How Persistent Are You With Your Online Business? Check Yourself!

How persistent are you? Would you like to know your persistent levels? Would you like to know where you have strengths and weaknesses? In one of my proceeding articles, I shared with my readers the importance of persistence and tips on how one could train himself/herself to become persistent. This time, I would like to focus your mind on this important question: “How persistent are you?”

Through this article, I would like you to carry out a self-evaluation exercise on how persistent you are by using the following guiding questions to weigh yourself. It would be nice to write somewhere your responses as to what exactly you are. This will hopefully help you to know your weaknesses and your strengths. It will also enable you to work on your weaknesses with an aim of becoming a more persistent person. Will you do that?

Well, answer genuinely the following 20 questions to discover your strengths and weaknesses. If your strengths outweigh your weaknesses by a very big margin, then you can consider yourself to be on the right track. But if your weaknesses exceed your strengths, you have a great job of training yourself to become persistent. I believe at the end of this simple exercise you will have known how persistent you are.

1. Do you have a purpose and clear reasons as to what you want to achieve in your business and your life?

2. Do you always find yourself postponing your decisions, plans and actions?

3. Do you have interest to acquire new knowledge and skills and apply them?

4. Do you find yourself doubtful and undecided on some of the important decisions you have to make in your life?

5. Do you feel complacent (feeling of self-satisfaction) about your achievements, what you are and what you have?

6. Do you feel indifferent or unresponsive to issues or obstacles you encounter in your life or in the course of doing your business?

7. Do you find yourself transferring the blame to others for any mistakes made by you?

8. Do you have a strong desire to do online business?

10. Do you work according to your written plan or you find yourself doing things haphazardly?

12. When people recognize opportunities for you, do you shy away from them?

13. Do you wish instead of taking action?

If you took some moments to reflect on the above questions and to analyze them, you now have a deeper understanding of yourself as far as your persistence levels are. The analysis may have led you to discover your strengths and weaknesses.

If you answered positively to questions 1, 3, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19 and 20, you have strength in each of them and a negative response implies a weakness. But if you answered positively to questions 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 and 16, you have a weakness in each of them and a negative response reflects your strength. How persistent are you?
