Chapter 9 – Persistence
I would like to share with you how I persisted to
move my business forward today.
I drove to the Pentiction which is a town about 10 miles from where
I live and on the drive I said my self talk which I borrowed from the
self talke Michael shared with us yesterday.
So all the way as I drove to Pentiction I said: I am attracting people
who are interested in getting “filled in the name of my Product”.
Hills tells us that persistence is based on definite causes, some are these:
a. Definiteness of purpose. My purpose was to go out and
hand out my business cards, which is actually a product card find some
new customers and partners.
b. Desire: My desire was to gain some contacts, drum up new business
and get myself known.
c. Self-reliance. I knew in my heart I could do it.
d. Definiteness of Plans. My plan was to go to town and go to every
business and introduce myself and my product.
e. Accurate knowledge. I knew my product, I had viewed how others
had promoted it and I just needed to make it mine and take ownership.
f. Co-operation. I would introduce myself and tell my prospective customer
what I was there for and I had their co-operation to tell them about it.
g. Will-power. I knew I could do it, I knew it would work and I just had to
put in the action.
h. Habit. I created the habit from going to each business and talking to
the person there and doing it over and over again.
What did I learn?
1. Do not accept their initial reaction. Some thought they knew what the
product was but I would explain what it did for me and they
were then interested in knowing how it would help them.
2. Be prepared for some surprises. Mine were all positive.
3. I figured out how to make it work for me. I claimed it and made it mine.
I did not procrastinate I just went out there and did it and it turned
out to be a lot of fun. I met some wonderful people, handed out
87 cards, sold some product, and created for the future some
prospective customers and a prospective partner for the future.
It was a very successful day.
