Home Business Training Tip From Eric Boles
Posted by Deb BixlerAre you “trying” to work your business or are you doing it?
This is an article that has been on my “to write” blogging list for awhile. The interview last night with former NFL player and motivational business coach, Eric Boles, prompted me to write it now.
Work Your Home Business!
As a home business coach I often hear consultants say “I am trying to work my business….” or do such and such.
Then I quip:
Trying is lying… either do it or don’t! But for goodness sake, please stop trying!
People who try rarely succeed. People who do always succeed. In business there is no room for trying.
Eric Boles Says: Training
On our CashFlowShow – Direct Sales Radio interview last night with Eric Boles (1/11/12) he said something that really made sense!
We are not trying to work our business….
We are training to work our business!
Substituting the word training any (and every) time you use the word trying will make you more effective.
This is a small attitude adjustment that would make a big impact on your business long term.
It focuses on the positive of improvement rather than the negative of pretending to make an attempt at something that is hard. (The dictionary even says trying is difficult.) Trying is the first step toward failure!!
WAHM Success Tip
Anyone working from home (WAHM) who makes this small attitude adjustment will achieve better success in the New Year.
Eric says from now on say:
- I am training to be good at scheduling shows!
- I am training to be a better father!
- I am training to write my business goals!
- I am training to organize my office!
PERFECT!! I love it!!
