Learning is a process

I was talking with a new person who is very excited about the potential of this opportunity but at the same time is kind of frustrated by what has to be learned.   This person wants to know everything NOW. I certainly understand that thinking but it doesn't happen that way.   Learning this business isn't an event, it's a process.  

There is a learning curve in everything. My suggestion to anyone who truly wants to have a successful future in this business is to not allow yourself to get overwhelmed. The same holds true for developing the necessary skills; don't allow yourself to become overwhelmed with what appears complex today because as you learn and get more experience it becomes simple. To me today this business is very simple. When I first got involved there were a number of things I had to learn and I made a decision that I just had to learn what the successful people knew. If they could do it, I just had to learn it. That was my strategy and of course it worked.

The more active you are working at the basics of this business the faster you will learn and develop the skills for building an incredible future. In other words, if one person is having two appointments a month and another person is doing two to three appointments a week, who do you think will learn the most the fastest? It goes back to the saying, "what you put into it is what you will get out of it."   Simple but true.

If you want this business to become more simple it's a matter of putting in the effort and getting the needed experience. One thing I hear a lot is, "I need some more information." That may be true but most of the time what a person really needs is more experience. Think about it.

Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
