I came across this statement yesterday as I was going over some notes in preparation for a meeting. I know I have addressed this before, but it's been a while and it never hurts to repeat interesting ideas. Here it is....Success is not an event. Very simple. Very accurate.
In the first couple years, when I was really trying to learn and act on what I was learning, the following words would be in my mind occasionally: "I wonder if this business will ever work for us like it does those people I listen to at these meeting?" I'm just like everyone: there are good days and then there are those days - that at times turn into weeks -where I would have doubt. Doubt has a way of taking away a person's energy and focus. I learned that it was my responsibility to fight doubt every step of the way.
What I learned about fighting doubt was simple: positive activity that produces small successes is what overcomes that doubt. If you want to stay positive and active, it's a matter of working at the fundamentals; when you do so, you set the stage for those small successes to come your way. Success is not an event, but that success you want for yourself is right around the corner as long as you keep yourself active, doing the right things for building this business.
The only way doubt can win is through inactivity. There are people in every town and city that want and need what we have to offer in terms of the products and the earning possibilities. Be active. Positive activity will eventually produce positive results. Think about it.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
