Perseverance = Success

I recently listened to an interesting Podcast of an interview with Gerry Calabrese, founder and CEO of premium drinks brand Hoxton spirits - a fascinating guest with a colourful background. A couple of his quotes got me thinking: "The difference between success and failure is perseverance" and "You've got to enjoy the process… even if you end up failing".

These are so true within the Recruitment Industry. Our recruiters at True North Talent succeed because they make that extra call, go that extra mile, take another "no" on the chin and keep persevering. If you don't enjoy what you do in our industry and if you don't follow the process, you'll never be successful.

Other similarities in Gerry's rise to success are that he followed his dreams, seized many opportunities, demonstrated such passion, worked hard and was totally dedicated in all his endeavours. He talks about building brands - as we are doing here.

He is fanatical about making spirits - we are fanatical about delivering exceptional service to our candidates and clients. He says you need to enjoy the adversities and challenges as you will learn more from them than the successes.

So, follow Gerry's wise words - be prepared to go the distance, keep going when everything feels impossible and when most people would give up. That perseverance will create success.
