"Perseverance, the Secret of Success" Article by Tina Zawila

This week Steve and I have been called upon for advice from clients on a range of different issues, however, there seems to be one underlying solution to the challenges most are facing…and that is perseverance.

Often when things aren’t going to plan, we start looking for an easier option, or an alternative solution, and sometimes our search reveals an attractive and viable substitute to our original path. 

However, there are other times, when simply persevering is what is required to reach our goals.

As Winston Churchill said, “If you are going through hell, keep going.”

There are certainly some businesses and individuals facing some tough times at the moment and some important decisions need to be made.  These decisions shouldn’t be reached lightly or without consideration of all of the alternatives available to you. 

We also strongly suggest that you seek advice or a second opinion before making your final decision.  Sometimes, you may simply be too close to the situation to see all the alternatives, or you may not be aware of all of the consequences of your decisions. 

Whilst the theme of this article is perseverance, we are not suggesting that you should never walk away from something that is not working for you.  Sometimes you need to let go of something to make way for a better opportunity.  However, it’s important to make an informed decision, before throwing in the towel – you may be on the cusp of the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.

Either way, once your decision has been made, commit to what needs to be done, the actions that you need to take, any sacrifices that need to be made, and persevere until you succeed.
