Facing Resistance - You Must!
Our apologies for being behind in our blog posts here.
Ever since the super success of “Bridging Heart and Marketing I” in February we’ve been challenged by that success! Yes - challenged by success. And on many levels - which we will use this blog to devote our attention to from now on.
On the surface, we’ve been challenged by a huge increase in business phone calls, deadlines, and conflicting priorities. On deeper levels - well, we’ll go into that in future posts.
For now - we want to share this piece by Seth Godin on Facing Resistance
“There’s a myth that all you need to do is outline your vision and prove it’s right - then, quite suddenly, people will line up and support you.
“In fact, the opposite is true. Remarkable visions and genuine insight are always met with resistance. And when you start to make progress, your efforts are met with even more resistance. Products, services, career paths … whatever it is, the forces for mediocrity will align to stop you, forgiving no errors and never backing down until it’s over.
“If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it’s unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.”
