Success comes from persistently improving and inventing, not from persistently doing what’s not working. – Derek Sivers

Persistence isn’t always the answer.

If your art isn’t selling…
If your ideas aren’t spreading…
If your talent isn’t being appreciated…

Persistence may not be the solution.

If your reach isn’t widening…
If your influence isn’t increasing…
If your leadership isn’t improving…

Persistence may not be the remedy.

The truth is…

Consistently and persistently being ineffective is stupidity.

The answer is not always to…“Stick it out.”
The answer is not always to…“Try harder.”
The answer is not always to…“Just keep going.”

I don’t mean to be rude, but, maybe this time around, the answer is to…

Drastically improve the quality of what you do.

Don’t just persist.

Get better.
