Stirred Not Shaken

Last night I was listening to my coach Diane Hochman as she celebrated 10 years in Network Marketing. (By the way everyone needs a coach.)

She shared about the different stages she went through in her journey and how everyone passes through them. They may be in a different order or for different periods of time, but we ALL go through them.

If you've been in this profession for more than 30 days you know it's got more ups and downs than an amusement park!

And as she spoke I could think of when I hit those stages and what it felt like. The truth is, if you are a passionate person, you'll feel them more. And as your team grows, you'll feel it when they go through these rites of passage.

The one I want to point out today is the COLLAPSE stage. That's when you are flying along and feeling like you're making headway and then almost overnight you hit the wall. If you've read Think and Grow Rich you know that nature will test you.

That's right, before anyone reaches success there will be testing. And when this stage happens it will take everything you have to pick yourself back up and keep going. Build again, believe again, hope again.

I know when I hit this point in my business I got back up for one reason and one reason only-I was and am completely certain of why I'm here. I am very clear on my life purpose.

Are you? Have you got so entrenched in your business and your websites and your presentations that you forgot WHY you are doing it in the first place? It's easy to do.

You weren't born to build a business. You were born to do something unique and your business is probably the vehicle through which you'll accomplish your mission.

Our desire is to stir in you WHO you were born to be. That's when you will be happy and when you will be doing what only you can do.
