Talent is never enough...

I have come to some very simple conclusions about people. Firstly, that everyone has a dream. Secondly, most people will never take the step from thinking about their dream to owning it. Thirdly, that of the people who go after their dreams, 100% of them are likely quite talented, however, only 2% are consistent...

The irony? Generally the 2% who end up succeeding because they are consistent in their pursuit of their dream are usually the least talented of the lot. Just goes to show what really matters when you're trying to beat the odds. My take on this for business, ditch the talented with a track record for under-achieving and pursue the average Joe's with a strong track record for consistency, persistency, and thus success... Just a thought...
