Good Old Fashioned Grit
Greatness is not where we stand, but in what direction we are going. We must sail sometimes with the wind, sometimes against it, but sail we must; and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Business isn’t easy, not that it ever was. In today’s constantly shifting market place the winners – always hopeful by nature – are those with the courage to change and adapt to new conditions, always with an eye out for new opportunities.
That sometimes means moving out of their comfort zone, being honest and discarding what doesn’t work. Rather than dwelling on past successes and previous glories, they focus on what they can do rather than on what they think they can’t.
Added to all of that, is a large portion of good, old-fashioned grit.
