Many of us have either shopped at our heard of Macy’s but….. Do you know the story of the man behind it? I certainly didn’t and what an inspirational story! R. H. Macy is man who never gave up after each of his failures and his success came from his persistence. He tried 5 professions: Whaler Retailer Gold Miner Stockbroker Real estate Broker And 6 attempts at owning retail companies all of which had failed… Until his 7th attempt which we all know as Macy’s Department store. The POWER of Persistence: What keeps us going in the midst of adversity is having a strong sense of our purpose. It’s what fuels us to embody the power of persistence. —————————————————————— John C.

Thanks for educating us today Lester Stay persistent, gets rewarded
It at first you fail. Go fail again. Then fail again. Success is inevitable when you stay in the game.
I was completely unaware... Have some very fond memories of shopping at Macy's with the family from years ago. Another reminder to always persevere through the ups and downs 💪
We don’t fully realise this. Had this conversation with Austin Moore couple of weeks ago.
We're living in a time where everything's about the chase. Which I think is a good thing. Only those who persist will win it easy Lester Sydney
Very inspiring Lester Sydney. I believe most successful people have stories or fails, persistence followed by luck (finally).
Resiliency and perseverance, 2 of the most life saving skills.
Purpose fuels and propels us. Thanks for helping others find their purpose too, Lester Sydney.
You only fail when you stop trying!
