Never, Never, Never Give Up

Do you get discouraged easily? When you get a few no's, do you throw in the towel? Everyone needs support, and it's that extra step, reaching out to someone who believes in you and what you are trying to accomplish that can make all the difference.

Don't quit. Go the extra mile. And here are some tips to help you do that:

. Allow yourself to feel frustrated.  No one likes hearing the word "no".

. Use the "no" to spur you on--get angry if that helps.

. Reach out to an action "buddy", someone you can report your progress to.

. Acknowledge yourself for not giving up, it takes courage to keep going.

. Timing may not be on your side, but that doesn't mean to throw out the idea entirely. Make a point to revisit it in the future.
