When Was The Last Time You Crapped Your Pants?

In other words "when was the last time you got way outside of your comfort zone." To have any success your goals must be set higher than you are comfortable with. You must be willing to create discomfort in your life. Fear and discomfort are obstacles to success but when overcome there is a sense of freedom. I remember my fear of making that initial phone contact. What would happen if I screwed it up? What if my prospect can tell I have a lack of confidence? Well guess what...I did screw up and continued to screw up but I continued to make calls. When I felt like I couldn't make another call, I had my upline do 3way calls with me. I had to create discomfort by writing articles. It is so much easier to lay on the couch and watch T.V. but that is not going to bring my family the life they deserve. My upline asked me to host a weekly training call and to be honest, the first time I did it I almost crapped my pants. I was scared that I was going to screw up. I believe that first call went just fine and I now consider it an honor to host that call. It makes me step up to the plate and become a leader. It makes me listen instead of trying to think of something profound to say. I still have fear in my life but my biggest fear is the fear of failing in my business. If I keep doing the things I am doing it will be impossible to fail, so when was the last time you crapped your pants?

Depends or else

Hey Donnie, been there and had to go through what you're doing now. There is an old saying, "if it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger." You survived, keep up the good work.

Great comment Donnie,
