The Law of Averages

The Law of Averages

When we begin any new skill, project or behavior we need to continue and not stop. If we attempt something new twenty times, our chances of succeeding, are about twice as good as if we attempted only ten times. And if we attempt 40 times, our chances of succeeding are four times as great as if we tried only ten times. Only Relentless individuals stay with it until they succeed. Why? Most people either don’t understand and/or lose their belief that they’ll succeed.

Colonel Sanders approached over 1000 restaurants before he finally succeeded in getting one to carry his chicken recipe on its menu. Thomas Edison used more than 10,000 different filaments before he found one that made his light bulb work. Over a period of 28 years, Abraham Lincoln lost his job, failed in business, suffered a nervous breakdown and was defeated numerous times for public office until he finally won the election that made him president of the United States! It’s all about trusting the Law of Averages. #SteveAKlein RelentlessSteve.com
