We explore the concept of persistence from Ryan Holiday's "The Obstacle is the Way" and discover how persisting through challenges is the key to effective action in life and leadership.
• The best way out of any challenge is always through, not around
• Persistence and pertinacity are key assets demonstrated by historical leaders like General Grant
• Uphill goals require uphill habits and relentless determination
• Having a clear "why" statement fuels persistence when motivation naturally wanes
• Iteration allows us to learn from failures and adjust our approach without losing momentum
• Creating space between our identity and our failures prevents emotional paralysis
• Viewing obstacles as feedback provides precise instructions for improvement
