DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE SUCCESSFUL?

Are you frustrated with the mediocre life that you live? Are you overwhelmed with your circumstances and is ready to give up? Are you stuck in a pit of never going to get want you want and never going to be great? Do you lack what it takes to persevere and breakthrough for you and your family’s sake?

HAVE A DREAM

What is your philosophy on training and hard work? Are you willing to start at the bottom and climb your way up? We can make so many excuses in life and cling to them daily. In the video entitled "I have a Soul" this man is at rock bottom and the individuals who are reading this probably has more than he started with. This guy was willing to do whatever he has to take on menial jobs just to work with a mentor to train him to become a great boxer. Did he choose an easy opportunity, definitely not, but did he choose a path where the payoff is large. Sure. This is a big dream and he wants to be in a big ring. However, to much is given, much is required and because of this with a big dream comes sacrifice.

THE RATIONALE

I want you to think for a second as to your “WHAT”. What made you join this business? What was the reason that prompted you to make the decision to sign up? What was your motivating factor? What is it that you see yourself doing, becoming, etc. at the end of making this business successful?

Example 1: You might be a husband who wants to bring his wife home from her job. What needs to happen is every time your wife has a rough day at work and brings it home you need to associate what she is saying to what your desire is for her and that is when it will begin to happen.

Example 2: Let’s say you have a daughter who you might say she is your world and you want to make sure you give her a good life. In this instance you need to dig a little deeper. Maybe you want to be able to buy her a car when she turns 16 or maybe you want the ability to never miss any of her soccer games. You might want to be the soccer coach. But dig deeper.

Being able to pay their bills does not stir up a great deal of excitement but it is great to not have debt and to be able to meet your obligations. As much as taking care of your business is a great thing it tends to not be a true motivating factor for individuals. When I ask you about your WHAT I want you to think along the lines of “What do you want your dream life to look like?” When you wake up in the morning what time would that be and what would you do. If you had all the time in the world and all the money that you wanted what would your life look like?

Take out a pen and paper and write down your answer.

You might say your kids, but your kids alone are not a specific answer. What about your kids. Is it that you want them to be able to have a successful business to inherit? You can answer this question by asking yourself what can this business do for me that no other opportunity has been able to and this one can.

MORE MONEY! Not a good answer. FREEDOM! You could quit your job and have freedom all day long. But how is this opportunity going to impact your life. What is it going to do for your family? What do I have to gain and what do I have to lose if I don’t do this business. It is always easier to take the weaker path. It is so easy to make slight errors in judgment or time which inevitably will lead to a life that you will not be happy or excited about. Some of us are victims of this right now. Where you are today has nothing to do with your one decision you made yesterday, it is a cumulative effect of many decisions over time that led you to where you are today. That may be good and it may not be so good. The question is what are you going to do differently? The reason why Network Marketers can make so much money is because it is an emotional business. You have to deal with a very interesting dynamic. PEOPLE.

THE DIFFERENCE MAKER

People are great but People can be a little fickle at times. People will promise you something one day and something else the next. I had someone who was already set to go and had talked about these lofty dreams that he had and when it came time to make the commitment things changed on their current job where they were offered $2.00 more on the hour. What he didn’t know or realize is that this could have been the very opportunity that would have allowed him to never have to be hopeful for just a mere $2.00/hour raise. But he chose the immediacy of the raise. He did not realize what he gave up. So again, what is going to make you different? One thing is you are reading this right now. Just like the video there are many people who are going to say I am going to make it because I am willing to link with the right mentor, sacrifice time, and learn to be better for the big payoff. So I am going to make the big decision.

Many times when we are thinking about what this business will do for us we think of FINANCIAL FREEDOM. But, what number are we talking about when we are talking about financial freedom? Financial freedom for one may mean something else for another. It could mean $1000 above your bills for one where $10,000 may be the number for another. When you are looking into YOUR answer as to what financial freedom is you must tap into what the Reason is you joined this business. Reasons are going to be what keeps you in this business when the going gets tough. Because when the going gets tough the tough gets going. You know who else gets going is the weak but they are going in a totally different direction. They QUIT and that is why you need to make sure you are part of the tough. And you have to have a STRONG, PASSIONATE REASON or “WHAT” and you have to have it clearly defined as well as what you are willing to give up.

I know you have heard what is your “WHY”. I do not teach to find a “WHY” because that goes into the past which is something you cannot change. I teach find your “WHAT” because we are talking about the future which is something you can plan for and change. Remember your reason or “WHAT” is going to be the most important element of your business and get you through as you grow it. You have to clearly define your “WHAT”. So I asked someone I sponsored what are you willing to give up. He told me that he was willing to give up television. I told him he needed to narrow that down a little more. He said I will give up watching television and substitute that time for making phone calls, conducting meetings, etc. I told him to define it a little more then he said how about I will conduct business during the hours of 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday thru Friday. He had a defined goal and he understood the sacrifice needed.
