Dont cheat yourself

This past Sunday I had a business overview meeting with my junior partner Olga. Olga is pretty cool I have been working with her more & more lately. She asked me if I would help her with a new prospect. She set up meeting with her potential business owner at one of our Starbucks offices in Miami. The meeting went great.  I mean the prospect didn’t say “ok where do I sign?” but she was very impressed with the quality of our products & how many different products & services we offer.  I like to look at someones face when they are evaluating & I did see that she was a bit overwhelmed with everything we offer but she said she was willing to talk to her hubby so we can meet again to see if she can handle such an incredible business opportunity. I know Olga will followup & follow through with her. After the meeting Olga & I came back to my house & talked about lots of stuff, like life & of course the business. Then Olga says “wow there is still so much I still Have to do”. I looked at Olga & said “yes you are right. No matter how much time has passed there is still allot We still haven’t done". Time has passed but what did you do in that time?? That’s what we need to evaluate productivity not just time. Olga like allot of us has had challenges. She has a husband 3 kids & a full time 45 year plan aka J-O-B. Just a few weeks ago something happened in her business that really pissed her off. She texted me “I am soooo pissed I quit”! OMG I couldn’t believe she send me that! She really sent that to the wrong person! If you are going to quit just do it, but never text me or even call me that you are doing it. If that’s what you are going to do then do it yourself, that’s my attitude. I didn’t answer her but 2 days later she texted me again “Hey I was just pissed that day I'm not going to quit I have put too much Time to quit now! I texted her back with a smile “Im glad u came 2 ur senses sometimes S_it happens but u need to move on. Don't get stuck on the Dot!
How can you come this far & cheat yourself? How can you get mad over a stupid thing that was your fault anyway & quit your dreams or purpose? I have said this before & I will say it again. If you quit you are only hurting yourself! Stuff will always happen it’s the law of the universe! But you have to take it as lessons. Don’t say you did everything when you know you didn’t!
I love to apply the don’t cheat yourself to my boot camp. My trainer writes out a workout & we have a certain time to do it. In the beginning I wasn’t doing all the reps because I was still breaking in. But I noticed that when I pushed myself more my body felt stronger, tighter & I was able to do more with my workout. If I don’t do the workout that I pay to do the only one losing is me! Yes me duh, I still gotta pay for the class weather I show up or not or weather I do it or not. So why would I cheat myself & not do my best to get the best results? It’s the same with the business. Any business or any dream worth having weather it’s a tight sexy body, a residual income business, becoming a superstar or whatever, if its worth having you will HAVE to get out of your comfort zone. So by hiding & pretending you did your workout it is not going to help you, it will hurt you. Cheating yourself saying you did your best when leaders are telling you daily what you need to do to be successful & You haven’t done it is really Cheating yourself! Go back to your business plan & read it! Have you seriously done even 20% of it? I know I still havent done all of it so I know for sure there are others who dont even know this business came with a business plan! For real some still have it in a corner in their home collecting dust!






Just Makeup your life &
