“Be like a postage stamp. Stick to it until you get there” - Bob Proctor

I recently had a small situation that occurred at work that truly reiterated the importance of dedication. As well as the importance of patience. I had an employee who had worked for me for about one year and one day, just recently, got up and left, initially instantly resigning because he had found employment else where. The reasoning behind this was that he was not expecting to jump through hoops and obstacles for an opportunity to become a Sales Manager and be given his own location to run. Initially, an opportunity he had wished for since beginning his employment with the company. I had multiple conversations with him regarding this and made it very clear that he was the top candidate in the running for the position but clearly wasn't enough. To make a long story short, initially he resigned in a very unexpectedly and unprofessionally. A week later he contacted me pleading that he had made a mistake and wanted to return. Upon his return his seniority was reset and lost his spot as the top candidate for the Sales Manager position. These were consequences that he had suffered because he had been impatient and had lost the dedication he has had.

So with this story I hope the message is very clear. If you truly wish to accomplish greatness you have to ensure you have the dedication and the drive to take the steps needed to make your dream come true. You have ensure you posses the patience you need to reach the results you seek to obtain. Failure is highly possible but quitting is by far the worse. With Love, By Melissa Marie.
