How’s your PERSONAL “WHY”?

So, you’ve written down your goals, you’ve shared them with a few trusted friends and confidentes who you think are going to support you, you are ready to move into 2010 with guns blazing and enthusiasm blaring…….. and then you car breaks down, your mother and father in law announce that they are coming to stay with you and your family for six weeks, your child brings home a poor report card, your best friend tells you he thinks you are crazy for getting into this network marketing scam……and three of your top producers find a “better opportunity”.

The enthusiasm is now waning and your guns are shooting blanks.  The old self doubt comes back….

well maybe network marketing isn’t for me, all those people that claim they are making it big –

well it is just a big fat lie, I am destined to live pay check to pay check – after all it was good

enough for my parents

And so the broken record repeats.  The self talk in your head repeats and tells you that you were really a fool to try this one more time anyway.  And so you consider quitting…….all your dreams swirling down the toilet, the vision of financial and time freedom flying out the window, the appointments you had planned to set with your kids for your “fun” training……gone……..

Well, road blocks are going to be put in your way, life is going to continue to throw you challenges and it is up to you to anticipate and plan on how you are going to overcome them.  Until you determine that your “WHY” is strong enough to overcome the obstacles that will be placed in your way, the obstacles will win.

So how are you going to stay true to the course?  Does the vision of the freedom you will gain from your success drive you to do what it takes – to overcome, to preserve, to learn, to grow, to stretch?  I am sure if you have been in this business for any amount of time you have been told that your WHY has to be “big”, “strong” and “alive”.  Honestly – that is the truth, when you have a driving desire for something you will let nothing stand in your way.

Remember back to when you were a kid and you were learning to ride your bike?  How many hours did you practice – with your Dad running beside you, holding you steady until you finally broke away and did it on your own?  Or remember bugging your Mom over and over again to let you sleep out in the back yard….relentlessly bugging, persisting, pestering your Mom – you just wouldn’t take no for an answer.  Get that persistence back!  Become the child again – remember the “please, please, please, Mom…..aww but Mom” lament? Reinstill that “don’t take no for an answer” attitude.

Last night I finished reading a book by John Milton Fogg, entitled “The Greatest Networker in the World” who walks a young man through the art of network marketing.  If you truly want to move past the hype and pomp that surrounds this business this book is an easy read – you can download it for free

John’s words have re-inspired me to become the Greatest Networker in the World, to move past the challenges, to hold true to my WHY, to be all I can be – how about you?
