Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody. Longfellow

Has it occurred to you that no matter what you do to earn your living, you’re in sales? Think about it. Whether you are a minister, a doctor, a lawyer, whether you drive a truck or make pastries in a bakery, you’re in sales.

Are you married?

That’s one of life’s biggest sales jobs! In order to make a sale, sometimes you have to knock and knock and knock, without giving up and without letting up. If you make enough noise someone is going to wake up and listen to what you have to say.

Keep digging. It doesn’t matter whether you’re 25 or 65, whether you’re male or female, physically disabled or otherwise challenged. Begin here. Begin now. Don’t stop. Don’t get distracted. You can reach your goal. All you have to do is keep on and keep on and keep on…

The fact is that if more people kept going instead of throwing in the towel they would get there. Too many people quit right before they would accomplish what they are trying for.

It just gets to hard for them to continue and then they feel it would be easier to just quit then keep on going. I have always kept in my mind the saying “that it is always darkest before the dawn.” This is incredibly true.

You will get there, you will succeed, you will reach your goal if you believe and keep persevering. Don’t quit now… or EVER! Remember, failure only occurs if you quit. So make failure not an option.
