“Sticktoitiveness” - Do You Have It?
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008Dan Kennedy wrote in a recent article, “‘Sticktoitiveness’ is a strength of character, a philosophical position, a consciously valued and directed behavior, a habit…. winners stick to things, losers give up easily, flit about randomly. Losers waste all the years of their lives looking for the unicorn of modern fantasy, the easy button. Winners find winning strategies and stick to applying them.”
Those of us who are involved with network (or netweb) marketing have found it to be rewarding and challenging. So many companies work to convince us that it is “easy.” You just make a list of friends and family, offer them the great business opportunity, and they will “jump” at the chance to join you in this lucrative endeavor.
I know that when I first became involved, I was surprised by the skepticism and cynicism expressed by those I approached - especially my family members. They almost showed anger and disgust that I would be “duped.” It was not easy to stay the course and disregard the warnings.
As Kennedy continues, “Successful pursuit and achievement of exceptional objectives usually involves two key elements: sticking to a course of study, acquisition of information, learning relevant methodology even if, at first, uncomfortable, foreign or difficult; sticking to self-imposed requirements for implementation of what is learned.”
The great news is that my “sticktoitiveness” is beginning to pay off - in a plethora of ways. So, I leave you with the advice to make a difference in your life and the life of others by sticking with it!
