2008 becomes 2009: Happy new year!

As we begin another year, I am reflecting on what happened to me 23 years ago TODAY! I made the decision to start my home business in direct sales. I called my representative at the time, and she came over on New Years Day and explained how to get started. I am so glad that she did!
You can read more details of my story of how this all came about, but today I want to share a few lessons that I have learned along the way for you.
- Always have a goal, and don’t keep it a secret. You can’t hit a target that isn’t there, now can you? There is no such thing as a secret goal. The goal starts to gain power when you share it with others.
- You have to step up to the plate and swing that bat. I have had my share of strikeouts along the way, but paralysis by analysis is so much worse. You can learn from your mistakes, so don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
- We learn in the valleys. Although I have had huge victories along my journey, the times when I thought it was discouraging, even hopeless is where discipline has to take over and you continue one step at a time!
- The Golden Rule really works, not the rule of gold. Always treat others the way that you would want to be treated. Be a giver. It always comes back to you in the most amazing and unexpected places, so be waiting for that!
- My measure of success is the number of lives that I have touched along the way, starting with my family. They grow up quickly, so I always used them as a reason rather than an excuse. As I have moved forward in my reach of others, I consider it one of life’s greatest joys to empower or encourage someone who needs it.
- Never forget the power of persistence. You can learn everything else along the way, just never, ever quit!
May your journey be filled with abundance and shared with love and others. Happy New Year! Make it a great one!
