There is a key for making changes and I hope this might challenge some of you to
take these words and challenge yourself so you can make progress in whatever it is you want to succeed at. A strategy for personal and business growth is you have to decide to be willing to be uncomfortable for a short period of time.
Any time a person is planning on doing something they haven’t done before there will be that feeling of being uncomfortable. Most people talk themselves out of a better future just because they aren’t willing to step across that line in the sand and overcome doubt and fear.
When I got started in this business it was so exciting to hear the ideas of what a person could have if they would be willing to build their own Shaklee business. I wasn’t looking for a business on May 1, 1970. I was looking for a job. I’m forever thankful that I found Shaklee before I found a job. But there were obstacles. I had never done anything like what these Shaklee people were talking about.
I was very uncomfortable with the idea to approach people with this new idea. I was also very uncomfortable thinking of doing meetings. YIKES! I grew very slow because of the doubts I had about what it would take to be successful. There were some people becoming Key and Master Coordinator in 3 to 5 years. It took us 8 years. I had to overcome those doubtful thoughts just like many of you.
My desire to be successful in Shaklee was stronger than the doubts and fears. So I just kept overcoming being uncomfortable. It took some time but it was worth it.You can overcome whatever is stopping you from making this business work but you might also have to fight those doubts and feelings of being uncomfortable. Go for it!
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
