Is success luck or strategic persistence?
The answer is obviously, BOTH.
Do you want to lean on one and not the other? Nope.
So, my recommendation is to strategically persist in your goal
attainment and letting luck have its way.
If you look at some of the great businessmen and women; you’ll
realize that being both persistent and strategic played a role in success.
So how do you do both?
I think we all know how to be lucky: Just throw the dice. You can’t be lucky without
playing the game.
When you walk into Vegas, you must buy chips then play
roulette. Its’ not until this moment you have a chance to be lucky or, in a lot
of cases, unlucky.
On to the second part of strategically persistent. First you
have to set a goal. This goal has to be obtainable and straightforward. I normally
wouldn’t say obtainable because it suggest that it is too easy. However, in this
regard, we are focus on a person being persistent rather than obtaining some
lofty goal.
Next, set accountable measures to get your goals. In other
words, have specific steps to obtaining your goals. How do you know you are
being persistent if you don’t have measurables.
Lastly, you have to consciously reevaluate where you stand. Is the current method of achieve success to
daunting? Are you stressed? Are you enjoying the process? You don’t have to
answer all of these questions at one time. But, having them swimming in your
head will help guide to some measurement of success.
