Principle 6
Developing a “No Matter What” Mentality
I will go anywhere, provided it is forward.
—David Livingston
In this chapter you will learn how to develop a “No Matter What” mentality. This mantra has become a part of my DNA ever since hearing Les Brown speak on this subject back in 1990. As a business owner, you will face obstacles and adversity. But in that very situation is where you'll learn how to proceed and move forward even when you become a victim of Murphy's Law: “If anything can go wrong, it will.” You will learn how to predetermine your future and never let rejection stop you in your tracks. You will learn what it takes to become unstoppable and to keep moving toward your vision, no matter what's happening around you. There's always a way, and in this chapter I will share with you how you too can develop a “No Matter What” mentality as you pursue any worthwhile dream or goal!
