?Stickability is a big deal - even Dads get it right occasionally!

I mentioned last week that as a family we were very proud to see our daughter Sara Beth Reynolds awarded the Beverly Babb Award for Extraordinary Service by the Global Speakers Association (GSF).
We have seen lots or praise on social media, and it has been wonderful.
I also mentioned that we have lots to tell you and here is the second piece of news.
At that same Professional Speaking Association annual conference, directly after Sara Beth’s award I was completely surprised to be the recipient of the PSA Founders Award. I am only the sixth recipient in the past twenty-five years history of the association, and it was both a complete surprise and most humbling.
The award is for outstanding service to the Association and its members and in my acceptance speech (thinking on my feet!) I told a story of how I became involved in the association. The bottom line was, and is, that I chose to stick around the PSA and the benefits to my business and myself have been numerous...
...Stick around and serve to the best of my ability.
In business I believe the number one thing you must have is stickability.
I noted a post online this morning from a well-known individual had received tremendous attention. Essentially the individual in their own word’s had ‘come clean’ about their very challenging twelve months due to lack of business. I wasn’t surprised at the enormous number of posts from others all saying two things:
Stick at it because they are great at what they do!

Most well-wishers are having a poor year too!
I can tell you the same vibe was at the PSA convention.
Many businesses are currently finding trading conditions to be very tough. Without being too political, until we have a government that wakes up and realises it needs to talk things up not down it will remain challenging.
I am humbled ann?thankful for the award, for my family and those close to us and of course to our many clients in these times and I know the one thing we need to do is just keep going!
Have Stickability…
And I hope you have it too!
Until the next time.
