One of my favorite quotes is “Winners never quit and quitters never win”.
The principle of Stic-to-itiveness is not a secret to anyone but seems to be difficult to apply.
Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton tells the story in an interview that at the beginning of his career he wanted to quit. He told his coach that he hated being booed by the fans, was mad at the media criticism and wanted to quit.
“Fran,” said Grant “Everybody wants to quit, it’s OK to want to quit, but it is not OK to quit.
Why is it so hard to master this valuable skill, stick-to-itiveness? It is a trait of character, you have to develop it, make it your own. You have to build it in you. It does not come naturally. The recipe is simple and very effective. Here it is. Build stick-to-itiveness incrementally.
If you have stuck to anything in your life, remind yourself and believe you can do it in other area of your life. Maybe you have been good in sport or following a diet or have succeeded in College.
Devoid of any talent you can win big just by sticking to doing the right thing.
We all start very bad, then bad, then OK, then good, then excellent, then an expert. Repetition is the mother of learning. How true!
There is a little gain by quitting.
Successful people are not generally born with great talent. They develop great talents and turn their talent into greatness. They always start doing things that are uncomfortable; out of their comfort zone. They got laughed at. But you know what? Nobody is going to step in their shoes. People are generally too scared. Therefore, you should spent your time honing your skill, sharpening your axe as Stephen Covey put it.
Stick to a regiment no matter what.
One of my mentors is Robert Allen. He has a “Breakfast with Bob” which is one hour talk. It has been 7 years since Bob has been doing it. He can be in Asia it doesn’t matter; he will be on the call every Wednesday at 10:00 AM EST. That is when you are recognized as an expert then you can command your own fee because perception is reality. If you’re perceived as an expert, you’re an expert.
Go and be consistent in something, stick to it until you become an expert at it.
Good luck.

Jim Rohn is gone
Simple ideas, but so very powerful.If you know him, what a great time to be reminded of the work of this great teacher.It just doesn’t get any better. I own most of Jim’s books.
Jim Rohn just passed away.
If you don’t know his work, it’s never too late.
Jim Rohn, along with Zig Ziglar and Brian Tracy were my first mentors.
Thank you Jim!
Julie and Julia
Yesterday I took my wife to a nice restaurant then to see the movie Julie and Julia.
As French we wanted to see French cooking for American is all about.
She loves the movie and I like the movie, all for different reasons.
I just want to share 3 lessons I learned yesterday. You may apply this in your business.
1- Don’t assume that you know your clients’needs. You will be surprised if you poll them.
Two people (my wife and I) can view the same movie and understand different things.
My wife loves Julia, her personality, her easy-going, her life, her cooking.
I like her persistence, her vision, her passion.
2- Make a commitment and stick to it, no matter what. Julie wrote a blog for a year, every day (almost0
Robert Allen (one of my mentors) has been doing Breakfast with Bob for 7 years in a row, every Wednesday, without failing.
Michael Jordan used to practice basket ball every day. What are you doing…everyday?
3- Pursue your passion, not money. If you pursue what you love and do it regularly you will succeed.
Take your significant other to dinner and go and watch a good movie.
Watch This First

Jacques’ Bio
Thank you for visiting my blog.
My name is Jacques Coquerel (Cockrel). Over the years I moved from Togo (at age of 18) to France then to Atlanta, Georgia at age of 33. I currently live with my wife Claire and my 3 children in Atlanta.
My last two years of high school and my 6 years of college have been devoted to Mathematics, Physics, and chemistry. I attended Superior Mathematic College in France known as “Math Sup”.
However, my real passion has been to understand human potential. I always wanted to answer the question “How can anyone succeed quickly despite his or her limitations?”. After 20+ years of research and observation, I came up with three steps that anyone can follow to achieve any goal:
* Dream BIG
* Change your past programming
* Take specific massive ACTION
My hope is that this blog will help you achieve this big dream and vision of yours.
