Perseverance - from coat hanger to CEO!


I loved this video where Andrea Jung, CEO at Avon talks about the importance of perseverance. Sometimes things seem pointless or hard or just plain boring and we are tempted to quit, however, success is often dependent on us keeping going regardless. Here are some tips to help you keep going:

1) Focus on the outcome you are trying to achieve not the current 'pain'
2) Establish little milestones you can celebrate along the way - getting a paper accepted by the board, good feedback from a pilot programme, completing a video production
3) Get tips from those who have gone before you, revel in their war stories and tales of overcoming adversity
4) Keep your energy high, ensure you take time to relax and recover your energy levels
5) Never say 'if' say 'when'
