Just to clarify what I was trying to say….to me, your initial question was a focus on the negative because you’re looking at how many people have failed, what if they blame you, what if you fall into the same trap, etc. etc. Even if just "food for thought" it's damaging TO YOU so my advice was to stop thinking about the negative “what if’s”. All you need right now is an aiming point and action and everything else will fall into place over time. Don’t start worrying about everything that will be involved and everything that could go wrong. When you come up against an obstacle, deal with it but don’t go looking for it.
This is a business but caring about other people is essential because, to me, that’s the cornerstone of what this business is really all about. Reaching OUR goals by helping OTHERS reach theirs. It’s pretty amazing when you think about it. However, unfortunately, no matter how much we care, we can’t guarantee anything because it’s up to each individual. Many people fail because they just don’t want it bad enough and not that there’s anything wrong with them, the company, the services, their enroller, the industry. You just CAN’T force someone – THEY have to want it. Yes, company, product/service, duplicateable system, training, mentoring is critical but without a strong desire, it only goes so far.
This is why being very clear on your “Why” is so important. And your real “WHY” is never money. Your driving force must be WAY MORE than just money. It’s either something you want in life or something you don’t want OR better yet both. A person’s WHY has to be big enough because when they come up against an obstacle, if it’s not, they’re gone. BUT if their why IS big enough - bigger than their excuses (reasons), they’ll overcome those obstacles and be successful.
Many have tried once, twice before and then do it again AND succeed this time because they’re ready. Everything is the same except for their mindset. The difference NOW is that they made up their mind and just do it. So, just because someone has failed before, does NOT mean they can't succeed. Quite the contrary, when you look at most successful people, they have failed many times before they finally achieve success
