The Marketers’ Senate

4. Ideas, goals and dreams have a shelf life.
The man in the fable took years traveling the
different roads, forgetting that his fiancée was
waiting for him to arrive to get married. After
years passed, she stopped waiting and ended up
marrying another. Author, John L. Mason said,
“Ideas have a shelf life; that’s why we must act
before the expiration date.” Getting started on
any new project is exciting because it’s new.
Persevering through the months ahead require
holding on to the why of doing it and involving
all of your senses to envision the victory now.
Imagine how you will feel one year from now when
you return for your annual physical and the
receptionist does a double take when you sign
in at the desk. Hear the accolades from your
primary physician as he reviews your chart and
compliments you on the progress you’ve made.
Do you carry your head a little higher? Do you
stand a little taller? Of course you do!
“To everything there is a time and season under
the sun.” Seize your time today. Know what you
want and stay focused on it.

5. The achievement of your goal affects other people.
The man in the fable did not consider the feelings
or the impact his delay would have on his fiancée.
Because he did not take her dreams and desire for
their relationship into account while on his journey,
he missed the opportunity to receive the joy of seeing
her smiling face after hours and days of anticipation
of the life they had planned together. Your success
will affect those in your sphere of influence. People
are watching you. More importantly, people want
you to succeed. You become their example of what
is possible and their encouragement to take similar
steps too! Know what you want and stay focused on it.

6. The results of your efforts will produce joy or
disappointment. The man in the fable realized how
much he lost by not persevering to attain his goal.
It left him alone, poor and friendless. What joy
are you delaying by not persevering with your goal?
What dream are you deferring by taking another
route? Count the cost. Is the price worth surrendering
what you carry in your heart? Author, H. Besser,
in his book, “Perseverance: How To Develop It” writes,
“Those who cannot persevere along one single line
that will guide them to one particular goal are all
like this man.” Know what you want and stay focused on it.
