Failure and Disappointments

I received an email about failure and disappointment from a leader I admire, and was going to pass it on, but then thought, "Why do that! Keep your eye on the ball; stay positive." We've all had times we've been disappointed in this business. The key is to pick ourselves up, brush off the knees, steady our balance and step forward. I know that failures come to all of us, 1K, 5K, Premiers and above, but the discipline to move forward in a positive way is the action that will take us past the disappointments, moving us towards our goals.

Keep your eye on the prize. Lean forward with positive anticipation. Stepping forward with action daily is what moves us and our people in the direction of earning income, now and in the long run. Run with the runners. Find people that want to run with you. If you find someone that just wants to walk, don't be disappointed, simply walk with them, but don't let them set your pace. There are runners to be found.

My prize is _______________________________.

I want it by this date: _________________________.

To get there I will do this: ___________________________________. And this ________________.

I have these people to help me get there: _____________________________________.

This is my reward: _______________________________________.

I am thankful for this opportunity to daily share with others this great opportunity.

I will diligently work towards MY PRIZE.

Together We Build is a group of leaders recognizing that sometimes it's easier to get up after a disappointment if you have a little help. We help each other stay positive, leaning forward all together. We welcome all runners, walkers and even stoppers.
