Greetings,
Over the years, I have purchased various books and booklets about personal development and success.
I love reading how other people describe things related to growing a business and a life. The following is from a small booklet I had for many years.
Kind of simple, isn't it? The question is also very simple....Do you have a main goal? When I reflect back it was about the 5th or 6th month that I decided I wanted to be a Master Coordinator. How did I arrive at that goal? I had the opportunity here in Minneapolis to listen to 2 of the top people in all of Shaklee and both were Master Coordinators. There were only 3 in the country at that specific time and we had two of them right here.
I heard them both speak a number of times those first months and at the time I didn't know squat about how to build this business. But I determined I could learn to do whatever it took to build a business. We never really grew fast. Some qualified as Master in 3 years during those years. It took us 8 years to the month to get it done. Here is my point, I had a main goal and there wasn't a day I didn't think about making it happen.
I didn't compare myself to those who grew faster (I learned from them) and that was the smartest thing I did. I am who I am.
Do you have a main goal? What is it? Will you stick with it and not compare yourself with people who grow faster? Just be the best you can be. Learn as you go. Be consistent with your thinking and your efforts.
Don't allow anyone or anything rob you of your main goal. It's your job to keep your dream alive.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
