I think this quote is something many of us experience as we get started building our Shaklee business. We hear of an idea and we start thinking and dreaming “What if?” “Why not me?”
“Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther.”
I remember the first time I attended a Shaklee meeting and heard this new idea about the kind of future that was available. I was a young guy who had a job but didn’t have a future. It was a good job as it was with a Fortune 500 company, but I didn’t see a future for me and I was looking. All of a sudden this new idea brings on new thinking. Wow! What if this is true that I could learn how to build our own business. The biggest investment would be my time. I checked it out for 4 months and made the decision that literally changed our lives.
My goal was Coordinator. At that time it took 4 first level Directors to be a Coordinator. That was my dream. I thought if I could earn a couple thousand dollars extra a month I would have it made. At the time I was earning about $750.00 a month. It took Faye and I two years to develop those 4 first levels working part time at this opportunity.
My thinking changed. We achieved our goal but once there we could see farther just as the above quote says. As I was thinking about the success we had I just knew if we just kept doing the basic things we learned in those first two years we could continue to grow this business to higher levels. We did exactly that.
It’s true that once you make progress you will be able to see a little further and start thinking different. That new thinking will allow you to continue doing what you’ve been learning and once this happens you and your business will grow. If you do the work this will happen. Don’t allow anything to get in your way as you go after your dream.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
