Who sets the limits on what you can achieve?

The following is from a book titled Train Your Brain:

"The only limits we have are those limits which we put on ourselves."

When I read this last week the thing that came to my mind is what my hope was when I first saw the Shaklee opportunity over 40 years ago.  I feel I have to start there, at the beginning, so as I've said here before, basically I had 4 questions:  

1.  Is it true about the products?

2.  Is it true about the company?

3.  Is it true about the system...network marketing?

4.  Is it true that people are earning the kinds of income my sponsor talked about?

It took approximately 3 to 4 months for my belief to be really strong.  I asked questions, and attended meetings and that is where I learned the answer was "yes" to every question I had.

My big picture goal was this: if we could ever earn $3000 a month in this business it would be incredible.

That became my goal.  As time went on and we reached various levels of income I raised my expectations.

Once we got to $3000 a month, why not go for $6000 a month? Once we got to that level, I recalled a meeting I had attended where Al Hegerman held up a $10,000 check they had just received for the previous month's business, and my thought as I sat in the last row was, "If they could do that, so could we." So the goal became $10,000 a month. We continued to set new levels of achievement as we reached our goals.

Here is my point for today: I know that in order to be a Director it takes 2000 PV.  But please allow me to suggest that once you reach a new level, re-set your goals.  Don't sit at 2000 PV for weeks or months.  Why not 4000 PV? Why not 8000 PV? Why not earn $3000 a month, and when you make that, re-set to earn $6000 a month, etc.

All you have to do is the same things that got yourself to that first level of Director.  Stick with the fundamentals, keep it simple and reject complexity.  You followed a process to get to Director, now keep following that same process and I guarantee you will be consistent at making progress.  Remember the above quote....  "The only limits we have are those limits which we put on ourselves."

Enthusiastically,
