A ridiculous claim has repeatedly been made for the value of persistence in a small business Nick Foligno Youth Jersey , which boils down to, "If you persist, you will succeed." The problem with untrue claims is that when they are rejected, any related truth is rejected also. So let us sort out the truths and untruths about persistence.
Starting a small business usually turns out to be harder than the owner anticipated. Almost all small businesses go through financial strains, especially when beginning, and take far more of the owner's time than he imagined he could supply. Frustration and discouragement are common. If your business does not fit this mold, but is succeeding easily David Savard Youth Jersey , good for you, and keep on doing what you are doing. Otherwise, read on.
The two obvious truths relating to persistence are 1) if you give up, you lose, and 2) you cannot give up and win. The only other two possibilities are persist and lose, and persist and win. Logically, then Oliver Bjorkstrand Youth Jersey , there is only one way to win, and that is to persist. Persistence does not guarantee success, but it provides the chance.
How does one turn persistence into success? One major action will do it.
Keep Improving
Every aspect of your business, from production to sales to finances, can continually be made better, as in more efficient and more effective. In short, quality can be increased. All the principles of quality come into play in every area Ryan Murray Youth Jersey , but the most important is the first: Quality is an Attitude. You have to want and intend improvement, across the board.
Persistence without improvement is spinning your wheels until you have dug them into a rut too deep to drive out of.
Two other major principles of quality are Learn and Fix. Here is where the bulk of your persistence time will be spent.
The more you learn about the various aspects of your business, the better you will be at them. No matter how busy you are, your future success depends on spending some time every day on learning. Most of your learning can be from articles and ebooks on the internet. Some will be from books and audio or video tutorials. We are not talking about learning from experience; that falls under the next section. We mean learning the theoretical and practical information about what to do and how to do it for every function in your business.
Then there is the School of Hard Knocks: learning by experience. You make a mistake, or you do not get the results you expected from an action, and you learn from it. First you fix it, to keep overall quality up Sonny Milano Youth Jersey , and then you figure out why it happened, and how to prevent it in the future.
What is the enemy of persistence? Discouragement. Whether you feel discouraged by how long it is taking to make progress, or because people are actively discouraging you, the best answer to discouragement is to acknowledge its presence, then spit in its face. Persistence almost always takes longer than you want it to. Discouragement is just a temporary reminder of that fact.
Persistence alone does not guarantee success. Persistence with continual improvement does.>Distance Learning Degrees: The Flexible Route To Higher EducationPosted by nick_niesen on October 27th, 2010
More students around the world are taking advantage of distance learning degrees and degree programs, thanks to the Internet and the willingness of educators to recognize the fact that many people can't attend traditional school campuses due to work or family obligations. While such issues used to keep hundreds Riley Nash Youth Jersey , if not thousands, out of college, such restrictions of time and location no longer remain the key issue when it comes to higher education.
The transition to such opportunities has been a long time in coming, and is long overdue. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of lost earning wages due to lack of college degrees will no longer hold employees back from obtaining the jobs of their dreams, or from pursuing higher goals within organizations. The benefits of attending online schools are obvious, and detractors have little to say. As little as a decade ago, the idea of attending an online school brought snickers or raised eyebrows. People believed that distance learning education programs were just for those wishing to pursue dental or medical assistant careers Cam Atkinson Youth Jersey , though that was, and still isn't, the case.
Major universities around the world now offer online coursework as well as degrees in just about every field of employment, including medical, education, and law enforcement careers, just to name a few. A well-rounded and accredited online college offers students the same quality and coursework as a traditional brick and mortar college Alexander Wennberg Youth Jersey , without having to attend classes on campus. In rural areas, or for people obligated to full time jobs and family responsibilities, online college coursework is a blessing.
Such schools are held to the same high standards as a traditional campus, and must pass an accreditation program just as thorough, if not more so, than those given to campuses around the country and the world. Accreditation experts look at student services, coursework materials Zach Werenski Youth Jersey , testing methods and financial records to ascertain whether or not any school is able to offer expert and qualified instructors and coursework materials. For those seeking information on online distance learning colleges and coursework opportunities, an Internet search will bring up hundreds of online campuses. When narrowing down your list of possibilities, keep important things at the top of your list. First, are student services available, and are you going to be able to talk to a live person during normal business hours? Will instructors be available online or via email to answer specific questions and issues concerning coursework, testing and lecture schedules?
Of course, financing is also important Sergei Bobrovsky Youth Jersey , and while one may expect to pay a little more to attend an online degree program, the extra cost more than ma.
