Where are you going?

Every year, as the New Year rolls in, just about everyone
takes time to re-examine the course of their lives. It's a
time-honored tradition. We think about our health, our
weight, our financial standing and about the future. And
every year we make our resolutions and we vow that this
year we will actually keep them.Well. Since everyday that
you wake up it is the first day of the rest of your life,
you start a New Year right then. Thus any day is a good day
to start to re-examine the course of their lives.

Yet we know from experience that the odds are against us.
Sooner or later we are bound to give up. In fact, studies
show that most people who make resolutions break them by
the third week in January. One reason it is the thing to
do. I say break that habit and make today the day you
start. One issue is timing: Exhausted after the holidays,
people are not well-equipped to make life changes.
According to psychologist Ellen strow, "There is little
correspondence between what people say and what they do."
Are you a person of your word? Do your deeds match your
words? Are you just passing hot air and gas? Simply knowing
that our resolutions are good for us doesn't seem to be
enough. We know that losing weight and getting in shape
will allow us to feel better and live healthier, but it's
not enough. We know that getting into action and building
our businesses will bring with it better financial health
and even complete financial independence, but it's still
not enough. What's missing? Where are you really going?

Have you written your goals down on paper? Do you really
believe what you write down? Do you have a mentor to help
hold you accountable? We seem to envy those who have
achieved what we desire. We envy those who are in shape. We
envy those who have built strong businesses despite a
faltering economy. The key is not to envy or sulk but to
study and learn what makes these people capable of
achieving what we dream about. Regardless of your past
accomplishments or failures, you are fully capable of
achieving your dreams. The issue is not what you can or
cannot do today but what you are capable of learning and
applying in the future. The bottom line is that you are the
only person who can cheat you out of success. And you can
only do this when you give up. Just you not your spouse,
friends, family or anyone else other than the person that
lives between your ears.

People who achieve their goals know that nothing will be
handed to them on a silver plate. Diet products the world
over promise fast results with low effort. Anyone who has
every tried a diet product for more than a month knows that
there's a little more to losing weight and keeping it off
it than that. Some people realize this and take the other
actions needed to achieve results; namely they exercise and
watch their caloric intake - they make a lifestyle change.
The diet product can help in achieving results but it's not
a magic solution. Yet many people assume that when a diet
product fails, it's the fault of the diet product. And so,
like misguided children, they move from one diet product to
the next looking for a solution that doesn't exist. Success
in network marketing is no different. People often look to
a product or "system" to solve all of their marketing
problems and deliver success. It pains me how many times I
hear people blame others, their leads, their products,
their company, their upline, for their failure. But that's
human nature isn't it? We always blame ourselves last. And
that may be the real difference between those who achieve
their dreams and goals and those who don't. IT is you and
only you. Tough mirror to look into, easier to blame others.

Achievers take responsibility for their own actions. By
doing that, they know that they are the ones that need to
change. If they feel unmotivated, they don't blame their
upline, product or service. Instead they figure out how to
get motivated. If they have trouble getting into action,
they learn how to schedule and prioritize. They don't make
excuses. If they fear talking to prospects, they learn how
prospects think, what they expect and how to build rapport.
If they have trouble with technology they read a book or
take a class to overcome it. They go out and find a mentor
to help. Do you have a mentor that can teach and show you
how?

Taking responsibility for your own actions leaves you in
control. It empowers you to become the master of your own
destiny. This doesn't mean that systems won't fail or that
products and services will always be marketable. Those
corrections can be made at any time. But before you look
outside yourself for the problem, always look to yourself
first. What could you do differently, what could you learn
that could solve the problem? Then go out and do it. As you
make changes in your life, realize that chance can be
difficult. No matter what changes you are trying to make,
research indicates that you must maintain positive action
for at least three to six months before reaching a
stability level - before it becomes a part of "the new
you." Before stability, the danger always exists of
relapsing into old behaviors. Relapse is often looked at as
failure. But this doesn't have to be if you look at it as a
learning experience. The mark of an achiever is to
acknowledge that you didn't make it, figure out what you
need to do differently and go forward from there. Remember
Thomas Edison failed 73 times to get the light to light up.
He had over 100 items rejected by the patent office. He
never gave up no matter what.It's the start of a brand new
DAY. All possibilities are open to you. The choice between
success and failure is up to you. Where are you going?
