Success is NOT instant gratification
Key to Success
ONE DAY DECORATING PRESENTS…We Dare You to Succeed!
DAY TWO
I need to lose weight. It took me a number of years to add this extra 20 lbs. to my body but the problem is…it will take quite some time to take it off. I want it now, I want it quickly, and I want it easy. I want it without really working for it, I want it to happen and not interfere with my day to day life. (or my daily can of Pepsi)
That is how most people feel about success. They want it instantly; they want it easy, and without really working for it. But success is patient, even if you aren’t. It sits there quietly waiting for you until it determines that you deserve it. Not when you decide you deserve it, when it decides you deserve it. After all, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings.
So how do you rub shoulders with success? Don’t expect instant gratification-it simply doesn’t happen that way. You employ perseverance and dedication to a clear cut goal. (see day one) To attain that, each day, you need to touch one new person and tell them about your business.
