Starting Slow, Finishing Strong

Persistence is a very good thing. When your day starts out slow you have to keep going. Having a work ethic is one thing but also having patience is helpful too. When you have a daily goal to reach it can get frustrating when things are not happening.

Knowing how and when to make adjustments can help you get to where you want to go. Today I was at less than 50% of my daily goal. After lunch I made adjustments, found a new channel and stayed there to my benefit.

In the movie Galaxy Quest the line “Never Give Up, Never Surrender” has a lot of truth to it. It has eternal wisdom. Whether you are trying to reach your goal or you are fighting for a cause you have to be persistent and learning how to finish strong especially when you start slow.

The Thing About Sticking To It

In what I do for a living I like to get a quick start so that filling my quota the rest of the day is a little easier. When that happens its great but you can’t always rely upon it to happen. No matter what you do sticking to it is the best thing you can do. Even if you reach your goal for the day keep on going and give a little extra. You never know when that added production can help your cause down the road. Remember to work smarter and when necessary work harder. You got this.
