Everybody has big ideas. They want to achieve something worthwhile in their lives. We look at impossible task and say that I can do this. The strange thing about that is that most people if they stuck with it they would accomplish the task. But like great ideas, there are people around us that say you can’t do this. You don’t have the money or the education to accomplish that goal. If you listen to negative people, you will never accomplish anything.

In a business plan, you start with a one year plan. Then you go to a five year plan and change as your business grows. And if you are energetic and are willing to persist in the plan, it will work. The difference is if you will be persistent in your endeavor.

Counting the cost starts when you are young and see the world and your future as open and waiting for you. Then you begin to build your way to your goal. First is your education. It doesn’t need to be formal. You can work your way up to a goal. If you are persistent. Then as new avenues present themselves, you can take advantage of the opportunity. Always being mindful that you take one step at a time. Complete the task in front of you, then move on to the next one. Always counting the cost.

Everybody learns as the grow into an opportunity. You may not have the resources to move on to the next task. But through persistence you can achieve you goals. Never think that just because you don’t have all the money in the world to do what you want, doesn’t mean that you are not successful. Success is not measure in money. And don’t let people convince you that only money gauges success. Monetary success will come with your persistence.

Count the cost in everything. But be persistent in you education, social relationships, business adventures and family life. Never let people convince you that you can’t accomplish your goal. Strive for excellence in everything. And guess what will happen, you will succeed.

Crain Blanchard.
