Let’s talk about what I like to call “Smart Persistence.”
By that I mean: you don’t just keep banging your head against a brick wall when something isn’t working.
That doesn’t usually result in the brick wall falling down — but it does do considerable damage to your head.
(Not that I’d ever do anything like that!) 🤣
Too many times, we think a particular approach we take is the way to do it, and we keep banging away at the same old thing that isn’t working — hoping that “next time, this really will work.”
Yea, right. Lots of luck on that one, Scooter!
Now, there’s an important role for persistence — staying with a task to see it through.
You and I know that serious, worthwhile achievement comes from doing the right thing in the right way and persisting even when the going gets tough.
But I’d submit that as we go forward, we need to get guidance and direction along the way.
Sometimes, instead of trying to blast through that brick wall, it’s better to go around it, over it, or even tunnel underneath the damn thing!
The key is in the word smart.
Smart Persistence means going beyond just what you’re doing right now if something isn’t working.
Fortunately, today this is where our AI buddies come in.
You can do a huge amount of research — when you do it the right way — with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other large language models (LLMs).
Don’t forget to use the voice-to-voice capability so you can explore a lot of options fast, in an easy way, and land on solutions you might not have thought of otherwise.
I put together a video on this that can open doors for serious Smart Persistence, that you might not have known are available.
Don’t let this seriously helpful technology lie dormant.
Grab this rascal and use serious Smart Persistence to achieve your goals.
And then help all of us as you leave a comment on how you’re using an AI tool right now that’s helping you make better decisions.
This is what Smart Persistence is all about.
I look forward to hearing from you and finding out what’s working for you.
In the meantime, here’s a video that can help you with using technology for smart persistence:
To Your Success,

P.S. Leverage the daylights out of tools like ChatGPT, Gemini Notebook, Claude, and others. That video (above) can open a lot of possibilities for you.
