Reading Relentless, I found it a very educational book, both personally and professionally. I was enjoying the lessons of Mark's hard-working career and of his personal failures and success. As an example, for me as an introvert, my biggest professional weakness is sales - the complete taboo :hand: . So I was astounded by the advice Mark's mother gave him when he was starting to sell greeting cards: "I am earning my own bicycle selling Gibson greeting cards. Would you like one box or two?" What is the best lesson you learned from Relentless ?

Life can present us with a myriad of things to keep us down. However, all we have to overcome and succeed is in us. This is what the author exemplifies in this book.

I have learned that the #1 important element to doing well is persistence. Over the course of his lifetime, Mark was able to succeed in multiple different hobbies and make a name for himself in a variety of areas that had nothing in common with one another with the exception of determination. This book has taught me the importance of that feature.

To always push through. Whatever is thrown at you now or how terrible the storm is, it will pass and the sun will shine again. Believe in yourself, you are strong enough, and you can make it!

What I learned is that there is no downside to being tenacious. Mark could have quit and thrown in the towel multiple times, but he kept sticking to his guns and his personal belief in himself and what he could accomplish. That's not only admirable, but it's also necessary for whatever we choose to do in life.

Relentless is both a biography of Mark Hansen and a motivational book. It teaches that success is not immediate. It takes many resolves, the ability to persevere despite the many failures, and setbacks in life. He is also a giver, as he is interested to improving the lives of others around him.

Relentless held so many lessons about life. One that stuck with me is that being tenacious has no downside.

The title of the book is the very thing I re-learned. Relentlessness to achieve the things you want is good quality to have. Hard work in the face of adversity is not as easy as it sounds but it makes all the different.

I very much appreciated that Mark Victor Hansen was a philanthropist and writer. According to him, the best book ever written hasn't been written, because we haven't written it - yet. The author teaches us that with the reading we get a lifetime of distilled wisdom from some of the world's greatest thinkers, doers, and contributors. He asserts that reading is a shortcut to success. It enables us to think bigger than we've ever thought. This was the best lesson I learned from Mark's life story!

I learned from Mark that - trust the process. Everything's going on is part of the process. I learn that changing careers is fine- even Mark was a greeting cards seller, became a musician, a successful public speaker, and last but not least, a bestselling author. He perseveres and tries new things until he finds his passion. It was a very inspirational book! Mitzi Perdue was great at delivering his remarkable story!

Mark's outstanding belief in himself and his skills, especially in marketing and sales, was inspirational. Like you, being an introvert makes these things harder for me, but Mark's story tells the enormous opportunities we get by putting ourselves out there.

Mark's relentless is the biggest lesson I picked from this book. If you fall nine times, rise the tenth time and keep pushing. Persistence is key in the journey to success.

I learnt that the best time to never give up is when you keep falling. It means something is about to happen. Mark's successes came after his failures.
