Stick To It…
Besides some prayer and exercise, I like to start my day off with some positivity. I usually go for a walk and listen to my Philosopher’s Notes on my ipod for my daily dose of inspiration. Then I get another blast when I check my e-mail, and read my daily “Big Idea,” (also from Philosophers Notes by Brian Johnson.)
The other day, I received a “Big Idea” email on the concept of “Stickability,” taken from the Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz.
Here’s the quote:
“Just enough sense to stick with something—a chore, task, project, until it’s completed pays off much better than idle intelelligence, even if idle intelligence be of genius caliber.” According to Schwartz, “stickability” is 95 percent ability.” Wow—now that’s a concept.
I can think of many examples where that would be true. Here are just a few examples:
- Sales—Persistence, persistence, persistence. Make the calls and stick to it, and you’ll make sales! The more you tell the more you sell!
- Business In a Down Economy—Go back to the basics and stick to it, and your business will grow and again through persistence, and determination.
- Diet—Strive to eat right, and exercise and stick to it. If you fall off a day, so what. Get back on your plan and stick to it and the results will come.
- Etc.
I don’t know about you, but I think we could all use a good dose of stickability in our lives!
Thanks for reading!
