I first subscribed to Success magazine over 40 years ago. Reading good material has been one of my main ways for self improvement. I read the following comment years ago and it had a positive effect on me: "Readers aren't always leaders, but leaders are always readers."
There is an article in this month's issue titled "High-Flying Entrepreneur." The following is an excerpt from the article: "With any new venture, he says it's important not to limit yourself by thinking you have to have all the answers at first; you learn and grow as you go. I would challenge people to push themselves outside of their comfort zone. It is then when extraordinary things can happen."
The words I've underlined struck me as I read this article - "it's important not to limit yourself." This happens in Shaklee all the time. I hear people talk about what they can't do. 'I don't have time, don't know many people, I can't sell, no one comes to my meetings, I've never done this type of thing before.' On and on it can go. The point is that for the most part people seem to limit themselves by continually talking about what they don't have or can't do.
It's a fact that you don't have to know everything before you get started. If you truly want things to change for the positive for yourself, start talking positively to yourself about what you're going to do and how you're willing to learn as you go. Think about this over the weekend.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
