If you're determined and committed, you're bound for success
. Look at the figure skater Evan Lysacek winning the gold medal in this past Winter Olympics. He had been constantly criticized for being too athletic and lacking a degree of "artistry" that gold medal winners have to have. But that didn't stop him. Evan's coach says he's the hardest worker he's ever coached. All that hard work paid off. All that patience and perseverance led to success for him and it'll do the same for you. What's the saying? It takes 10 years of preparation to be an overnight success. So if you really want to make a difference, PR has to be a component to your business. But I hate to break it to you; it might take some time. But if you want to be a household name, master the skills necessary, be patient and persevere through all the obstacles that might come your way.
