Boundaries

Hurdles. Roadblocks. Detours. Red tape. Boundaries. Barriers. Whatever you want to call them we are bound to face them in business.

It's our duty, our mission to break THROUGH them.

Sometimes the roadblocks come in the form of a disapproving spouse. Sometimes they come in the form of long hours at your fulltime job. Sometimes a nagging health problem that leads you too fatigued to work your business.

Sometimes even a hurdle placed in front of you by really silly compliance charges via your Network Marketing company. (:

I see these detours, this red tape as my chance. My opportunity to rise above, continue to go higher and higher!

Nobody said this business was EASY! But don't ask for life to be EASY, ask for it to be WORTH IT.

The lesson today that I learned when I hit this certain barrier, was that it's always important to have many hooks in the water, [[firstname]]. MANY irons in the fire!

Imagine if you were only building your business due to cold calling and you got hung up on a nagging case of laryngitis. Ugh! Devistating to your prospecting (and to your wallet). But if you had been smart...

The same scenario, but you are also generating leads online, gathering referrals from your current customers, doing email marketing. See how much LESS inconvenient no voice would be?

You've heard the term of "Iron sharpens iron."

Whatever we don't allow to destroy us, will make us better. Strong. Sharper. Faster. More intuitive. More creative. More tactile and precise.

It's our job to treat these boundaries as what they are. And move beyond them. To not let them hang us up to dry! To not let them get us down, make us frusterated (for too long at least), and make us quit.

Don't stop three feet from gold just because you're tired or your Daddy says "No, you've gone to far!"

One of the most causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by a temporary defeat.

Let me tell you a story:

In the "Gold Fever" days someone from the Darby family in the US went west to dig for gold. He went there with pick and shovel. The going was hard, but his lust for gold was definite.

After weeks of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of a shining ore. But he needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface.

So quietly he covered up the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in Maryland. He told his relatives and some neighbors. They got together money for that machinery, had it shipped and he went with his nephew back to the mine.

They mined the first car and had it shipped to a smelter. The returns proved that they found one of the richest mines in Colorado.

A few more cars of that would clear all the debts he had. Then would come the big killing in profits. Down went the drills. Up went the hope.

But something happened. The vein of gold ore disappeared. They had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of gold was no longer there.They drilled on desperately trying to pick up the vein again. All to no avail.

Finally they decided to QUIT.

Here comes the important part.

They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars and took the train back home.

Some junk men are dumb but NOT THIS ONE.

He called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer advised that the project had failed because the owners were not familiar with "Fault Lines". His calculations showed that the vein would be found "JUST THREE FEET FROM THE DARBYS HAD STOPPED DRILLING" and that EXACTLY where it was found!

The "junk" man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine, because he knew enough to seek expert council before giving up.

Now let us think of this story.

If you ask any self-made business owner he'll tell you that he had his success just after his biggest failure, just because he kept focusing on his desire and burned all the bridges behind him to have just only one way.

"I wanna do this. I don't know how I'm gonna do it. I JUST know I'M GONNA DO IT". That was one of the most sayings you may hear from successful people.
And you should use this saying in your life.
