Story about perseverance

This past weekend my business partner and I traveled to St. Louis, Missouri to attend a company training event. My network marketing company offers leadership training that is vital for long term success. The anticipation to travel to a city we hadn’t been to before made the trip all that much more exciting.

Our trip began at 2 o’clock AM as we packed the car with a laptop, suitcases and our notepads. The two hour trip to the airport flew by as we chatted about our business goals. We talked about the team-mates we would be reconnecting with from around the country that is more like family than business associates.

The first flight out of Sacramento was at 6 o’clock AM. Since we fly stand-by seats are not guaranteed. Instead, we wait to see if there are any paying passengers that are late, don’t show or cancel. Unfortunately, everyone arrived on time and the first flight out left for Phoenix, Arizona, and their connecting flights. Our perseverance was about to be tested early.

I’ll not bore you with our entire day spent in Sacramento. Just know that for the next 14 ½ hours we worked on our computers and iPhones waiting. Tired and anxious we waited at the gate for the final flight of the day.

Finally, our names were called and we boarded the plane, headed for Phoenix. Walking down the jet bridge perseverance quotes as this one came to mind.

Much to our dismay we soon learned after landing that there were no connecting flights to St. Louis until morning. We were disappointed but our perseverance didn’t allow for us to turn around and go home.

Instead, we found a quiet terminal and settled in trying to get a good night’s sleep. Have you ever slept in an international airport? Let’s just say I’ll never complain about a hotel bed again!

My friend and I got about four hours of sleep. (if you call lying down with one eye open, one foot on your computer and your head on your purse sleeping…okay we slept) haha! Now that is perseverance at it’s finest.

I was inspired when I woke to record the video below just for you. This is what a leader does, they persevere. When your why is big enough you won’t quit. You will continue persevering, doing something despite difficulties or delays in achieving success.

 

A real-life example of perseverance

We made the first flight out to St. Louis the next morning. Both of us were excited at the prospect of making the first day of training on time. There is more to the story but I’ll leave that for another article.

Just know that to be a successful leader you will have to dig deep; your perseverance will be tested time and again. You will need to know that your reward is worth all the perseverance you endure along your journey to your goal.
