How To Harness The Awesome, Unstoppable Power Of Persistence In 4 Easy Steps

Never underestimate the power of persistence!

If you persist you really cannot fail.

While you may fail many times along the way, you have not truly failed until you accept failure. However, if you are truly persistent, failure is a clear indication you are getting closer to success.

How can that be?

Because with each failure comes very valuable knowledge. The knowledge of what DOESN'T work, (this is the basic premise of testing).

Acknowledge failure brings you a step closer to success and you will never look at it the same way again.

Do you have a light in your house? Of course you do. Do have a light in your car? Of course you do. Do you see them in the street, in the shops, airports, hospitals, restaurants, etc, etc? Yes, they are everywhere.

Well, the electric light was borne from one man's irresistible persistence to invent what many said was impossible.

It wasn't easy, thousands of times he failed....thousands!! How many people make it past 3 failures? Most give up after only one. Plenty never even try.

But Thomas A. Edison, the creator of the incandescent light, took each of those failures in his stride.

With the knowledge of what DOESN'T work, each failure took him a step closer to changing the entire world!

We only want to get rich. A much, much easier task.

If persistence can change the world, imagine what it can do for you.

Persistence can be developed through 4 simple steps.

Are you ready?

Pay close attention, these are life skills you should embrace deep within your psyche...practice them whenever you want to rise above your present dilemma...teach them to your children.

The 4 Steps to Developing Persistence

Step 1
Have a definite goal fueled by a burning desire to achieve it.

Step 2
Have a definite plan and continually work at it.

Step 3
Close your mind against all negativity. Do not think about or be discouraged by the negative comments that may come from family, friends and acquaintances.

Step 4
Form a friendship with one or more people who will encourage you to follow through with your plan and achieve your goals.

There my friend is the kind of thing we should be taught in schools. How different might your life be if you embraced that as a child.

Personally, I was never taught to persist. Whenever the going got tough I quit.

After years of underachievement, poverty and unhappiness I knew my life philosophy wasn't working. I decided if I ever wanted things to change I needed to change.

So I set about discovering the laws of life known by the very rich and the very happy.

The 4 Steps to Developing Persistence are among the most valuable.

Here's how they can apply to you:

Step 1
Have a definite goal backed by a burning desire to achieve it.

- I'm guessing you want to be rich. If you do commit yourself to achieving that goal you are half way there. Read my '7 Secret Steps To Success' article once you have finished this one. http://007workfromhome.com/harnessing-yo ur-power.php

Step 2
Have a definite plan and continually work at it.

- You must have a plan because without one you are treading water. How many people do you know have goals?

Probably not many, I know because I asked a lot of the people around me what their goals were and most of them just went "...aahhh....dunno".

That's the kind of aimlessness that will see you doing the same unrewarding job for the next 15 years.

Step 3
Close your mind against all negativity. Do not think about or be discouraged by the negative comments that may come from family, friends and acquaintances.

- If you know someone who has a habit of discouraging you, don't tell them what you are doing or what your goals are. Wait until you're having some success and then tell them.

Anything they have to say then will either no longer apply or will be seen for what it is: -- An attempt to stop you from rising above the position in life they would prefer to see you occupy! --

Step 4
Form a friendship with one or more people who will encourage you to follow through with your plan and achieve your goals.

- If you know people of similar mind then that is fantastic, spend time with them, soak up their positivity.

If not, don't worry because you do not necessarily need to form a personal relationship. Encouragement from the great minds and achievers of our time can be found in books, tapes and CD's.

Jim Rohn is very good, others are Anthony Robbins and Napoleon Hill.

Persistence is a necessary ingredient in any achievement. Obviously it must be, because if you didn't persist you would never finish anything.

The degree of your persistence is actually proportional to the size of the achievement.

It has been a defining characteristic of some of the greatest men and women to ever walk our planet.

Persist!
