Success is not the absence of failure, it\u2019s the persistence through failure.

What does “Persistence” mean to you? One thought is that persistence\u00a0refers to how long one is able and willing to stick to a task, even when it is challenging. Also, that lack of persistence is when someone is willing to drop a task and move on to something else when roadblocks are encountered.

We\u2019ll simplify it and define it as\u00a0“the quality of continuing steadily despite problems, challenges, or difficulties”\u00a0<\/i>and call them set-backs.<\/i>
<\/i>
Are you impacted by set-backs or do they fire you up? When you experience them, what are you feeling and how do you adjust? We know not everything goes as planned, and that we may feel dejected when our efforts are derailed (for any reason), but it\u2019s how we respond that matters.\u00a0 The list below highlights just a few that “persisted” and succeeded:

Abraham Lincoln
Experienced 12 major failures before being elected the 16th U.S. President

Albert Einstein
His teachers said “he wouldn\u2019t amount to much<\/i>“.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven’s music teacher once said “as a composer, he is hopeless<\/i>“.\u00a0\u00a0

Steve Jobs
He felt he was a public failure when he was fired from Apple.

Walt Disney
Was fired from a newspaper for his lack of imagination.

The Beatles
In 1962 they were told they “had no future in show business<\/i>” and that “groups with guitars are on the way out”.\u00a0<\/i>
<\/i>
Dr. Seuss
His initial manuscript was rejected 28 times prior to being accepted by Random House\/Vanguard Press.

Oprah Winfrey
After seven and a half months in her first job as a TV anchor she was fired and told\u00a0she was “unfit for television news”.

Expect and plan for set-backs and persist! You will experience failures and face challenges, and when they occur, analyze what happened and why.\u00a0\u00a0Be clear about your strategies and the direction needed to obtain the results you desire, and don\u2019t shy away from\u00a0continuing steadily despite encountering problems!<\/i>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Sincerely,<\/div><\/div>

Mike and Jan<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0<\/p>

Patience, persistence, and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
