Are you really in business for yourself? Or are you IN BUSINESS?
You aren’t really in business if…. you find ways to reinvent the wheel and create a new power point because you don‘t like what leaders have already set up, dust your desk and rearrange papers on it, stare at the phone and think about calling prospects, complain to and about your upline, sit around studying the compensation plan, and spend precious prospecting hours studying what this “leader”, attraction marketing faux guru webinars, and playing Farmville on Facebook.
But most of all….are you really in business if you refuse to attend proven results-oriented personal growth training, a single company-wide events, or even make a single once-a-year trip to your annual company convention? You have absolutely no right to complain if you’re not staying plugged in CONSISTENTLY and just following a simple system to the T.
Like Nike says, “Just do it”, just go. Here are a few basic reasons to run to your company convention:
1. Belief. Belief in your company, being able to meet company executives, get trained by top leaders, and network with other people in your company will increase belief. Also, you may even get a chance to get a behind the scenes tour of the headquarters, get to know some of the folks who work there.
2. Conviction. You will become convicted of reasons to stay with your company. The Steady Eddies who stay with companies longer, make more money than jumpers who hop from company to company in search for the magic ticket or quick cash. Even if you haven’t made beaucoup moola yet, being convicted of where you and your company are headed will reward you financially.
NOTE: Conviction and belief will carry you farther than knowledge of every single minutiae of the comp plan and knowing answers to every single “what if” question that a prospect could ask. Besides, if you’re getting into the Land of What If , then you’re not showing your business to enough people.
3. Learn to Earn. Company conventions often feature training from their top money earners, and sometimes even professional network marketing trainers. Listen carefully and take notes. If you’re upset because 2 of the mere 3 people you contacted, said “no,” grow a backbone. Those at the top have been rejected and hung up on thousands more times than you. Get a grip and open your ears.
4. You cannot afford not to go. If you’re worried about getting there, consider this: what you don’t know, could hurt you. You don’t know what you don’t know. Think of all of the earnings you could be missing out on because you didn’t have as much belief and conviction as if you had gone to the convention.
5. Be a part of it! You’re not a part of the company until the company is part of YOU until it’s coursing through your veins. Until you’ve totally metamorphosed, like how Bella turns into a vampire in Breaking Dawn (yes, I have read all the Twilight books, lol!)
Going to your company’s convention is basically the difference between someone just sitting beside the pool, maybe sticking toes in the water, screaming it’s too cold, and the person who does a cannonball in the pool, jumps in, and has a great day in the water.
Do you want to make things happen or watch things happen? Or say,”What happened?”
Just go!
Enjoy,
Nancy
