What Is The Key To Success In Business? – It Is One Simple Word!

There are countless factors necessary to be successful in business. But there van be only one key. What is the key to success in business? The answer is without a doubt PERSISTENCE!

Napoleon Hill in Chapter IX in Think and Grow Rich, defines persistence as the sustained effort to induce FAITH. I quote the first paragraph of this chapter as follows:

Persistence is an essential factor in the procedure of transmuting desire into its monetary equivalent. The basis of persistence is the power of WILL.

When pursuing your goal to create wealth for the purposes of financing your dream, you will face huge challenges. Most people retreat when the going gets tough. Only those who have FAITH they can succeed will summon their will power to push forward.

Even when failure after failure faces them, they know that the only way to overcome failure is to be persistent to find the solutions that will lead to success.

The opposite is also true. The lack of persistence leads to failure.

8 Factors To Persistence

Napoleon Hill lays out eight factors necessary to train yourself to be persistent. These are:

1. Definiteness of Purpose
2. Desire
3. Self Reliance
4. Definiteness of Plans
5. Accurate Knowledge
6. Cooperation
7. Will Power
8. Habit

Habit

Although habit may be the last factor listed above, it is in my opinion the most important factor in becoming persistent. When we do not consciously instill good work habits, bad habits fill that void. Hence, we must change our habits if we are going to achieve our goals. What do you think?

The lessons taught in Think and Grow Rich are designed to help us exchange our bad habits for good.

You Have One Million Dollars In Your Bank Account

For a moment try to imagine you have One Million Dollars in your account. If you cannot wrap our mind around $1,000,000,000.00, pick whatever number is big enough to give you that a feeling of financial freedom. For some, One Hundred Thousand Dollars maybe all it takes. Just pick a number.

If you knew a sure way to earn that money in say five years, but the road would be hard and strewn with small failures along the way, would you do it?

10 Hypothetical Reasons Why People Do Not Make The Effort

I’d like to list 10 reasons why you may not make the effort and see if you agree with me.

1. You do not have faith that you can succeed.
2. Everything you did in the past never worked out.
3. You are not willing to wait that long
4. You need a lot of money NOW to solve your financial problems
5. You do not have the time necessary to do the work
6. Too many distractions come up in your life
7. No money to invest in your pursuit of wealth
8. Family members and friends convince you that you’re wasting your time
9. Your life is comfortable enough to remove any urgency
10. It is easy to procrastinate

There may be more, but these 10 reasons seem the most common ones. Can you see yourself fit into one or more of these situations?

How does one overcome these hurdles?

By leaning how to be MORE PERSISTENT!

If Think and Grow Rich can teach you that skill, and yes it is a behavioral skill, what is stopping you from reading it and applying the lessons it teaches?

Book Study

Instead of just reading this book, why not engage in a book study process? That is exactly what I did with other members of the organization that teaches entrepreneurs to become successful.

A side benefit of doing a communal book study was we created a natural Master Mind group. This series of Think and Grow Rich posts on my website provides you a golden opportunity to conduct your own book study routine by accessing these posts, chapter by chapter.
