THE MAN THAT JUST DOESN’T QUIT

MEET RICKY DEANE

Ricky Deane is a Vice President for a major Airline today, having spent the last 27 years, working his way up through the ranks.

He started his career off by cleaning aircraft, loading bags, pushing wheelchairs, and other duties at a starting pay rate of $2.25 per hour.  Yes, you read that correctly, $2.25 per hour with zero benefits.

It’s been a long, challenging road getting to that label of Vice President on his office door. The similarities of now being a marathon / long-distance runner and pacing himself, even when the hills are approaching and the muscles are starting to ache; the same strive applies in business life. He just doesn’t quit.

That’s the mindset of Ricky, putting one foot in front of the other at a steady pace. He is not the fastest runner, nor is he the smartest person in his company, but one thing is always for sure, he will finish the race, even if he has to crawl to that finish line. He has the same attitude at work; he will accomplish any task or assignment for the team. Quitting is not an option for him.
