The reason you joined Network Marketing or a home business is for the lifestyle. You want to be free, have no boss, stay at home with your kids, travel. But focusing on the lifestyle and not achieving it can cause you to beat yourself up emotionally. "I'm a failure!" "Why can't I do this!"
Well before you can achieve lifestyle, you must first achieve success. That is, you must have a thriving business that generates the income to enjoy the lifestyle. But how to you achieve success?
Before success can be achieved, you must have the right actions. These are the IPAs of business - "Income Producing Activities." That means you have to pick up the phone, learn how to prospect effectively, how to close, how to train. Most people in a home business spend a lot of time listening to training videos and books about "How To" do these skills. Still, they find themselves procrastinating picking up that phone - telephonaphobia someone termed it! Again, the cycle of self doubt enters to beat you up and make you feel like a failure. You know you should do these IPAs but you just can't make yourself do them. Why?
Actions are produced by feelings. If you just don't feel like it, then you don't do it - it's just that simple. Yet you still want the lifestyle and are frustrated with where you are in life. You might go to a seminar, read a book and get pumped up and change your feelings temporarily, but then a day later you feel the same as you did before and you again, just don't feel like doing the actions to bring you success and ultimately the lifestyle! Vicious cycle huh!
So what causes feelings? Feelings come from beliefs. What is it inside of your mind that is actually limiting your feelings and ultimately your actions? You have been programmed in life and by life to believe certain things about yourself and your environment. You've heard the saying, "You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy?" Well that means that your programming is internal and goes with you wherever you go. That's why changing locations or companies doesn't work because your internal beliefs haven't changed.
Those beliefs come from programming and if you want to change your beliefs, then you must change the programs that are running in your mind. I used to fly C-130's in the Coast Guard. If we plotted a course on our navigational system and engaged the auto-pilot, the plane would fly itself to the destination automatically. You could manually force the yoke forward to a lower altitude or turn to another heading, but it was a struggle. As soon as you let go of the controls, the plane would correct itself and re-engage the route and altitude and continue on it's programmed path. If we wanted to change our destination, we had to disengage the auto-pilot, and reprogram the nav system to a new location, then re-engage the auto pilot and the plane would correct itself in a new direction.
Your internal programming is exactly the same. You can force yourself to do something temporarily and it requires effort but until you change the internal programming, you'll eventually end up on the same course you were before.
So, if you want the lifestyle, you have to achieve success first. If you want success you have to do the actions first. If you want do do the actions, you have to have the right feelings first. And if you want to have the right feelings you have to reprogram your mind to THINK differently before you can ever achieve the success and lifestyle you want.
Do you hear what you're thinking? Don't believe everything you think. The middle letters in belief are LIE and most of what you believe about yourself is a lie, so learn to re-program your mind. If you empty your wallet to change your mind, then your mind will fill your wallet. Spend money to read, take courses, and listen to the right things that will reprogram your thinking and you're on your way to success.
