When you want to achieve a task you won’t always get it right. You take my Yoga! I was 54 when I took up Yoga an uncoordinated middle-aged male! The first step was doing it in the privacy of my own home with the help of Yoga with Chaz. I researched by watching and doing, not getting it right all the time but eventually getting it right. Then I found out about local Yoga. Yoga broadly has two types as I found, no not the flavor like Vinyasa flow, but as I define it, Yin and Yang:

 Yang

(in Chinese philosophy) the active male principle of the universe characterized as male and creative and associated with heaven, heat, and light.

Yin

(in Chinese philosophy) the passive female principle of the universe characterized as female and sustaining and associated with earth, dark, and cold.

 

For 6 months I would go to this local guy who practiced Yang yoga or human origami as some of the class coined it. Hard work but slowly my body responded I shrunk and lost no weight. My BMI was optimal while sometimes relaxing I felt I needed something more. A new local organization started up which was more Yin orientated. Finally, a bit of balance the Asanas flowed and the peace descended! I had reached a balance.

So now three years later when I have a new asana I have the confidence to tackle it head on, to master it! I still take time but I learned those Quad P’s:

Patience, Practice and Persistence gets that Pay off!

It is the same in business. In our essential reading list, we have a book Jab Jab Jab Right hook. This is an example of content marketing strategy! As we all know Facebook has changed its algorithm. It is no longer acceptable to just put up product links and advertise them! You have to build a relationship that is the Jab and continue jabbing until you have trust form your friends to give them an opportunity to buy!

Note I used the term friends, just like Facebook. Customers whom you have no relationship are unlikely to see your content, so it is worthwhile thinking about it!

So as you can see there is a pay off in business too from the Quad P’s!

Patience, Practice and Persistence gets that Pay off!
