Progress Takes Persistence

Training, Sales & Leadership, Motivational Sales Speaker 

“Progress does not demand perfection, only persistence.”
– Dean Lindsay (Author and Motivational Sales Speaker Based in Dallas, Texas)

We can’t let a misguided desire for perfection stop us.

We don’t have to be perfect to Be Progress. We can always improve our technique, improve our plan and our actions.

The hardest aspect of goal achievement is not in crafting a goal or even in knowing how to achieve it. The real challenge is staying connected to the passion and understanding of WHY.

Understanding the reasons behind our goal channels the passion in the right direction, or at least in some direction. This concept is simple, but not easy.

Don’t remind yourself about a goal.
Remind yourself of the benefits of the goal.

We don’t forget about our goals;
we forget WHY they are our goals.
