Chapter 8—Decision
Most of us in network marketing have heard someone say:
.....I’ve made the Decision to join your company.
.....I’ve decided to try one of your products.
.....I have finally decided that I’m ready to start building my business.
I get excited when I hear those words. In my mind I envision how great it will be to mentor this person and help them experience success with either my products or the business opportunity.
But then my texts and phone calls go unanswered.
I used to wonder, “What did I do wrong?”
The reason why Napoleon Hill includes a chapter called Decision in his book, is that so many struggle with making a Decision and following through on it. That’s why Network Marketing requires so much personal development. At the first hint of struggle, it’s easy to go MIA. It’s easier to hide than to come out and face one’s fears.
It’s not about me as their mentor, it’s about them.
Hill talks about how some people boast about all they are going to achieve. “I’m going to be at the top of the pay plan before you know it!” “This is going to be easy!” “I’m gonna rock this thing!”
Then reality hits. BAM!
Instead of pushing through the fear and insecurity, all kinds of things start happening. In many cases Busyness comes in and takes over! It’s amazing how schedules fill up with so many activities there’s no time to be on calls, much less learn the skills. How many times have I heard, “I’ve been so busy!"
BAM!
Another Potential Millionaire is victimized by loads of clothes that need to be laundered or soccer games that need to be watched.
Maybe it’s the multitude of church activities that are calling our name and we are the only one who will step up and serve. Worthy activities for sure, but over time they can derail us from that which will make it possible for us to buy the entire soccer team new outfits or give outrageously when the offering plate is passed.
It all comes back to that sometimes irritating word Decision. If Decision was easy, everyone would do it. If Decision didn’t cost something, everyone would jump on board.
But Decision has a price tag. It means giving up those things that steal time. It means investing in skill development. It means staying close to a mastermind group and being accountable. It means posting your Why in front of you, so that you have the strength and focus to press on 24/7.
As I look back on my own journey, I see the times when I too made a half-hearted Decision and didn’t keep my promises to my sponsor or myself. I hid and often went MIA. But once I made the Decision to become part of the Mentoring for Free community, I have stayed the course. I have never second guessed the Decision to be part of this or to be part of my company. Never.
What Decision is calling out to you today? Is it time for greater commitment or less Busyness?
Take some time, be very still, and listen. The answer is within you.
