Dream, desire, direction, decisiveness; all part of the journey towards success. On today’s edition, The Pestgeek continues the series ’12 D’s to achieving success in anything you want’. Today, the 5th part, is ‘doing’. The Pestgeek discusses the importance of ‘doing’. Unfortunately, ‘doing’ is the part that most people actually fail at. Developing a plan, a strategy is essential if you are serious about making your dream a reality. But getting started and actually doing is where most seem to stop short. Franklin takes us back to his success in the integrated pest control field and how the cards were stacked against him: high school drop out, growing up on section 8 and food stamps, cancer, losing his father as a child. Need some motivation or inspiration? Watch the video!
“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.”
