Personal Grit

Stick-to-it-ness is more than about not quitting. It’s also about sticking to the plan that you created for success. You will be tempted to keep trying new things, especially if you don’t see enough early wins. Instead of consistently changing course, seek the perspective of voices you trust and who have credibility to speak to what you need. For example, my 90 year old cousin is my favorite elder, but she isn’t the person to talk to for advice on developing a marketing strategy despite being one of my greatest cheerleaders. So, stick to your goals, take the risks to trust yourself, and find credible voices to listen advise you.
