In this episode, I delve into the critical role of perseverance in achieving long-term success. Drawing from personal experiences and insights from business titans like Jeff Bezos and Henry Ford, I explore how to cultivate this essential trait.

In this episode, I break down the components of persistence and offer practical strategies for developing unwavering determination. Learn why traditional approaches to stress management might be holding you back and how to reframe your mindset for lasting success.

Learn:

• How to set clear, achievable goals that fuel your persistence
• Why understanding your 'why' is crucial for long-term motivation
• The unexpected link between stress and inaction
• How to leverage biographies and historical examples to boost your mindset
