Opportunities

"Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals - Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want."                                                                           [Marsha Sinetar]

This message is so true!  Oftentimes, we fail to learn from our mistakes; we don't see the message provided by the error we made.  We all know that life is not easy, and network marketing can be challenging.  However, if you look at each obstacle as an opportunity to grow both yourself and your business, your entire perception of that obstacle will appear. 


What we all must learn early on in our business in order to succeed is that for every "no" you receive from a prospect, you are closer to the next "yes!"  "No" does not mean you failed.  It is simply a signal to move on to the next prospect, and the next, and the next, until you receive your next "yes."  As long as you remain persistent and patient, you will arrive at that "yes."


Don't see a "no" as an obstacle or a setback.  With each new presentation you give to a prospect, you have grown!  As long as you are open to it, you will learn from what you may perceive as failures and your successes.  

Failures are another opportunity to learn not to repeat that particular activity or behavior again.
