Success Strategies – Action And Tenacity Are A Must
With the amount of success strategies around it is easy to become overwhelmed. In fact, there are so many that lots of people spend so much time reading about the different ones that they never really get around to implementing any of them.
For me though, there are just two words that count, and once you fully understand the implied meaning behind those two words, you can hang any number of success strategies you want onto them and make them fit.
So then, what are those two words? One is action, and the other is tenacity.
Action can be broken down into two parts. You first need to establish the right type of action to take, and you then need to follow fully through with that action – nothing short of 100% effort, no holds barred, action will suffice.
Sitting at home constantly dreaming up plans and strategies is no good, as dreamers never become successful. You still need to dream, but once you have your overall dream in mind, then your focus needs to switch to the achievement of it. Remember that action without preparation is always better than endless preparation.
Now, lets move on to the second word – tenacity. This means that once you set your sights on something, you need to chase it for as long as is necessary to get your hands on and, once you have your hands on it, you need to never let go of it.
Note though that this is not a recommendation for adopting a blinkered approach, as charging blindly towards your dream will be as likely to bring failure as it will be to bring success. You need to remain flexible and aware, as there will be more than one way of achieving the same goal, and the way you originally thought of may become blocked.
Consider the following quote: “Success seems to be largely a matter of holding on after others have let go”.
This means that there will always be lots of people going after the same opportunities and, normally, only a handful, maybe even just one, can succeed. If you want that to be you, then you have to keep at it longer and harder than the others that you are competing against.
