One of the keys to success is very anchored in our personal belief system. As Henry Ford once said: “If you believe you can or you believe you can’t, either way, you’re right!”
For some, enrolling 3 people who have the desire to share this wonderful message with others and potentially build an amazing business happens faster than others. Their belief drives their enthusiasm which drives their daily actions towards the goal.
Many of us have gone to empowerment lectures, read the books, listened to the audio tapes from famous lecturers and so we don’t necessarily need to hear those words but we do need to internalize them and live them.
Our belief has limits. Some refer to them as walls. We speak the words of what our limits are. “I believe I can enroll 1 per month but 3 in a week…I don’t think I can do that…” ..and so we don’t try due to our belief limits which are just walls inside much like the chain used to tie the baby elephant to the poll. The baby elephant learns he can not break that chain and develops a belief limited by those beliefs of trying and trying till he gives up. Eventually he can be held with a thin rope which he could easily break but his beliefs will not allow
him to even try.
I like to back down the goal to even smaller challenges. What if each of us personally enrolled just 1 person into our new opportunity and it took a full 30 days to achieve that. Next month we set out to achieve the same goal. By the end of 12 months we have personally enrolled 12 people.
If each person you enrolled duplicated your efforts and enrolled 1 per month the math might look something like this:
1
1 1
1 1 1
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 = 78
With this simple example anyone can take a very laid back approach to a 12 month plan. At the end of 12 months we would have 78 people in our organization receiving a monthly deposit into our bank. Money that could be used to fill our tank, pay our phone bill, buy food, save for a college fund, the choices are yours. And should we continue on this slow, but steady journey, at the end of our 2nd year we’d have over 300 in our team. Three years from today over 1,000.
The question then comes down to: Maybe we don’t believe we can find 3 in a week or even in a month but can we find 1? Could we use an extra stream of cash flow? Where might we be in our 2nd or 3rd year if we, and our new network continued on the same simple process?
The power of expanding our belief system tied with the power of networking tied with the power of helping other good people achieve their goals and dreams tied with what could very well be one of the most wonderful opportunities ever in the networking community and we, together, can take a stand to truly make this world a better place!
Each of us is an important part of the bigger picture! Anyone can achieve most any goal if we are willing to take the first step which brings us closer to the goal.
