Vitamins for the Mind – Perseverance/Persistence

Vitamins for the Mind
by Jim Rohn

Perseverance/Persistence

It takes time to build a corporate work of art. It takes time to build a life. And it takes time to develop and grow. So give yourself, your enterprise, and your family the time they deserve and the time they require.

Americans are incredibly impatient. Someone once said that the shortest period of time in America is the time between when the light turns green and when you hear the first horn honk.

The twin killers of success are impatience and greed.

How long should you try? Until.

Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you've signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.

"Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn.

Why your mother-in-law secretly thinks you are a loser.

"Why your mother-in-law secretly thinks you are a loser."
Great headline, eh?
If you don't capture your prospect's imagination and attention with a great first sentence or headline ... you don't have a prospect.
Always think hard about what your first sentence will be. Your career depends on it.
And now for some examples:
* "We repair what your husband fixed."
* "College professor shows students how to break the job habit."
* "How to breathe clean air 24 hours a day."
* "The 'fat secret' bodybuilders don't tell their fans."
* "Lose one pound, lose the second pound free."
* "Don't tell your co-workers about this early retirement tip."
* "How to make your dentist take 60% off your bill."
* "Why middle managers die broke and depressed."
Remember, first sentences are used by your competition. Everyone is vying for your prospect's money.
