Nose Droppings: Persistence Is Key

Persistence Is Key

Andrew Cook

“Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” - The Cook guiding principles.

This needed to be shared. There is something in this man's face that screams Hank Rearden. Not as the guilty separation of mind and body but the soul of a man that keeps going. Determination. Persistence. The essence of the heart that beats. In this picture the Chairman (Andrew Cook) looks like the embodiment of what guides him.

The Origin of "Nose Droppings"

Hello and welcome!

Professional marketers rally to brand yourself. A single focus on which you can hone your message that is effective for connecting. For this reason alone, I am a marketing nightmare.

I am not one thing but many. I can't write my novel and not let horses creep their way into my stories. I can't work on my marketing efforts without applying what I learn to relationships. I am not just about dressage. I am not just about marketing. I don't just focus on writing or my relationships. Hiking with my dog is also very big part of who I am and to wrap that all up is why I consider myself a hiking dressage trainer that writes.

I don't do just one thing so my brand seems to be a craptastic load of things. You see this is where it's all mixed-up and blown into the world. This is me. I am my brand.

Pin me on Pinterest to the board of "supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus". This is where you see me and those dregs that slide down the olfactory orifice. This is where you see my moments of triumph. This is where I share embarrassing moments or rants that I don't really want you to share with anyone else. This is where I share me.

Take it or leave it, good, bad or ugly but always aspiring for amusement.
