    About this Episode

    Hey everyone,

    As I was heading home from vacation, one thought came to my mind, and I asked myself why I haven’t discussed this with my listeners yet. So, I found some sticky notes in my backpack and started writing, until I used up almost all available sticky notes. What I was thinking and writing about was how important and critical hard work and persistence are to everyone’s’ success. Let me know what you think by sending me an email to: Alex@heartandmindofaleader.com

    In this episode I am discussing the following points:

     

    • The importance of really hard work and persistence to get you where you want to be in life
    • How hard work and strong persistence can be underestimated and why many people give up on their goals and dreams
    • Persistence – a way to get from point A to point B
    • Driving force – fuel – that moves you forward
    • Questions to ask yourself before you begin the journey towards your goal
    • My personal example of hard work and persistence
    • Tools, Resources and Action Items to help you along the way
