Doing What's Required To Succeed by: Lois R. Thompson
This is an area in which I believe most people miss their opportunity for achieving success.
Your first requirement should be in identifying your passion. There a saying which goes: "the gifts and callings make room for themself". The same is true with your passion. Once you have identified your passion, it's amazing how the creativity, commitment and perseverance will being to flow.
Do you recall the musical 'Man of La Mancha'? Here Don Quixote urges all who will listen to "dream the impossible dream". What is your dream, what sparks your passion? Your passion is really your destination, and your goals are your transportation.
What does identifying your passion have to do with all this. We'll take a look at that in a moment, but first.
* Sharpening your vision
Without a vision we perish, struggling aimlessly though life, with a sense of defeat and nagging unfulfillment. It is therefore important to develop a clear vision for your life. Again, what is your passion? What is it that stirs you from deep within?
Dig deep, find it and bring clarity to it.
* Establish a pattern for success
As we've learned goal setting is a key factor in our journey of success. Since goals range between long term and short term, you must learn how to distinguish between the both. Be honest and realistic about the amount of time and monetary cost associated with achieving your goals. Are your objectives worthy of the temporary sacrifices? Only you can determine that.
The achievement of one's goals and dreams requires work. Are you willing to do due diligence? Many people blow it here. They set lofty goals, then they sit and wait for it to happy. Success doesn't happen that way. It calls for a definite plan, a timetable, discipline and perseverance.
* Commit to giving
The concept of Network Marketing is based on the principle of giving first. You'll find that when your goal is centered around giving into the lives of others it releases a fire to your passion and sustenance that enables you to remain unmovable during challenging time.
Here is a true story to demonstrate this concept.
In 1921, while working for Westinghouse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, DeWitt Wallace was faced with some hard times. But he never loss sight of his passion. His goal and dream which was to publish a 'little magazine' as a Reader's Service. His concept of this service was to provide the reader with condensed articles offering information of value, issued in a small pocket size publication that the reader could have readily accessible. DeWitt set out on his mission with a clear vision, and a well thought out plan he set out for his accomplishment.
DeWitt, began contacting known publishers of his day, including the well-known William Randolph Hearst. Mr. Hearst rejected DeWitt's concept. Being a man committed to the conviction of his passion of 'helping other people', he forged forward in face of the obstacles. He is quoted to have said: "I don't care if I made a penny, as long as the magazine served the reader". What conviction? what passion?
With a sharpened vision, an established plan and an unwavering commitment to work for the good of others, DeWitt Wallace and his wife Lila moved confidently on to achieve their objective in 1922. It's amazing, but as they did it the way was made clear before them.
Finally, when the Wallace's died the 'little magazine' they had started in the face of many challenges had 100 million readers, 30 million subscribers, 18 million of which were in the United States, an heritage of the greatest publication success story of all-time and a world-renowned magazine known as Reader's Digest.
So regardless of the size of your goal, keep it centered in helping others, stand steadfast in you determination to it's success and forge forward. It can be done!
As you've just read in the story of DeWitt and Lila Wallace, the first priority should not be about how much can I make at the expense of others. No, instead how can I utilize my passion to serve others. How can I assist you in achieving what you want. It is in that, that I'll receive what I want.
Here is how that could be applied.
There is gentleman in one of my down-line organizations. He loves our product, sees the benefit of it for himself and others. However, his passion is Golf. He not only loves golf, but is passionate about providing useful information to other golf enthusiasts. For a while there seemed to be no way to connect the two. Then suddenly in a conversation we were having I asked the following questions, he gave the following answers:
My question:
Do you think the folks to whom you are offering info on Golfing would have a need to increase their income so they could more easily afford the cost of playing golf?
His answer:
Yes
My question:
Do you think some of those golf lovers you are reaching would love to be able to retire from their JOB early so they could peruse their passion of playing golf?
His answer:
Yes
My question:
Then do you suppose some of those reading your information on playing golf would like an opportunity to increase their income...become debt free?
His answer:
Yes
The point of this being, his heart is in the right place. He is following his passion which has to do with playing golf. In doing so he is offering a service which tells golf lovers where they can find discounted golf courses and such. Here is not persuing his passion for his own selfish gain, but he is doing so for the good of the many. Through the relationship which was developed with his golf loving buddies, he now has the opportunity to see their need and offer them the solution by introducing them to his MLM opportunity.
Get the picture? :-)
