Success through crisis

Recently I get to received an award for contributing in a business networking organisation. It's called Givers Gain Award.
I started to think, will I have a chance to get this award 2 years ago? Probably not.
Two years ago, the group I was attached with are still up and running with many zest.

However, over the last year, things started to change and the business network group I am associated with started to shrink to miserable size.

Many 'potential' star performers chose to leave the group or find a greener patch while there are a few of hard core low profile people like me chose to stay on and rebuild the team. I even had a senior advised me to give up and join another team. Of course, it was very tempting to join another established group to gain instant gratification.

However, I guess there are certain core qualities in each individual. The six of us chose to stay on and rebuild the team. We do not want to abondone our teamate just to find a greener patch elsewhere. That time, our energy was low, we were exhausting our contacts and every efforts we try to bringing new blood seems not bearing any result.

Will we see light at the end of the tunnel?

I guess success is really a self belief that makes us persevere. Do we believe that we have the capability to turn things around and be successful? Many people chose the easier path, quit.

Success is the ability to persevere until our time has come.

Deep down our heart we know what we capable to do. I still remember success guru, T. Harv Eker says that, "successful people have the habit of complete everything they start". Ya, I think that's the reason we chose to stick together and continue to persevere.

For all of us who stayed on and successfully rebuilding our team, I shall call them the true hero.

Only through crisis, a character is shown.
Only through crisis, we test our mental toughness.
Only through crisis we have clarity what we want.
Only through crisis, we define who we are and what we capable to do.
Only through crisis, we create success.


Crisis, is not a bad word after all!

p/s: I consider this is meaningful success to me and my teamate. Success breeds success!
