INTRODUCTION

Good morning, you are listening to IBGR.Network, the International Business Growth Radio Network, I am your host, Jan Robberts, Inspirational Entrepreneur, Co-Founder of Ki Leadership Institute and founder of JRs Speakers Club. For more information about me, go to the IBGR website and check out my profile. There you will also find all the links to follow and get in touch with me.

Show Objectives - The Why

Do you want to be successful? There are many different, important aspects of being a well-rounded, successful business owner. I am one of your hosts in the People lane, often forgotten but an integral part of your business development.

In today’s show I will talk into Persistence and why it is not just a ‘nice to have’ and how Failure is part of the process. Will you learn from it, keep growing, and keep moving forward?

Persistence is what you need when every person and everything tells you to quit…never give up. Say to yourself: “I will until…” 
Persistence is key to your long-term success!

In the next few sessions today, I will talk into:

• Persistence, Determination, Perseverance, & Resilience – Similar… but different.
• A stunning exercise on the power of persistence in the TAGR course
• 16 symptoms of lack of persistence
• 8 areas to cultivate to become more persistent

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

I would not be talking to you today if I did not, at least, have some persistence. Have I started projects or courses and not finished them? Yes of course…some of them are still on my shelves or virtual shelf…all part of my ‘Shelf development’. 
​
I have learnt a great deal from those painful lessons and, even today, I sometimes have fleeting thoughts about not proceeding with certain things but those lessons, combined with my passion, purpose and determination, ensure that I persist

What You Need to Know - The What


The chapter of persistence in the book,Think & Grow Rich, mentions the following 16 symptoms of lack of persistence:

1. Failure to recognize and clearly define exactly what you want
2. Procrastination
3. Lack of interest in acquiring specialized knowledge
4. Indecision
5. Excuses; Relying on alibis
6. Self satisfaction
7. Indifference
8. Blaming others
9. Weak desire
10. Willingness to quit
11. Lack of organized plans
12. Neglecting to move on ideas or grasp opportunities
13. Wishing instead of Willing
14. Absence of ambition (compromising with poverty)
15. Searching for shortcuts 
16. Fear of criticism

How are you doing in all of these 16 points? .... Room for improvement????

Persistence is a state of mind therefore it can be cultivated.
How? Implementing these 8 factors will be a great start:

1. Definiteness of purpose
2. Desire
3. Self-reliance
4. Definiteness of plans
5. Accurate knowledge
6. Co-operation
7. Willpower
8. Habit

Take inventory of yourself, and determine in what particular, if any, you are lacking in this essential quality. Measure yourself courageously, point by point, and see how many of the eight factors of persistence you lack. The analysis may lead to discoveries that will give you a new grip on yourself. 

Footnote:
What You Need to Do every single day:

Implementation is key!
Every day, ask yourself some simple but powerful questions:

1. What did I do well?
2. What could I have done better?
3. What do I need to change?
4. What did I learn from today?

Then take those experiences into tomorrow so you will, for sure, grow in life and business.

Remember:
Change does not happen just by chance, it happens by choice.
Choose wisely!


My Shows 

• Previous: Episode 4 - Your WHY is your GPS for success
• Next: Episode 6 - Getting to know yourself is a serious business

The need to connect with others, whether in your family or friends circle, or in business, is fairly clear. Do we really connect with them in the best way possible? Do we even know HOW to connect with them more effectively?

It comes down to: How well do you know yourself? ...Yes, that person looking back in the mirror every day? 

We have all heard the saying: ”You can’t give what you haven’t got” well, this talks directly into getting to know ‘what you’ve got’…who you are, and how YOU communicate.

In our episode about getting to know yourself, I will talk into your personality profile, how it helps you communicate much better, the way you learn, the way you lead, your strengths and even some of your weaknesses.

As a behavioural Analysis Consultant and Trainer, I regularly am amazed and pleasantly surprised how much people and those around them, benefit from this important knowledge.
If you are serious about your business, then getting to know yourself is another important part of the human aspect of your business. 
Join me next week! ☺
