This a story of DELIBERATE PERSEVERANCE. 

It is a story of a man was born in 1937. He was small in stature, struggled with a lisp which naturally lead to low self-esteem in the young man.

His father never made it past the third-grade. Nobody in his family had ever attended college. Against the opinions of most around him, the boy went to college and became a leader in his field despite many obstacles.  In 1966, at the age of 28, this man was married, out of work, And his wife was expecting their third child.

His process and deliberate perseverance has become both legend and a great model for anyone who is struggling with their mental health.

This 5 minute podcast outlines his story and process for deliberate perseverance. 

As most of the readers of this blog know, struggling with worry, stress or mental illness can be incredibly time consuming and destroys careers.  I ran across this presentation from Darren Hardy that has some great information and strategies for people looking to achieve more in their lives.  Experience has taught me that it can be difficult for someone who is struggling to process and extract the value in presentations like this so I have summarized it below for our readers. I have listened to this talk over 10 times this year and found new ideas each time.  It is my belief that a successful career will not mitigate mental illness, but if you are struggling with your chosen career it can compound any mental struggle.

Summary:

• Super Achievers have radical focus.
  
• They are selfish with their time and say 'NO' to things that are not worth their time.  Warren Buffett says 'No' 99% of the time.

• Don't do things efficiently that don't need to be done at all. (Peter Drucker)
• Focus on the 'Vital Few' things that drive success.  Become 'World Class' at the few things you do.
• What are you going to give up to get what you want?
• The size of your life will be determined by the size of the problems you solve. 
• Identify your VITAL FUNCTIONS and focus on executing them.
• Do fewer things.....but do them more often.
• If you have more than 3 priorities, you don't have any. (Jim Collins)
• Determine the TOP SKILL needed to achieve your primary goal.  Then buy 5 books/audio books on the subject.  
• The key to success is MASSIVE FAILURE.
