The longer I'm in this business the more I'm convinced that more people can build and grow a future to high levels if they would just accept the idea that there are no secrets. There have been untold numbers of books that outline what steps to take, but there are no secrets. There are meetings, conferences, webinars, conference calls and three-way calls all of which are designed to help people get a grasp of what it takes, but there are no secrets.
There is a quote from Lou Holtz who was one of the best football coaches in the country at one time. He taught the following: "Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."
Coach Holtz doesn't say what your upline does or what your company does. It's about the individual, you and me. We can have personal coaches, mentors, DVDs or CDs and untold great videos. But it still comes back to you and me. Based on coach Holtz's three points, I think it comes down to this. You have the ability - YES, you do have the ability but you have to be willing to learn. This means willing to do what has to be done and learn as you go.
So ability is something you have. It is your responsibility to become motivated. Get to meetings. Read books. Have a mentor who has done what it is you want to do. Listen and act on what you learn.
The final thing everyone needs is the right attitude. Having a great attitude takes work but a great attitude will help you also become an overcomer. People with great attitudes encounter obstacles, problems, and fears just like everyone else, but they continue to make progress because their attitude won't allow them to accept anything but success. A person who won't be stopped can't be stopped. Are you that person
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
