Success is predictable and measurable if...

I want to follow up on yesterday's message about the book The Compound Effect.  While driving to our lake place yesterday I listened to a CD and was very inspired. I started thinking about those people who read some of these messages and truly would like to grow their business to levels they have not reached yet.  

Building a business and a future isn't always easy. I certainly recognize that.  But it is a simple business and there are principles to learn that if worked at make the building process very predictable. I want you to read the excerpts I have selected from the book and I would ask that you stop and think about what this is saying to you. 

"The Compound Effect is predictable and measurable - that's great news!   Isn't it comforting to know you only need to take a series of tiny steps, consistently, over time, to radically improve your life.  The most challenging aspect of the Compound Effect is that we have to keep working away for a while, consistently and efficiently, before we can begin to see the payoff."

At times when we're working and taking these tiny steps, it can seem like nothing is working. I know that for a fact because that is exactly what I have experienced many times over the years. I developed the attitude that every day can't be the best day of my life so just keep on doing the right things and good things will happen. The right things (or the tiny steps) are: be bold, keep talking to people, get appointments, tell the Shaklee story, follow up, and of course, stay positive even though things don't seem to be working as fast as we want them to work.

We have to be diligent with our efforts, keep learning and getting better every week. The only way to get better is by taking action. No one gets better just listening to conference calls or webinars week after week after week. You will see the payoff as long as you're out there trying and doing the right things. You will get better over time and that is the major point - over time are the key words in this message. 

Think about it.  Take action.  Over time you're going to get better and better and you and your business will grow.

Enthusiastically,
