It is early Monday morning and I was just thinking about the many conversations I have had over the weekend with networkers really looking for success. And here’s what I learned.
Some people want the success, but want it handed to them on a silver platter. With all the bells and whistles. They want it without really having the desire to work for it. I don’t fully understand this train of thought so it is difficult for me to address. For example, there are people who have literally said to me that they want to quit their J-O-B’s and want to do it in 6-9 months, but then turn around and say that they don’t know if they have the time to complete the necessary tasks to ensure that desire. A bit of an oxymoron to me!
Now, there are others who say they want success and they make the time to read, study, and listen to every conference call/webinar. Yet, something happens where they never take action. Excuses are part of their everyday conversation. No progress is ever made, and then they say that the business isn’t working for them. Huh? Let’s see, if you say you want to be a gold medalist runner, go to the gym, watch other people run, learn the techniques from the sideline, but never get out on the track yourself to run and practice and improve, are you deserving of a gold medal? Can you say that the olympics is not working?
Lastly there are those rare few that not only say they want success, but stumble actively along the road of improvement, perseverance and commitment. These rare few work long hours at the job and then come home to tend to family and yet burn the midnight oil to take another step forward in their online business. These types always have time…because they make the time. This breed doesn’t complain about what didn’t work this time because they spend their time looking for ways to make it work next time. These are the stars, these are the Rhinos in the jungle, these are the people just like me!
So as you proceed with your business, ask yourself, “am I really willing to do ALL that I can to succeed? Do I really want to enjoy my life being free from the corporate slavery? Am I equipped to handle the downfalls as well as the great achievements that will come on my journey? Is it totally worth it to me to go out, create my own future and live life experiencing all the abundance that is here to partake in? Is it worth it to me to work extra hard everyday for the next year to NEVER have to worry about bills, lack of time or family neglect again?
Well if you are anything like me, your answer to all those questions is a big fat YES!
If you are fighting the battle of fear, procrastination, doubt, etc…get that out of your psyche. Someone, somewhere, has put that in your mind and now you and your life is suffering as a result of it. Unnecessarily! Get on the right foot. Not only learn what works, but DO what works. Practice what you read and hear, don’t just read and hear it! Be an active marketer, not one that sits back hoping a check will fall in your lap.
Go out and GET what you deserve….and that is…MASSIVE SUCCESS!
(ok, I guess I’m off my soapbox for today, LOL!)
