Have you been frustrated with hearing you have to have money to make money and you have no money? Are you stuck thinking that because you have no money you will not be able to make any? Are you overwhelmed with what steps to take that will get you to making money? Do you lack the knowledge to get out of your situation and make it better?
DOWN AND OUT
SCENARIO: Suppose you have a husband and wife who have no family and they are homeless. They just sold their last worldly possession in order to get money to provide food for themselves. They have found a shelter to live in and the shelter has internet access available for their patrons and they have always desired to own an MLM business online and are reaching out to you for advice on how to do so. What advice would you give them toward changing their situation?
Here is what I would tell this couple. The first thing that I would do is pray for them and thank God for their shelter, their mind and health, their desire and His faithfulness in never leaving them, protecting them and continuing to be their guide through their present and future or something like that. I would pray for them and thank God first because their situation could be a lot worse than it is and I realize that tragedy is an opportunity for God to perform a miracle and bless you. Now, I have never been homeless thanks be to God, but I have experienced foreclosure, behind on bills, repossessions, failed business, etc. so I know what lack and being down does feel like.
You may not believe this but nothing just happens. Your circumstances are there to make you stronger and give God an opportunity to perform a miracle in your life. I do not want you to think that you do not have a part in your miracle because you are pivotal to making your miracle occur. Miracles require active participation on the person’s part who is receiving the miracle. You HAVE to BELIEVE that there is something better for you out there and take action accordingly.
STEPS TO GETTING OUT OF THE PIT
FIRST, it all starts in THE MIND. You cannot have a defeatist attitude and expect to succeed. You have to be mentally tougher than your circumstances. There is a gentleman who was homeless and begging on the freeway. Every day he would ask for money from the passerby’s in exchange for him giving them a verbal blessing. He had an incredible speaking voice that soothed and brought joy to everyone who heard it. One day a lady decided to tell the local news station and radio station about this guy and they sent someone by to hear his voice. Long story short today he is a multi-millionaire because he brought value and worth through something that he possessed all along. But this gentleman throughout his circumstances kept a great upbeat attitude and possessed great mental toughness to bless others when he was at his lowest. His mindset set things in gear for his future.
SECOND, identify the mindset that you have carried to get you to where you are. Because nothing just happens, you did not get to where you are due to happenstance. You could have been depressed, speaking negatively (unbeknownst to yourself), made poor decisions, bad work habits, uncoachable or untrainable, Mr. or Ms. Know-It-All, etc. There was something that you thought about and did that caused you to get you to your current situation. If you do not identify your thought processes, your mindset during this time you are destined to repeat. Do not hold onto the mindset and do not repeat it again. Do not do those actions anymore.
THIRD, identify the vision of who you want to be and what actions would that version of yourself do. What would the new you do. Your why would be the typical action during this time. Why would you want to get out of debt, many people say for their family, etc. However, Why tends to not be a strong enough reason. Why can wane and cause you to revert back to the old you. It is a person’s WHAT that changes behaviors and results. Meaning what kind of individual do I want to be and develop into. What does my future look like? What can I contribute to my family that makes me a valuable asset and influence? These questions should lead you to ask “What would this individual do”. How does this individual conduct him or herself? What kind of decisions does this person make? What is this person’s routine and resolve?
FOURTH, embrace the fact that others have climbed out of worse situations than yours. Think of all the positives to your situation and focus on those. In the above scenario the couple is able to send and receive emails which, puts them in the minority of poverty stricken individuals. There are people or generations of people who do not even have electricity let alone have access to internet. There are some who may have never heard of it. Therefore, you are blessed right where you are. This is your building block. One of the things that I often share is that building a business has to be done on purpose with direction to have success. But all of that starts with one block. And theirs is having the desire to want to have an MLM business online. Many times we spin our wheels talking about why me, why did this happen to me. Here is the rub, I know that it stinks and you just want to have a magic wand to make it go away, but chances are it will not. Focusing on why will not solve your problem. Mike Murdock wrote a book and he talks about wealth coming through solving a problem. He was absolutely correct. If you create value, solve a problem, fill needs, and then you will receive compensation. Think about things that were invented i.e. paper clip, television, shoes, hair spray, light bulb, etc. These things all solved a problem and were valuable to many and filled their need. You can think about writers, singers, actors, etc. These individuals are valuable for entertainment; they solve a problem and fill a need. We all have gifts that if we look deep within can help others with it. We all have the ability to solve a problem, fill a need and be a valuable asset to others. Remember no matter where you are you can get to wherever you want to go. You are never too far down where you cannot come up. It is never too late.
FIFTH, use the circle of difference and an impact on the world around you. We all have situations in our lives that have created our inspiring story. However, just because we have an inspiring story does not mean that we have used it to inspire others. The inspiration circle goes a little like this. You have more exposure, more results, and platform of impact all pointing to Your Daily Routine.
Your daily routine = more results = more exposure = platform of impact
GET YOURSELF TOGETHER
What happens is your daily routine is the core of your business and without it there isn't anything. If you do not have a solid, consistent, daily routine you will not have a successful business and it will feel as if you are going in circles and never getting anywhere. You have to get that daily routine down. Your #1 element for your daily routine is to get as many people looking at your presentation. Why don’t you say it out loud now!
“My number one priority is to show as many people as possible my opportunity”
Say it again:
“My number one priority is to show as many people as possible my opportunity”
The thing that makes you different is the way you handle your situations because we all have had rough patches, we all have felt as though we had been kicked in the teeth, let down, experienced deaths, divorces, health issues, etc. So, if you do not get your daily routines together you will never obtain success in order to have an impact on other people’s lives. You may see these top income earners on a platform speaking and wonder if they were just picked up and placed there. Literally no, but it almost was that perfect because they got the fundamentals down right away. When people create success they are “Leader Makers”.
GET YOURSELF TOGETHER NOW
As I grow my business I look for people to work with who have a daily routine that they are getting results from and they are consistently implementing which gets them exposure to other platforms. That is what a good up line does. They help inspire their team to get results with the use of great daily habits. They look for good stories particularly tough stories that developed into great stories despite their tough stories. THIS IS POWERFUL. FOCUS on your DAILY ROUTINE if you want to create greater results. There are a number of things that you can incorporate in your daily routine but at the very top of your list should be to get as many people as you humanly possibly can to look at your presentation and I promise that you will get great results and PURPOSE DIRECTED SUCCESS.
