Are you STRUGGLING in your MLM, Network Marketing, or Home Based Biz? What's stopping you from reaching your goals or moving from where you are to where you want to go? This article could be the key in helping you TAKE ACTION and GET RESULTS!
IF you are like most people today, you are overwhelmed with too much to do and too little time. There just isn't enough time for everything on our "To Do" list - and odds are there never will be. You will never be caught up. Here are some tips to help you MOVE FORWARD!
1. Managing Your Time:
Successful people don't try to do everything. Successful people are those who are willing to delay gratification and make sacrifices in the short term so that they can enjoy far greater rewards in the long term. For some reason, too many people believe the process is supposed to be easy, and when they find out that achievement takes effort, they give up! However success takes some work. The only place wealth comes before work is in the dictionary. But the time is going to pass anyway. The only question is how you will use it and where you are going to end up at the end of the months and years that lie ahead.
Resist the temptation to clear up the small things first. Prioritize! Do the first things first and the second things not at all. There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always time to do the most important thing.
THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST MUST NEVER BE AT THE MERCY OF THE THINGS THAT MATTER LEAST!
The key to success is ACTION! Do not wait: the time will never be "just right". If you wait for perfect timing, you'll wait forever! Procrastination is the cornerstone of poverty. Since you can't do everything, you must learn to put off those tasks that are of low value so that you have enough time to do the few things that really count.
2. The Attitude Adjustment:
A man (or woman) is defeated not by his opponents but by himself. The greatest battle you wage against failure occurs on the inside, not the outside. Failure is an inside job...So is success. If you want to achieve, you have to win the war in your thinking first. How do you win that battle? You start by cultivating the right attitude. Your Attitude will determine your Altitude!
"Always bear in mind that your resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing." - Abraham Lincoln
So what is holding you back? What determines how fast you move from where you are to where you want to go? What stops you or holds you back from reaching your goals?
The road to the next level is always uphill. But achieving success is not a secret, it's not a mystery. There's a formula to it. I used to ask myself, "Why is it that other people are doing better than I am?" I had fallen into the trap of assuming that people who were doing better than me might actually be better or more fortunate than me. What I learned was this was not necessarily true, and what they had learned to do I could do as well. I am still amazed at how simple and obvious it is. Just find out what successful people do and do the same things until you get the same results. Wow! What a concept!
3. The Formula:
Simply put, some people are doing better than others because they are doing certain things differently; especially because they use their time far, far better than the average person.
Let me relate it to you this way: If you put $10,000 in an account for 4 years that got you back $1,000 or could put that same $10,000 in an account that got you back $100,000 which would you choose? No brainer, right? You're making the same deposit but you're getting a different return. Well, you're going to work anyway over the next few years. Why not spend your time more wisely and build your dream instead of someone else's. The time investment is the same, you're just working smarter, not harder. Again, you're making the same deposit but you'll get a much better return. This is what wealthy people know and do!
They know that it's nearly impossible to get the life you truly desire working your whole life for someone else, so they choose to spend their time going in a different direction so that they can have a different outcome. That's all it is!
4. Why Network Marketing:
I love this business. I love it because anyone with a dream and the will to work half as hard for themselves as they have for someone else can reach any goal they desire. I love it because, in network marketing, the brass ring is out there for anyone to grab, so long as you are willing to reach for it. We are a free people. We are free to succeed or fail. We can make excuses or progress. We can hide behind the challenges and obstacles each of us have and will continue to have, or march right through them so that we can live a life based on what we want to do with our time rather than what we have to do to survive.
Sadly though, most people will wait; wait and hope that they'll wake up someday and find themselves rich. Actually, they've got it half right, because eventually they do wake up. And while it's true that you may risk failure if you try something bold, it's even truer that you'll most certainly risk failure if you stand still.
"The greater danger in life is not that we aim too high and miss it, but that we aim too low and reach it!" - Michelangelo
All one has to do is believe in themselves and TAKE ACTION. That's what I did, and I'm so excited every day to see more and more people creating financial freedom through our industry.
It's a choice, a choice that we are all free to make. What choice will you make? And remember, if you need a helping hand, I've got two!
To your success!
