Just write

This morning seems tough to get my mind in gear.  We all go through times when we just don't feel like doing what it is we really want to do. This morning is like that for me. It's about getting started again. Today is Monday, a new week and I feel like doing nothing.

I think I'll do what I read a few years ago.   I recall reading that when you sit down to write and nothing comes to mind, just write. I remember reading that like it was last week. Just write. Write what?  Something. Anything. Just get yourself started. That's what I'm doing right now, trying to get myself moving or inspired by something...all I want is a word. Just a word.

Aha!  Getting myself started. What a great idea. All of us in this business work for ourselves. We are not employees of Shaklee and we do what we want to do whenever we get around to it. It's not just about activity as much as it's about making progress and moving towards accomplishing a goal we may have. We have to make a decision to eliminate the excuses and reasons for not taking action and a good step in making this happen is to have an accountability partner.

We all need at least one person who will always encourage us. We need a cheerleader. A person that no matter what, thinks we're great and tells us we will achieve our goals. An accountability partner. Do you have a person in your life that fits the above description? This kind of person is incredibly valuable. All of us need help in some way to get back on track and do those things we know we have to do in order to grow.

The other thought I have is really important. Are you the kind of person that encourages people in your downline? Do you constantly remind them that they can make it happen because they are the right person for this business? We all have to just get ourselves started and then get started again no matter how many times it is needed. Hey, I feel better right now than I did about 20 minutes ago. I got started.  I just started to write and here I am - done!

Enthusiastically,

Gary Burke
