I don’t know how long it will take for you to reach your business goals. I can’t predict if you will succeed. Deadlines get pushed back. Your business plan is sound but the execution is flawed. Setbacks will happen, difficulties will arise, and obstacles appear, and these are a normal part of the business. Bottomline…persist until you succeed.

Persistence is defined as; the continuance of an effect after its cause is removed.
How many times have you failed at your business and how many marketing plans have failed to produce sales? How many times have you jumped companies? Did you make any sales today? Despite all this, you continue to persist until you succeed.

Persistence is the key ingredient in all businesses. It doesn’t matter what your industry, product, or service is. Persistence is always present in successful people. Persistence is also present in failed businesses. When people are persistently late, fail to follow up, or don’t take the time to learn they quit.

Persistence is the best weapon to defeat doubt, discouragement, frustration, and procrastination. Procrastination is the deadly killer of business. People persist in procrastinating. Being persistent in the right way will help you succeed in your business.

Being persistent is simple. It is not easy. Here are 3.5 ways to Persist Until You Succeed
