  • The Power of Relentlessness!
    May 8 2024

    In this week's episode of The Rutledge Perspective, let's dive into the profound concept of being relentless in pursuit of our goals. Join us as we explore what it truly means to embody relentlessness and how it can transform our approach to life, business, and personal growth. Remember, your relentless pursuit of greatness can change the world.

    I would also like to take this time to thank everyone for listening to this podcast for the past 5 years. I'm truly humbled by the fact that you have tuned into this podcast every week, or someone sent it to you, and you went back to listen to old episodes. I will be officially sunsetting The Rutledge Perspective Podcast with this episode. The relentless pursuit of the impact I want to make requires that I take a pause and decide what the next iteration of the podcast is going to be. I must ensure that I align everything that I'm doing with this real idea to make an impact on women business owners who are creating the cultures that they want to work in. This isn't a goodbye, it's a see you later! To keep up with me and to know when I come back, please feel free to follow me @laurel.k.rutledge. Talk soon!

    🔑 Relentlessness is an action verb. It is being unwilling to take anything less than the achievement of what you have in front of you. It's about overcoming obstacles and eliminating distractions to stay laser-focused on that thing because you know that it's much bigger than you.

    🔑 Empowered action includes determination, an activity, and energy towards the action that you're taking.

    🔑 You have to be tactically, technically, and intentionally setting up the actions that you need to take in a relentless pursuit of the goals you have set for yourself and the strategy you built for your business, career, or department.

    Ask yourself these questions:

    Are you being relentless about your pursuit? Are you thinking clearly and being determined to get to where you want to be?
