Diligence

This is the staying power in something you feel is a worthy cause. It is true this may come with unpleasant ordeals. Such is true for trying to reduce one's weight. Though the process is unpleasant, the end results are the reward. This is why it is very important that, if you have an interest in improving your figure, you will have to endure the process. This is diligence. Many, many New Year's resolutions fail right here.

The antidote to failure on this point is to keep your eye on the goal and not get caught up in the process. It may be cold and rainy, but the diligent athlete makes his/her way out the door, far from comfort and trains anyway.

Diligence is not always easy, and I can write this. It is easier said than done, but discipline comes hand in hand with diligence. In my own experience, this is where I myself, fail most often. Knowing something and doing it are two different things. To know it and not do it results in wishful thinking and regret. This is what we know as procrastination.

Tenacity

This is the "courage" element in the thing you may be attempting. Most things that lie beyond the realm of the average Joe have some sort of elements in it that require a backbone, courage, fearlessness, hence tenacity. Publishing that first article takes a bit of tenacity.

Building a business in spite of pressure from coworkers, authority figures, and society itself requires intensive tenacity. If you are a faint-at-heart sort of person, you will probably have difficulty in this area. It is however, a learned behavior, so you can overcome if you have enough passion for the thing you are trying to acquire.

I suggest to you that, the one greatest thing you will face when trying to travers your journey to the goal you've envisioned, is none other than conformity. You will need to resist the urge to NOT climb out of the can of Kohike crabs that keep trying to pull you down into the can with them. You will get this in on the job, with the family and with other authorities. Conformity is perfectly fine, as long as you don't conform to the wrong group! In most cases, people conform to the masses, which is a HUGE mistake!

In a business like online marketing, the encounter of naysayers is very common. When in the workplace, it is best to keep your training and business to yourself. As an aspiring entrepreneur/online business owner, you will face people who do not understand what you are doing. Don't awaken the sleeping giant. Let him be and proceed. This is GREAT advice given by many Internet marketing pioneers, such as Mark Joyner in his famous book, Mind Control Marketing

Consistency

Akin to diligence, consistency is the act of being regular in pursuit to what it is you are trying to do. In other words, to successfully build a business, you must work on it daily, or as close to this as possible.

This is taught here at WA and the Boot Camp is a great example of this. Whilst you are not required to finish a boot camp "on time" it is encouraged. Many of us do get behind on things. If this happens, endeavor yourself to remain diligent in it and remain regular in your "doses."

You have probably heard of the famous question, "How do you eat an elephant?"

One bite at a time.

Now, let's look at one more facet of the quotation above.
