“The successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don’t like to do. They don’t like doing them either necessarily. But their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose.” - E.M. Gray

Commentary: This comment speaks to the small business owner or entrepreneur especially. Few small business owners look forward to making cold calls, doing the books, disaster planning, updating the marketing plan, etc.

In your personal life, few people like exercising, paying bills, maintaining your property, sending thank you cards, etc. - but it all has to be done.

The ones that get these mundane things done know that the reason they are doing so is to serve a higher purpose. They know the benefits of doing these things that most people don’t realize.
