How Innovative Thinking and Persistence Pays Off
Welcome back... feel free to look around and see what's new!
The 1970s Labour Party struggles in Great Britain presented Margaret Thatcher with an opportunity to make history. She rode a wave of public disapproval into the office of prime minister in 1979. As a loyal conservative, she was a firm believer in individual freedom over state interference. She sought the demise of the Soviet Union because the release of the Eastern European countries from the Communist hold would dilute German and French power and give England a change to regain prominence on the European economic and political stage.
Margaret Thatcher had to reestablish Britain’s reputation both politically and economically because of Britain’s isolated geographic position. She accomplished a great deal by keeping the big picture in mind, all the while accomplishing smaller goals. Still, her innovative thinking toward reinventing Britain was routinely criticized. Her many speeches, pounding the same concepts over and over in the Parliament, gained the support she needed to make the changes she wanted.
Persistence pays off whatever your business or career goals are. Sticking with your convictions, even when they are unpopular, will be rewarding as long as you’ve done your research and know that your decision are correct. Make sure you do your homework before sharing your big-picture ideas with others, especially if they are earth-shattering ideas.
