The Relentless Persistence of John D. Rockefeller
John D. was a familiar face at all Cleveland banks. The visits were not always pleasant. They often turned down his request for money.
"What if the president of the bank refused to make me a loan? That was nothing. He might lecture me on the folly of making a loan for the purpose for which I was seeking it. That made no difference to me; simply meant that I must look elsewhere until I got what I wanted."
That persistence, always low-keyed but relentless.
This highlight is from the book John D. Rockefeller: The Founding Father of the Rockefeller by David Freeman Hawke.
I spent 20 hours reading the book and made a podcast on the key lessons. You can learn those lessons by listening to episode 254 of Founders here.
I believe in the power of Intentional Transformation. I believe you are capable of dramatic improvement in business and life if you are committed and know the steps to take. I guide people in taking those steps.
