Persistence Is A Big Factor In Small Business Success!

Sometimes being in business for yourself can be a grind. Am I right? There's always so much to do and never enough time to do it. You've got to keep an eye on the details and the big picture. Plan for the future and worry about right now. And remain motivated all the while. Who else is going to rally the troops if not you? Probably no one! So as you make your way along the road of small business ownership, being persistent in pursuing your goals will help you get where you want to go.

Just recently, I said that it's up to you to be the driving force behind your business. Think of yourself as both the player and the cheerleader (in whichever uniform you prefer). I may be repeating myself, but it's kinda handy when I can quote myself because what I said is relevant to another topic! No one is going to advocate for or promote your business like you. Same goes for working hard. So when the days feel extra long, extra difficult, very challenging, being persistent is essential! You need to just keep going and have a stick-to-itiveness attitude.

If you quit, you'll never be successful. So continue on this road that you've chosen. You may not know where it will take you — and it may not go in a straight line. Heck, you might even back-track a little, but if you keep going, you'll keep making progress. And progress is a good thing!
