Transcript from Why Do Leaders with Stickability Capitalize on Unexpected Opportunities? – Fastlane Founders Clips
Greg Reid: Perseverance is the power to persevere. If all it is, it. First, there’s a dream, then there’s challenge and then victory. Almost 99.9% of people quit in the challenging times. The only the people that we tell the stories about are those who didn’t quit and kept going through the toughest of moments. And one of the biggest, bestselling books I ever did, besides Stickability was Three Feet from Gold. It’s a story about a guy who gave up three feet away from the biggest gold strike in the history of the world. And it seems like so many people quit one class short from a degree or sales or marketing.
But it’s the people that persevere and have that stickability were the ones that, we tell their stories today. One of my favorite interviews I did was a guy named Truett Cathy. He started a company in America called Chick-fil-A restaurants. It’s one of the biggest franchises, multi billions. And I said, what makes you so special? And he said, the power of stickability is to keep your eye on the prize, but look for and capitalize on unexpected opportunities. I said, like what?
He says, if I’m on my sofa and I want to get to the end of the street, I get off my back and I start moving that way. He goes, a planner, they’re going to overplan. They’re going to look for every step and, they’re going to look for obstacles along the way. If a sprinkler comes on, it goes against the plan, they run back home, that’s not me. I’m looking for opportunity. Did a kid leave a skateboard or a bicycle out? I could borrow to make my journey shorter. If I get lucky, I’ll wave down a neighbor driving by and I’ll hitch a ride. He goes, in that way I’ll get to my goal. I have stickability. I’m just not so caught up in exactly how it has to transpire.
