There is a trend that will set you up for ultimate failure
without you even knowing it. A trend that is so discreet
and subversive that you may not even know it's happening
to you.
Many people start out by saying . . . "I don't have a lot
of money or time, but I really want to make this business work.
I want you to show me exactly how to do this business without
having to spend any money or devote a significant amount of time
because I don'thave either."
Well, my team knows I don't mind helping anyone get their business
going, but when I hear or read this from a newbie I silently shake
my head in disappointment. I'm not disappointed because they don't
have money or time for their business, but rather because of their
mindset from the outset. These people whether they know it or not
are disqualifying themselves away from success. They are approaching
this business as if they "could" have a winning lottery ticket.
They bought in and now they are waiting to cash in. Too much hope
and not enough confidence. When you approach your business from the
initial standpoint of what you don't have, you're working from the
wrong paradigm. In essence what this paradigm says is . . . "I hope
this works, so tell me exactly what to do and I'll do it as long as
it doesn't take much money or time and if doesn't work in Xamount of
time I'm going to quit because IT obviously doesn't work.
" This is WRONG!
But, I understand why people unknowingly think this way. I get emails
just like everyone else and most of them say .. . "Join this business
under me and I'll build your downline for you." As if just getting in
is going to make you money. Sure for the marketer that sends out these
messages they will probably get quite a few people to join their business
because they are playing on our inherent laziness, but think about this
approach long term.
Say you get in a business with someone with this approach and they do
put lots of people under you in your business. Why are those people below
you? They are all WAITING for the initial person to put more people under
them. They may stick around for a while, but it's highly unlikely that
many of them will ever take any action themselves. Further for the marketer
themselves, they're not growing a downline of people wanting to create
freedom for themselves, rather they are actually attracting people that
are waiting for the marketer to do it all for them.
Take it from me, that's not the type of team you want to attract if you're
looking at this business with a long term perspective. So . . . With this
message pervading the market I can see why so many unsuspecting people buy
into it and think that someone else doing everything for them without them
really putting in personal time or money is going to work. It's lazy and it
can create some initial excitement, but that's about it.
When you approach your business with the above mentioned perspective - what
you don't have or can't do, you - are setting yourself up for failure and
you are limiting your chance of success. I don't care if you don't have a
dollar to your name, don't treat your business like you don't have a dime
or any time. If you run your business from a poverty standpoint it will pay
you like bankrupt business.
Can you make money in the Home Seller Assist program with very little time
or money? Yes, but you have to think of your business from an abundant standpoint.
Personally I didn't have much money or time when I began my business, but I
never thought about it as being a disadvantage. Instead I thought . . . How can
I create the money and time that I will need to create high levels of success?
The resources you need for success are out there whether you have them immediately
or not. It's your job first to realize this and then to creatively find ways to
tap into them.
Don't kill your business before it even begins by disqualifying yourself from success!
Have a great Thanksgiving!!!
