TENACITY OF PURPOSE

 

I built a conglomerate and emerged the richest Blackman in the world in 2008 but it didn’t happen overnight. It took me thirty years to get to where I am today. Youths of today aspire to be like me but they want to achieve it overnight. It’s not going to work. To build a successful business, you must start and dream big. In the journey of entrepreneurship, tenacity of purpose is supreme. - ALIKO DANGOTE.

Luck is tenacity of purpose.-ELBERT HUBBARD.

Tenacity is persistency; the quality of being able to hold on to something. It is the determination to continue. Alphas are purpose driven individuals. They live for a reason. Purpose is the reason why the action is done; it is concisely the aim or intention of something.

Tenacity of purpose is simply making the end picture or reason for the actions motivate you to hold on to continue despite the challenges faced in the process.

As discussed previously on vision and goals, you are to hold on to the vision religiously and work towards achieving every item on your list.

Your purpose is being birthed out of your passion or inherent strengths and characteristics. Individually or as entrepreneurs, when we discover our purpose in life every other thing follows. Purpose discovery eases the way and helps us place our focus right. Purpose driven individuals rise ten times faster than others.

HOW TO BE TENACIOUS

HEAD: Hey, Eliminate All Distractions.

Distractions are those noise telling you a million reasons why you cannot actualize your goals. They reveal your weakness to you and condemn you for it. An alpha removes all stumbling blocks, breaks all barriers, removes all distraction or reduces them all to barest minimum.

Look deep into yourself, what are those forces or things you see as a limiting factor or a subject of discouragement? Come up with means to reduce or remove them totally. If it involves you moving totally out, do it!

Feed the FOCUS:

Once you have cleared up the distractions, channel all your strength to the focus. Remember the focus is your purpose; get it done by any positive means necessary. In feeding this focus have hand written goals, proper plan, a daily routine, time schedule, high tenacity and periodic reminders.

Alphas are focused on the goal. They see it as a motivation not to quit. It fosters and fuels the zeal to always act.

Fight for what you want, never let anything distract you. Get up and act!
