PERSEVERANCE

There are some people who are just naturally talented at seemingly everything. You know those types of people?

The ones that just make it look so easy. The ones who alway have amazing opportunities and from your side of the fence is seems like their life is pretty sweet.  While there are some that come by success through privilege, what I have come to realize is the majority of successful people have worked diligently and persevere through the toughest of circumstances, rarely complaining and always staying optimistic and positive despite their situation.

There are many things that each one of us is naturally talented at but there are many things that through hard work, perseverance and a winning mindset can take you farther you ever thought.

Here are five steps to keep you on track and lead yourself more effectively.

1. Know what you want. You'll never make it without passion and a vision.
2. Get good at it. Develop ways to increase excellence at it even it is one step at a time.
3. Celebrate along the way.  Each milestone deserves recognition but don't forget the end goal.  
4. Set a timeline It's so easy to get distracted.
5. Keep yourself accountable. There is nothing better than to have someone to keep you on track
