Life skills = Business skills (Persistence)
I'm tired tonight. I've spent a lot of time in front of the computer this week doing a lot of dull, repetitive stuff that I need to do to promote my client's site, my site, my weblog, and my newsletter. I need a break.
I'll take one tonight and probably step away for the most part tomorrow, too. But dealing with all of the dull stuff reminds me of one more life skill that applies to business: persistence.
Successful people do things that they don't necessarily want to do. Successful people do things that push them outside their comfort zone. Successful people see the appealing results that the task will bring them closer to eventually accomplishing and persevere when others would see only the unpleasantness of the task and find an excuse to chuck it.
Hmm... Maybe on second thought, I'll push on a little farther tonight.
