Featured Article: The Power of Persistence
by Michael O'Grady
The
first quarter of the year is nearly history. By this time, you
should have clear and concise goals written
down with your resources in place and a plan of action underway.
You may have gained momentum on the tasks and projects that
you've planned for this year. Maybe you've had to make some
difficult business or personal decisions to accomplish what you want.
You may have second-guessed some decisions or you may have made them with utter confidence.
It's fitting at this time in the year to recognize the importance and power of persistence. It's not only the theme of this newsletter, it's also become a topic in many of my training and articles lately. I believe in the power of staying true to a course of action that gets me closer to my biggest goals.
Be careful not to confuse a stubborn regimen with persistence. Insanity
has been defined as "repeating the same behavior and expecting
different results". Having a strict regimen with a schedule and
structure can be a key component to success in life. But it
is critical to keep the goal in sight and know whether you're
making progress. If you're not making progress, why not?
Keeping the same persistence toward the goal while adjusting the
tasks that are part of the schedule and regimen can be most
effective. Do not fall victim to the definition of
“insanity”. Persistence in the absence of logic and
adaptability can keep you in an endless loop to no where.
A Useful Tool to Track Your Progress
While you're persisting toward your goals, remember to keep yourself accountable by asking yourself....
You might find you'll need to track your progress in greater detail. Keeping a goal sheet and action plan visible and referring to them often as possible will help your greatly. Another great resource to help you along is the S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goal progress review sheet. This sheet will help you measure progress, track improvement, identify new resources, and more.

| Persistence is the one thing that you, yourself alone, can control. The
best view on persistence that I've come across originated from
the 30th United States President, Calvin Coolidge. He
believed not talent, nor genius, nor education could take the place
of persistence. Read what President Coolidge had to say about Persistence. | Persistence: "To continue steadfastily in pursuit of a mission"; "dogged"; stubbornly unyielding; "dogged persistence"; "dour determination" |
