On January 10th we were able to attend an event in LA where numerous people received awards based on their income level with this business opportunity. Most of the awards were for new and upcoming leaders and were called Rising Stars. The other awards were for the top 10 income earners. During the event and throughout the rest of the evening people kept telling me that they were going to be one of the top 10 income earners next year. They were stating their goal right then and there and with some consistency, persistency, and the willingness to do whatever it takes, will definitely be there.
Now, I probably had nearly 50 people tell me that same goal and since there are only 10 awards, obviously not everyone of those 50 can get that award. What will the ones who are successful do differently than the ones who will not receive that award?
If asked, I am sure they will say that they will do whatever it takes, as long as it takes. Honestly, I think they would all say they would do whatever it takes, not just the successful ones. So what separates words from actions? What is the difference?
The ones who are successful in receiving that award really are going to do whatever it takes, as long as it takes. The ones who do not receive the award will do whatever it takes, as long as it is convenient! Do you see the difference there. They will work their business only when they are 100%, in a great mood, feeling healthy, have spare time that day or in other words have perfect working conditions. The successful ones will work their business regardless of the environment. They will make time to do what it takes even if it means having to sacrifice a Tee Time at the Golf Course one day. The ultimate working environment is very rarely just around, but it can be created and is created by those who are in the right mindset. Willpower, ambition and determination are all ingredients of doing whatever it takes in order to get what you want, not just a want.
Take for instance a Father. He would do whatever it took to provide and protect his family, if and only if, he loved them, is passionate, determined and has the willpower to do so. If he doesn’t, you get a dead head Dad who is never around, a horrible father and someone who never amounts to anything in his childrens eyes. Only those will an unquenchable desire to succeed will do all that it takes to make it happen!
Take a look at your business and single out the things you do only when they are convenient and do them regardless, consistently. I am curious to see that the results will be!
