Receive The
Phobia – Commitment
Posted by Deb BixlerDo You Have Commitment Issues?
I am not talking about in your personal relationship. I am talking about in your relationship with success in business. We have talked on several of our recent Power Hour Tele-seminars about sabotaging success or the “It’s not working for me” attitude. If that is your favorite line then it sounds like you do have business commitment issues or a phobia of commitment.
Acceptance And Commitment
The very definition of commitment means that you will not stop until it is obtained. Accepting that this takes time and staying committed to your quest are the main challenges faced by most people in home businesses. Acceptance is the key to serenity and commitment is the key to success. Are you committed to your business? The only way to fail in direct sales and network marketing is to stop.
The 80/20 Rule
Most people coming into this business think that it will be easy to make money. If it was easy then there would not be an 80/20 rule. The fact is that it is relatively simple. It takes time, focus, education, willingness and commitment to succeed in any business. I am sure that all reading this have heard of the 80/20 rule. 20% of the people do 80% of the sales or 80% of the people do not stick around for the results! Network marketers think they are unique. We are not so special. When I worked in the hospitality business, 20% of the employees did 80% of the work. 80% of the new hires quit before the first paycheck. MLM, direct sales, and network marketing are not different than the rest of the world.
Don t Stop Now
As in all areas of life, success in business takes time and effort. Our lack of commitment to the process, or lack of acceptance of the process, shows up in all areas of our life. Don’t stop now! Don’t quit!
I am sure that you have heard people say: “When my ship comes in, with my luck, I will be at the airport!” If you want to be there when your ship comes in, then my advice is to stay committed and stay at the boat dock until the ship gets there.
