Retirement Wealth Requires Persistence

Retirement Wealth Requires Persistence

In the first 4 installments, I spoke about the importance of VISION, IDEA, PLAN and ACTION.

Is that enough to achieve your dream retirement lifestyle? Well, yes, if you are instantly successful.

But many of us aren’t.

It sometimes takes a couple or 3 or 4 years to really work through the kinks to get a successful online information marketing business up and running and making the money you need to retire rich that will sustain you over time.

What most people fail to do is be persistent in their actions.

They come out of the gate all a glow with enthusiasm, rushing around to do stuff, but then at the first sign of adversity they fold up their tent and quit.

That is the last thing they should do.

You only fail when you stop trying to succeed, when you stop learning from those action steps that did not produce the result you wanted and replacing them with new action steps to achieve your retirement wealth goals.

I remember reading a passage in a book by Robert Collier or Napolean Hill about the power of persistence and it is true.

Think about this for a moment. At the end of the day, success is NOT about how smart you are – the colleges and universities of the world are full of very smart people many of whom have no money. There are a lot of wealthy people who have successful businesses and income streams that have just average intelligence. And, it really isn’t about luck either. Many people who win at gambling and at Lotto ultimately lose all their winnings.

So, if it isn’t brains and it isn’t luck, what is the important key that separates those with money and without? Persistence. Well, actually, it really is all 5 elements. But you can’t get there without persistence.

If you are really looking for retirement wealth, then embrace all 5 elements to determine what your dream retirement lifestyle will look like, a key idea about how to get their, a plan for achieving the goal, action steps everyday to accomplish the goal and the persistence over time to succeed.
