Love Will Teach You Persistence


Helloo0O Ladies and Gentlemen!

Welcome back to Graceland Ontario − your one stop location for success advice and tips to take your life to the next level. This week, we’ll talk more on persistence.

I figured I’d bring up the old Elvis story again, because it’s good − and most people, when they think of Elvis, discount it.

Elvis was persistent, contrary to what people may say. Sure, his manager, Colonel Parker was good (and sometimes pushed him around). Sure he had a lot of fans, but not originally.

Elvis worked a lot of shows under the Blue Moon Boys title back in ’54 with Scotty Moore on guitar and Bill Black on bass. He kept performing even when people told him he should go back to trucking (his previous career), like the talent producer on the Grand Ole’ Oprey (then the largest country music show in the U.S.). But he kept chugging along with his routines just the same.

Because he loved it. Listen to him live, or even after singing a take in the studio. When you love what you do, you’ll keep doing it. Even when people insult you. Even when you’re not certain you can become great yourself, your love of what you do will pull you through.

That’s the key to persistence guys… love it or lose it − a motto to work by.

See you next week!
