WRIGHT
What’s your favorite success quote?
LOCK
“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two
of the surest steppingstones to success”—Dale Carnegie.
I also like Albert Einstein’s words, “Try not to become a man of
success but rather to become a man of value.” Very wise, and he had the
fo cus right, in my opinion.
WRIGHT
What do you think is your proudest accomplishment?
LOCK
Being able to feed my family consistently, even in the tough times,
without having a “regular” job or being employed by anyone. Beyond
that, I know I continue to help hundreds of thousands of small
business owners and entrepreneurs via my free WebTV show, Help! My
Business Sucks! (www.HelpMyBusiness.com). I’ve released more
than one hundred and sixty episodes, which equates to more than
fo rty hours of practical tips and advice. That’s a successful
accomplishment, and I ’m committed to continuing to release new
episodes for as long as I can.
WRIGHT
How important is it to be persistent when working toward a goal?
LOCK
Persistence is essential. It’s one of the top ingredients that needs to
go into the mix, alongside a positive personal belief. I’ve observed that
many people give up too soon. My biggest breakthroughs have
consistently happened shortly after I felt like throwing in the towel and
giving up. With the benefit of hindsight, I’m so grateful that I
stubbornly persisted, because the victories make the tough times
worthwhile.
