do what they need to do for our combined success. As one of my biggest goals in life is to help others succeed, I wanted to share it here as well. Hope it is help to some of you

I have been feeling a little down lately for all the expected reasons, most especially the state of the economy and the slower business we've all been experiencing. But at the end of the day I am the kind of person who is persistent through and through. That's why I loved this article that came to me this morning. It reminded me that being persistent is how you get to the top, how you succeed, how you get what you really want. If you really WANT to be a success you must be persistent.

Persistent in sending client thank yous and giving recommendations. Persistent in asking clients to do more business and attending networking events. Persistent in keeping a positive attitude, giving your best everyday and inspiring everyone around you.

From the article:

Think and Grow Rich (written by Napoleon Hill 70 years ago) has an entire chapter on persistence that provides real insight as to the characteristics of what makes some stick at it until they win, while others stop either just after they start, or stop just before they are about to taste victory.

Persistence is a state of mind, therefore it can be cultivated. Like all states of mind, persistence is based upon definite causes, among them these:

a. Definiteness of purpose. Knowing what one wants is the first and, perhaps, the most important step toward the development of persistence. A strong motive forces one to surmount many difficulties.
b. Desire. Its is comparatively easy to acquire and to maintain persistence in pursuing the object of intense desire.

I am putting everything I have into my business. Are you doing the same for yours? Are you willing to let your business hide in the shadows or perhaps quietly slip away due to a lack of persistence? Or do you want to see your company succeed (or possibly even fail) in a brilliant flame of love, dedication and inspiration?
