Recently Michael Phelps was all over the news again. Not stories about his historic 16 Olympic medals, but a careless mistake that he made publicly. You might wonder why someone who has achieved such success do something to sabotage himself, possibly losing millions of dollars in endorsements. I see it all the time. Some of you may do it too in your direct sales home business.
Here are a few symptoms-
- Not even bothering to try something or set a goal because deep down you think “I’ll never make it, why get my hopes up only to be disappointed.’
- Shooting yourself in the foot after achieving a big goal. You are thinking-”Ok, I did it, but I don’t really deserve it, so I’ll let it go.”
- Settling for less. Being comfortable is easy. You think “why try for more because it could never happen to me.”
- Denial- you think “I don’t see this opportunity or solution so it doesn’t exist”.
- Having a Fatal Flaw- You take all the necessary steps to success but you have crucial personality problems that stop you like, bad temper, excessive drugs or alcohol, perfectionism.
If any of these symptoms sound like you it is linked to your “deserve level” What do you deep down inside feel that you really deserve? (not desire) Growing up we are told millions of negative thoughts that are embedded in our brain that can prevent us from achieving great things. What do you say when you talk to yourself? Pay attention one day. Even make an exercise of writing it down. You will be amazed at how many times you say or think negative thoughts. That just lowers your deserve level even more.
How do you change things? The first step is awareness. Mary Kay Ash always told us that God didn’t give you dreams that you will not also be given the tools to achieve them! Whenever a negative thought comes into your mind, just “cancel, cancel” Just like as if you are changing channels on a television. Do you have positive affirmations that you are saying to yourself each day? Are you reading positive material and keeping yourself surrounded by positive people. If you want to achieve great thing, you can’t afford to spend time with negative people.
These principles will apply not only to those of us in Direct Sales, or home businesses, but to everyone. Don’t you really deserve more in your life? Let me show you how to begin to get it!
