The “Don’t Quit” Factor: Do You Have It?

May 31, 2017 Posted by admin Uncategorized

I’m training for my 5th marathon, and Monday called for a ten mile training run. It was hot, humid, sticky, and a holiday on top of that. I wanted to create a hundred excuses for why I couldn’t or shouldn’t go run. Working toward a worthwhile goal is never easy. In fact, it’s usually difficult, tough, or just plain hard. Anytime we are faced with a challenge in life or set a goal to achieve something, we have two options:

1) Create an excuse as to why we can’t do it;

2) Ask how we CAN do it – and then do it.[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdpW7v3Dpxs[/embedyt]

About admin

Like many, Ria faced adversity in life. Ria was sexually abused by her father from age 12 - 19, forced to play the role of his wife, and even shared with other men. Desperate to escape, she left home at 19 without a job, a car, or even a high school diploma. Ria learned to be resilient, not only surviving, but thriving. She worked her way through college, earning her MBA with a cumulative 4.0 GPA, and had a successful career in the corporate world of administrative healthcare. Today, Ria is a motivational leadership speaker, TEDx Speaker, and author of 10 books, including Leadership Gems for Women. Ria shares powerful leadership principles and tools of transformation from her journey to equip and empower women, helping them realize, optimize, and maximize their leadership potential.
