The thought of giving up can come on subtly in the midst of yet another failed attempt. Yet if you want to persevere, do the following:

Be consistently precise. Always be on time, never miss a meeting, and do everything you possibly can to position yourself for the desire in your heart.

Set up reminders. If you are down on your luck, keep in mind what your end game is. Keep hope alive by never losing sight of your dream.

Take a risk. If you have been at a job for a long time and nothing has changed, do something you have not tried.
