How to be a leader #3 Dont even think about giving up!
So you want to give up do you?! You want to quit, can't take one more step, you have nothing left not a ounce of drive or energy to do any more!? I know where your at, I know how it feels. Maybe you have not made a penny in your company, maybe you just don't have the money to start. Or maybe there is a different resion that i have not listed. Before you give up i want to make sure you know what your giving up on! Your giving up on not only your self, but your dreams the things you want out of life and if you have anyone on your team your giving up on them as well. I want you to think about the work quit for a bit, just saying that word makes me want to go back out there and fail one more time... I don't know how many times i have had some one say NO ill be honest every time I hear that WORD its like a drug i want to try and get one more...!!! So don't you dear think about Giving up! Never give up ever!

That's right..giving up is not an option. Another phrase that gets me going is, "You can't do that.." What! Don't get me started.
ReplyDeleteFor sure! We should not negotiate our future based on circumstances or things people say to us.

Hi Arlen, Excellent post as always.

You're so right, Arlen. There's nothing worse than wondering what might have been. In this industry there are many examples of people who were on the verge of quitting and then, literally the next day, their business transformed and became successful. The quitters will never know if that could have been them. Regards, Kevin
ReplyDeleteSo true, Arlen. It's all about failing-forward. Learning what NOT to do is just as important as what to do. Fail forward - just don't give up! Thanks for sharing. - Debbie Parker
ReplyDeleteGreat post Arlen. For those that get to the point where they want to give up, it could very well be that they are ever so close to the success that they intend to reach.
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin' this series on what sort of character it takes to be seen as (no...) to become a leader... lookin' forward to the coming posts
