Are You Committed???

Are You Committed???

             

First thing I learned in network marketing is that you must be committed and coachable. Network marketing taught me lots about business in general, but that was the most important element. Business is not always about who can do what the best, but it is about who can last. 

There lots of smart and talented people out there who are not successful...at least not according to the people around them. Please believe I know. My family and even guys Ive dated felt like "You're smart. Why don't you just go get a job like a normal person?" First of all, I will NEVER be normal. Second I believe I am unemployable. Not that it is beneath me to work for someone, but there is a God above me who has planted visions in me. I am not here to live my life to appease those around me. To my ex who said, "Just go get a job making 60k a year," I can't get rich making 60k a year, not enough commas dear. More importantly like him, I would not have the time to invest in my dreams because I will be busy busting my ass to make someone else's dreams a reality. No deal!

See the thing is I ... I AM COMMITTED TO ME! I am committed to what I desire and believe about myself. I am committed to seeing my dreams through. I am committed to my goals. Thank God I chose the perfect parents for my journey. I spoke to my father recently and was reminded that I was doing well. He said that everything I have been working towards, believing in is in the making. All the experiences and the experience I have is coming together. He was proud that I have stayed the course. Hearing that gave me some reprieve, just like when I read Business of the 21st Century.

Robert Kiyosaki and his wife lived out of their car and some more. Their "people" didn't understand either. They couldn't comprehend to two talented, educated individuals not living the American dream. If you ask me the American dream is for suckers. They tell us to go to school, get good grades and go to college. When we get to college you are forced one to pick one area, that probably won't have anything to do with what actually have a career in. Then you graduate owing some mystery lady named Sallie Mae thousands of dollars, that most of us never pay off. That's a real commitment huh?

Listen folks, entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. It's not one of those things you feel like doing. We have to be committed no matter how we feel. We have to be committed when the sun don't shine and be grateful for rainy days. We have to be willing to look, feel and sound silly to others. You have to be ready to face rejection, over and over and over....and over again. We have to be willing to hear no and say no. We have to challenge, support and encourage ourselves. We have to keep pushing when our team doesn't, when our team gives up, gives in or quits. Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do, long after the mood you said it in has left.

If you are reading this chances are, you know the struggle. If you have't witnessed your world seemingly turn upside down, you will. Stay the course my friends! Winners never quit, quitters never win. So there is only one thing left to say. Are you committed??? 

Be committed. Be happy. Be healthy. Be You!
