Facing the Giant
There's certainly nothing new about it: quitting.
People have forever quit on everything. People quit jobs, quit going to the gym, quit going to church, quit on their marriages, and in some cases even quit on themselves.
At TraVerus, the ONLY way to lose is to quit.
So, it's not going as fast as you would like. You talked to your brother in law and he said "No". Big deal.
You would be amazed at how many people who do get rich in network marketing - were tempted to quit right before it all came together for them.
But there is no disputing the fact that in this microwave society of instant results we live in, that most people get tired of waiting, trying, dreaming and just give up. Why is this?
The following is at least a partial list of reasons (excuses) why people quit:
1. They really were never very clear about what they wanted to begin with. It's not enough to say, "I want more money", or, "I want to be a success". You must have an exact, specific, detailed image of what you are doing this for. "Your why better make you cry."
2. They thought it would easier. Let's be honest. We want it, and we want it handed to us, and we want it now. The winning lottery numbers, yeah, that would be easy.
3. They thought it would happen sooner and more quickly. They don't want to wait, pay the price and really grow the business. "What, I've been doing TraVerus for six months and I'm not financially independent yet!"
4. They didn't think it would involve work. Sounds funny, even to say it, but is true. Many people don't get the concept that TraVerus is a business like anything else and involves work to get it where you want it. Work this like a business, and it will reward you like a business.
5. They let someone kill their dreams. Dream stealers, they're everywhere. They think it's their place in life to tell you all the reasons that this won't work.
Everyone from you neighbor to your in-laws has an opinion about everything. Everyone thinks they are the final authority. I have a clue for you: If the guy or gal (including your spouse) giving their opinion doesn't earn the kind of income and have the kind of lifestyle that you would like to have, what are you even listening to them for?
6. Biggest reason of all: Somewhere along the way, they lost faith in themselves and the opportunity.
Look over the above list carefully. Are there any area's in your experience where you are wavering? Thinking about giving up?
It is important to continually feed your mind with the right kind of knowledge and encouragement through books, DVD's and CD's. If you've been reading this newsletter for a while, you know what a fanatic about self-improvement I am.
I had someone say a little sarcastically one time, "You really ARE into this self improvement thing - aren't you?"
To which I answered, "Well, yes ... I guess I am. Since I suppose the alternative would be what? Not be interested in self-improvement?"
Listen. Keep going for it. Just do the work, and enjoy the process. Find ways to celebrate even those who say "no". Don't expect that there will always be a crowd cheering you on.
The truth is, most people don't want to see you succeed big time anyway. They are afraid you'll get too far ahead of them. They're afraid your success will show their lack of effort for what it is.
Don't Give Up !!!
