143. PERSISTENCE: WHY SOME PEOPLE KEEP GOING (AND OTHERS QUIETLY STOP)

Season 1 Episode 143 Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Most people think persistence is a personality trait. Fifteen years of running creative businesses has quietly convinced me otherwise and I'd like to share why.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • Why the real reason some people keep going has little to do with willpower or grit
  • My Selfridges story: two years of no and what actually got me through and into store
  • Why some no's take a little piece of you, and others don't 
  • The honest question to ask yourself when keeping going starts to feel exhausting 
  • Three patterns from real creative businesses that reveal where the answer actually lives
