TURNING THE CORNER
"One of the secrets of success is to refuse to let temporary
setbacks defeat us."
Mary Kay
How many times I've heard consultants
say, "I don't think I'm cut out for this
business," or "I just can't seem to make it
work." When a party cancels or one of
our top sellers leaves the
business, it's
natural to get discouraged and feel
overwhelmed. We all experience obstacles
and setbacks as we build our business.
I cannot tell you how many times I've seen people get so discouraged that
they quit just as they were about to reach a goal they had worked so long
and hard to achieve. It has been said in order to experience the bright
light of success, you must first walk through the darkness of uncertainty.
We all experience doubts and fears as we set goals and work to achieve them.
The most successful people I know have been paralyzed with fear at one time
or another, but do you know how they conquered it? With persistence! By
picking up the phone and making one more call; setting one more appointment;
continuing to move forward, one foot in front of the other. They also
experienced doubt, but they stuck with the other. They also experienced
doubt, but they stuck with their dreams and didn't give up. They turned one
more corner … opened one more door.
In this business, it only takes one positive phone call…one new hostess…one
new chain of business…one party…one new prospect or lead… one person's
enthusiasm, support or validation…to re-ignite our passion for our business.
It just takes one!
Don't give up on your goals. Give yourself a chance to experience the
success you deserve. Keep you eye on the big picture and the opportunities
this business offers.
