Have you ever wondered why someone who has all the talent or skills in the world isn’t as successful as you would expect? What about the person who is not very talented or skilled yet is successful way beyond what you would expect?
The truth is that no matter what your talent or skill is, there will always be someone who’s better at it than you. In fact, talent and skill isn’t everything; they just give you a jump start.
What really matters is what you do with your talent or skill…Action.
Action will determine the result.
The person who gets results or is more successful is the one who takes action. This is the person who works hard and continues to grow and get better. This is the person who preserves through the difficult times. This is the person who fails more often. This is the person who will ultimately succeed.
The same principle applies to building a business. The person who does the work, who persists, who continuously learns and applies what he or she learns is the one who is going to succeed.
Taking action isn’t always easy. I deal with this all the time. I have many things competing for my attention. I struggle with getting it all done and things always take longer than I expect.
I end up not getting done or delaying the things that are important to me because of more urgent matters. I find myself getting frustrated and annoyed and wanting to blame something or someone. I then start to question myself and my abilities. I start questioning if I really want to succeed. I start getting stressed out. Have you ever found yourself in this place?
These are the times when I need to get focused…not always easy to do when you’re in the midst of something. I need to take responsibility and assess my actions and make improvements.
And in the midst of this struggle I’ve come realized is that if building a business were easy, then everyone would be doing it…but not everyone does. So I’ve made the decision to persist and I’ve made the decision to keep pressing forward
I may not move as fast as I like, but as long as I don’t quit and persist, my action will take me to success. When you find yourself in a similar struggle, remember that you’re doing something that not everyone can or will do. So consider yourself special. Smile and press onward. Success is just down the road.
