Opportunity is an interesting word. It can mean many things to many people. It can mean a chance, a probability, an occasion, luck, a decision, a choice, destiny, turning things around, taking advantage of something, doing it again, starting over...we all face opportunity every day of our lives because we make decisions every day to say or to do something.
In our business, we have an opportunity to literally change our lives. It's happened to thousands of people in this industry of network marketing. So my question for today and something to think about over the weekend is this: where am I headed?
If we don't change our direction we're likely to end up where we're headed.
I remember some of my first thoughts as I was checking things out about this business.
"I wonder if it's true about the company, the products, and the earning opportunity? I wonder if I can do that? I've never seen an opportunity like this. What would I have to do? I don't know many people who would be interested."
Bottom line I was just like so many other people who get involved, because I had a lot of "WHAT IFs."
I certainly wanted to change my direction because as I've said so many times at meetings and in these messages, I thought, "I have what some would consider a good job but I don't have a future." Doggone it, I really wanted a future and somehow, I knew the difference between a good job and a future. So a simple thing happened: I chose to build this business. I had doubts at times just like everyone else. It was challenging, but at the same time, inspiring to me and I think it was because in some way I knew it was up to me to make it or break it. It wasn't up to the company or the products. It was up to me. Period.
You have the same opportunity as every person who has ever made the decision to get started. Lots of people don't pursue the dream they have in their heart. Little things stop many people. It's not always easy. It takes time and effort. But this I know: I know you will never regret working hard at learning what has to be learned and accepting the opportunity for what it is. A chance to change things. Accept the challenge and remember, it's up to you to stick with it and make it work. No finger pointing allowed.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
