  • QOD-095: The Temptation to Quit Will Be Greatest Just Before You Are About To Succeed - Bob Parsons
    Bob Parsons

    When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think. There's an old Chinese saying that I think is really true. It goes like this:

    "The Temptation to Quit Will Be Greatest Just Before You Are About To Succeed"

    ~~ Bob Parsons

    Wow, do you get frustrated because you've been trying to be successful at something and just don't seem to be able to get the goal you set? Do you think about quitting? Do you think you should just hand it up?

    That's the feeling our quote is all about. There is a book by Sharon Lechter and an old cartoon about being 3 feet from gold. A prospector is digging for gold and gets frustrated and drops his pick and just 3 feet from where he stops is a vein of Gold Nuggets like you wouldn't believe. The moral of the cartoon and the book is what this quote talks about.

    We will be just about to break loose and succeed, but we will be tempted to just quit. It will be greater the closer we are to succeeding.

    What we're trying to say is, DON'T QUIT! The more you feel it the closer you are to achieving your goals.

    Ignore the temptation! Just Keep Going! Keep Digging!

    Go Out Today and Kick Temptation in the Teeth! Never Quit!

    The More You Can Dream, The More You Can Do - Michael Korda
    Is this a quote about Dreaming or about Doing. I think it is about both. Michael Korda, an author and editor says the more you can dream, the more you can do. To wax philosophically here, Can means, to have the ability to. Is Korda saying "the more you have the ability to dream, the more you have the ability to do?"  And with that, what does he mean by Can Do?



    I think that he is referring to the ability to do something, not just do the actions needed to achieve the dream. I don't think this quote is about the doing as an action to the dream, but that by having more dreams, we can DO MORE in the sense of accomplishing more, being more. I think he is talking about Dreaming BIG DREAMS!

    I believe that Korda is saying Dream BIGGER Dreams, Dream MORE Dreams. He knows you can accomplish dreams and by dreaming more of them, we can do so much more that we think.

    But, that's just me.  What do you think?

    In today's digital world we are full of everything. There is so much "Stuff" coming in between television, social media, blogs, podcasts, radio, magazines, newspapers, and on the television screen, the movie screen, the tablet and the smartphone that it is hard to catch it all.

    What is it that you do?  What is it that you do Better than the others?  What is it that you do that sets you apart, that makes you Stand Out from the Crowd?

    If you want to be remembered, you have to Stand Out. That may just be providing the best value to your customers. When you Stand Out by providing Exceptional Customer Service, you will win!

    I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."       Muhammad Ali
    Training is tough. Doing it every day, is tough. But to be a Champion at what you want to do, you have to prepare, you have to train, you have to study, you have to become the best.  Ali was a Champion. Like most Champions in sports, they do what it takes to get to where they want to be. They put in the hours, the weeks, the years even,  of consistent training to Get The Goals They Set. They do what needs to be done.

    Why? They know that they have to Suffer Now to be able to live their life as a Champion. 

    Are you doing what it takes to Get The Goals You Set?  Are you putting in your time in the ring?  It won't come to you over night. You are a Champion! You are the one that gets up early to do what needs to be done. You are the one that stays up late to put in the time and energy to achieve your goals.



    You know your Why! You know the steps it takes to get to the top!

    You will live your life as a Champion.
    Don't Quit! Go Out Today and Make Today Your Day! Be A Champion!

    The bumps in life are like the those on a mountain. Without the bumps and obstacles on the side of the mountain you wouldn't be able to climb it. If the mountain were smooth, you would just slide down.

    Never Let the Fear of Striking Out Get in Your Way. - Babe Ruth
    Baseball players hate to strike out. It is a failure to get on base. Your OBP, or On Base Percentage is critical in today's game. I first heard of this statistic when I read the book Money Ball by Michael Lewis. My then boss and COO of our company, a numbers guy, told me about the book. I downloaded an audiobook of Money Ball and listened to it. I hadn't been interested in baseball in a while and this opened my eyes to it once again. The book was made into a movie. 

    If you like audiobooks like I do, you can get a Free copy of Money Ball or other books you choose from Audible along with a 30 Day Free Trial of their service by going to GoalGettingBook.com , just for being a listener of Goal Getting Podcast.

    The point of the book was that having a home run is great, but the more times you get on base, the better chance you have of scoring. The odds of hitting it out of the park are low. Swinging for the fences is good, and like goals we want to have that Big Hairy Audacious Goal, that Grand Slam, but sometimes you have to work at our goals one step at a time. 



    The more players you get on base in an inning, the better odds for scoring. Getting on base is getting hits (singles, doubles and triples), enduring through mediocre pitches to get a Base on Balls, a Walk, drawing a Balk, or even getting hit by the ball (ouch). That's taking it for the team. . . in the true sense, no?


    Striking out is often thought of as a failure. It's not good, but it happens. A pitcher will often try to paint the corners, or throw a curve or slider that looks like it's coming down the middle, but goes wide or low. Being able to watch the ball and waiting for the right pitch may result in 4 Balls before 3 Strikes and you are on base.  If 4 batters are able to do that, you have 1 run and 3 more in line to continue.

    If you are afraid of Striking Out, you may not be able to wait for that 4th ball. If you fear the strike out, you may swing at the low and inside pitch and Strike Out. . . . Or you may walk to First Base.

    Don't Fear the Strike Out and you may still achieve your goal of getting on base.

    Now, if the right pitch comes along, Swing for the Fences - Take the Big Hairy Audacious Swing and Score the Home Run!  But as Babe Ruth said,

    Never Let the Fear of Striking Out Get in Your Way.

    If you'd rather Read a book than listen, you can get Money Ball from Amazon
