We have thoughtfully and professionally written a detailed proposal. We have formed a crew of fantastic team-players. Our feasibility studies birth affirmative results with 110% grade-points. The idea is breath-taken and the budget is ready. The project has been set on the go but the finance is missing.
The mind is chocked with finding ways to execute the task in hand because proposed sponsors are not responding positively. Our “well written proposals” occupy a seat at the corner of our projected sponsor’s fancy table.
Now our worries are huge! We are confused. Things no longer seem to work. We want to give up! Because our eyes can’t see through the walls before us, we’re already proposing a turnaround; to take the cowardice act and run when we should fight our way through.
I certainly understand that those times are not always with warmth or reasons to smile. I understand that those times replace our good feelings with horrible sad feelings, creating an imbalance in our emotional well being.
But based on testimonies and research, people who stood through those times, are people who overtime, developed the skill to persevere. They decide never to give up; they insist to win. These are great people – not less than success oriented. They are the kind people I call us to be.
We can only experience the power of persistence if we don't stop striving. All you need is the decision to win. Don’t stop making those phone calls; don’t get tired of sending emails. Keep pushing; keep requesting for appointment/ re-appointment dates. Keep visiting that office and keep finding and providing ways to break or bend their management rules to suit your genuine intention. Creative people find loopholes and fill them. For every opportunity you have, show reasons people/ companies should invest in your project. Soon, they will understand that your project is just what they need to climb to a certain height that would set them above their counterparts.
Kind Regards
Paul Okuk
