How do you do in 100 days what others seem to struggle to do in a year?
Be relentless.
It’s absolutely true.
In a time where so many people are succumbing to the voices, actions, and attitudes which indicate so clearly that things just can’t be done, those that get things done are relentless.Â
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about being bullheaded or stupidly consistent in approach.Â
I’m talking about being relentless in adapting, in pushing, in nurturing, in educating, in collaborating, in facilitating and in smiling.Â
I’m talking about doing all the things necessary to overcome the lethargy and dissonance in an organization.Â
Bureaucrats thrive on creating roadblocks that encourage people to stop trying.
Pundits thrive on creating so much negativism that those that are positive give up not wanting to prolong the attacks.
Skeptics thrive on finding those reasons to say, “I told you so”.
But winners overcome the bureaucrats, pundits and skeptics.
And winners are relentless!
