Some Stuff I’m Thinking About — 7.1.23

Each & Every Saturday — I spend some time writing about things that are kicking around in my head right now.

This week, we dive into topics that I believe can make a significant role in shaping our personal and professional lives.

1. The Anchor of Success: Tenacity

“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” — Albert Einstein

The first focus of my reflections this week is tenacity. In our professional journeys, whether as marketers, entrepreneurs, or leaders, we often face challenging obstacles. It’s our tenacity, our ability to stick to a task, even in the face of adversity, that often determines our level of success.

Tenacity is about determination, perseverance, and a willingness to push through challenges. It’s about setting our sights on a goal and persisting until we reach it. Developing tenacity requires patience, resilience, and a steadfast belief in our capabilities.

Cultivate tenacity by setting clear, meaningful goals and adopting a ‘can-do’ attitude. When you face setbacks, see them as temporary hurdles rather than insurmountable obstacles. Remember, success is often just around the corner from where most people give up!
