This is a YouTube video titled "The SECRET To Achieving Your Most AMBITIOUS GOALS | Allison Maslan" featuring a motivational talk by Allison Maslan recorded in March 2016. In this talk, Allison shares her insights on persistence, resilience, and the mindset needed to overcome challenges in business and life, emphasizing the importance of determination and bouncing back from setbacks to achieve meaningful success.
So persistence, to me, is that when you believe in something so deeply, I mean, to the core of your being, that you have to continue to go after it again and again and again like there is no other option. In fact, when it gets tough, I think that's when most people quit. But to me, that's where the magic happens because that's where you dig deep and you ask yourself, how badly do I really want this? You know, am I willing to go around the wall, clim over the wall? Because there is always a way. In fact, when someone says no to me, honestly, that's when I dig my heels in further. I put my detective hat on and I look for clues and I analyze because I know if I just stay with it and stay with it, that I'm gonna find that passage through it'. And I believe that so many business owners, they get into business, they're all excited and they're passionate about it. And, you know, there's that kind of newlywed period where you're. You're kind of on your high and then, you know, things go haywire, things go chaotic because business is not in a straight line. It's kind of all over the place. And, you know, I always say you have to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. That part where everything is shaking and it's chaotic and you just gotta. You gotta hang on. And soon that chaos kind of becomes your norm. It's not uncomfortable anymore. And then you're able to just flow with it and ride the wave. But you gotta stick with it. If it's that important to you, if it means something to you, and you're, you know, we're all here, I believe, to share our gifts, to make a difference, to leave our legacy. You know, we want to have a nice life. We want to take care of our families and the people that we love. And that means so much to us. And it's even bigger than that. I think we're here to make a difference. We're here to move humanity forward. How can you back down? Can you back down when it's so important? You know, we all have a thicker skin than we think. I call it the bounce back factor. You know, how quickly do you get back up once you're knocked down? You know, successful people have a smaller window of that. And it's not like I'm superhuman by any means. You know, I was a single mom for 12 years, and I know what it's like to have those moments where you're like, oh, my God, can I go on? But you just do. You bounce back because it means something to you. And I believe because I have been so passionate about business and wanting to make a difference, that my daughter is now forging her own path to me. That's what it's all about. Persistence. It.
