The biggest rule I have in life is to be kind to my future self and to do good deeds.So throughout my life even though I made tremendous mistakes, financially as well as other mistakes, I have always been kind to my future self and done good deeds.I always try to be the best person I can be with good intent.Even when I was a salesperson, a manipulator, a scarce person in a competitive space, I still was a good person and I still was kind to my future self and did everything that I could do to help elevate others, to elevate myself.Those types of activities can really enhance you and create endless opportunities for yourself.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

What is the difference between patience and persistence?By itself, patience is just the ability to tolerate the passing of time. Don’t sit at home dreaming about what you want high on your mom’s couch, broke, sick and alone. What you really want is to blend patience with persistence.Persistence is the ability to push and push and push and push. It's the ability to be stubborn in the best possible sense of the word. These people are consistent and persistent in the pursuit of their potential, even if they aren’t always enjoying it.Defining Patience, Persistence, and PerseverancePatience is the ability to accept or tolerate delay, difficult situations, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. Basically, the ability to find the light, the love, and lessons within those challenges. Persistence is a fairly simple concept revolving around the ability to continue on. Meanwhile, perseverance refers to one’s determination. Those who are determined can maintain steady belief or efforts in spite of discouragement or difficulty. Those individuals pursue learning those lessons rather than quitting, finding the light and love in what others might deem “failure”.While these terms are linked, there are subtle differences. Some will say that the words persistence and perseverance seem to indicate action, while patience is inaction. I am here to tell you this is absolutely not true!Follow the Road to Revenue Playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2xBCPHs9IWy5kYPO94rJ0N?si=3936604f462342ddTweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

Study all the different companies and all the different types of positions that those companies are hiring.
