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 &
