Persistence, 4 simple steps.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Today I want to talk about what Napoleon Hill said about persistence. Okay, this is one of my favorite sections of the old book, Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill.

This is one of those books, it's not for everybody, in terms of it's not always th easiest read. It has a very different style of language and everything else in it but it has so much good stuff.

It's one of those that I have to have a physical copy of, there's a lot of books, I don't have physical copies of I'll read things online or I'll have an audiobook copy.

This is one that I'd like to go back to over and over again because I'm always catching new stuff. And usually, someone else tells me about it, which is a funny thing. My friend Joe had brought this up to me, Joe Melling out there.

He had brought up not to me specifically, but he was talking to a group of people about how to achieve consistency.

He didn't talk about that a second, I'm gonna I'm going to cover what he pointed out of this book. First, I wanted to first remind you about my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business, you can get a free copy at AmazonProofBook.com.

Endurance, grit, perseverance, stamina, tenacity, own good action words, you know, constancy doggedness, follow through into indefatigably indefatigability, I've never I never know quite how to say that word.

It's not used as often pluck in resolution. Those are the words for persistence. Get up and go get them to type of word, which is it's a fine word. But there are other ways I like thinking about this.

One of the words I tend to use more often is consistent, versus persistent. And so I was looking up, I would say, what was the what's the difference between these words?

This is pretty interesting. I found a little graphic that says, consistent versus persistent. Consistent. Well, let's talk about persistent first persistent means continuing to do something, despite difficulties and challenges, which is good as you know, can I kind of get you going implies challenges, opposition, and difficulties.

It the connotations, connotations, like unrelenting, determined and resolute, okay, that's what it's giving off. It's very much at persistence, very much an action word, you know, I, I picture up, you know, the guy with a sword going up against a, you know, Dragon or going up against the thorny bush or whatever, I think you know, that the prince in Sleeping Beauty that at the end was just going all again, is just as persistent.

Persistent, consistent has other connotations and I think it applies to most people most of the time if you can find a way to b...
