You know, it’s really no one’s “fault”. And even the word “fail” isn’t really the right word – yes people fail but that’s only because they quit, give up, stop trying. With building a business, there’s a process you go through and many people just aren’t willing to go through that process to get to where they want to be and “Quit Before the Blessing”. It’s a lot like starting a new job. You’re not going to know everything your first day and certainly not going to get promoted until you become proficient at your current position and then you work your way up. You think you’re going to walk in and become President/CEO making 6-figures your first week, month or even year? Sorry, it ain’t gonna happen.

The difference here though is that it’s YOU that determines how far you want to go – YOU decide. And that’s where your why comes in. Without a strong Why, it IS easy to give up. Those little why’s like your daughter are really the biggest why’s there are because it’s strange but most of us will work harder for someone else than we will for ourselves so when your why is your kids, your family, THAT is HUGE!

I did that whole "corporate america" thing too. I spent 16 years working 70 hours a week, always out of town on business, commuting 4 hours a day, consumed in work and working myself and my staff "to the bone" doing more with less due to budget cuts. I was making a lot of money but at what price? I missed out on A LOT and I will NEVER get that time back. Well, I "woke up" a little too late because my daugther was already nearing high school graduation but the main thing is that I finally did. It's been almost 2 years and my 11 year old STILL has a smile on his face when he gets off that bus because I'm home instead of always at the office until 9pm or out of town. I will NEVER go back to sacrificing myself and my family for the sake of a paycheck ever again. That's my Why. And I get to do it by helping others out of that trap?! Heck, it doesn't get any better than that!

If it bothers you and you can’t get past the fear of someone blaming you, then just don’t tell anyone you know. Personally, I don’t come right out and directly tell people about the business opportunity. However, it’s usually just kind of a natural thing that comes up in conversation - people want to know what you’re doing. I just tell them what I do and if they want to know more, they can ask me but it’s always their idea. It’s because THEY want to know and not ME trying to push something on them. But that’s just me and I’m sure others have a different approach.

So, put this issue to bed and visualize how it’s going to feel when you’ve just created that life your little girl so deserves. And we’ll be here to celebrate with you!
