Choices

We've been in this great business of network marketing now for over 40 years. The longer I'm in this business the more I believe that this is not only about a great company, products that will never let a person down, and having a process that we know works to enable a person to build themselves a great future. It's a mind business as much as anything and I figured out a long time ago that the biggest job we have as an individual is to learn how to protect our mind.

 

I believe very strongly that the people who win that internal battle are the people who plow ahead and put blinders on themselves like a farmer does to a horse so they don't get distracted. We all experience internal battles at various times - life and business are about handling doubt, disappointment, setbacks and negativity. I'm sure none of this is news to you.

 

Learning how to mentally fight back is a terrific skill - yes, a skill. Skills are developed by confronting and learning how to handle obstacles, over and over and over again. They never seem to go away. Having good healthy thinking can't guarantee high level success but it does give a person the best possible chance to succeed at those higher levels.

 

What I think it comes down to is this: we get to make choices. We decide what we will do, what to think about, what to believe and what to ignore. Excuse me for doing a little bragging here but I think I'm really good at choosing what to ignore. My choice is to focus on the incredible future we have with Shaklee, and to ignore anything that has potential to distract me from my choices.

 

Enthusiastically,

Gary Burke
