Everyone likes a pat on the back
every once in a while. And there’s no better time to get one than when you are
challenging yourself, maybe nervous about whether you can succeed or just doing
something that is normally out of your comfort zone.
Most people join a company to start their home business very excited. When they don’t see results right away, some begin to question themselves or consider quitting, thinking they may have made a mistake joining to begin with.

Instead of this negative approach, look at your goals from a position of "possibilities" instead. Find ways to praise yourself for little things you do in your business. Give yourself words of encouragement. Instead of focusing on what is NOT yet happening, try paying more attention to what IS happening.
To sustain your excitement toward
your business and continue to be motivated, the positive approach will keep you
going forward. Self-praise creates a
feeling of doing something you want to do, not what you’re forcing yourself to
do. Even your smallest accomplishments should make you proud!
Set lots of little goals. Sure, you have your dream, your “why,” your
major goal, but that will likely take some time to reach. The excitement of reaching each of your
little goals will motivate you to try even more new and different things.
·
You wrote your first blog?
Great, that deserves a cheer!
·
Did you speak to your first prospect? Good job!
·
How about posting your first ad? That’s a step toward your first sale!
·
Did you participate in company training calls or
webinars? Many people do not, so praise
yourself for it.
·
Did you have people visit your website or profile
today? Woohoo! You did something right to drive them there.
Compliment yourself. Write down what you would say to anyone else
who accomplished what you just did. You
can even keep a journal of your accomplishments. It is a great feeling to look back months
later and see how far you have come.
Be sure to tell your sponsor what
you have done. He or she will want to
share your excitement! I am so proud of
my team members when they do something new, challenge themselves or make a
sale.
Decide from the start that “quitting
is NOT an option,” and begin recognizing your growth and accomplishments. With a positive outlook, your business will
grow, and you’ll be able to look back and be amazed!
