"I'll Do It Tomorrow..."
"ONE CRITICAL DAY is all you need to turn any 'what if' in your life into what IS." - Jim Rohn
One mistake I have seen repeatedly in this business is what I like to call the "I'll Do It Tomorrow" syndrome. Take an otherwise motivated individual who just happens to be very busy in their daily routine and decides to forego their "business" routine of exposures for the day. "I'll talk to two people tomorrow," they internally reason, thinking it will be harmless to simply put this off until tomorrow. Wrong.
Days often turn to weeks and weeks turn to months - then, six months later, the individual is disheartened and angry and blames the business because it did not work the way they wanted it to. Your commitment to your business MUST be solid - it cannot be something to just "do tomorrow." Procrastination is one of the top killers to any network marketer's career. Persistency and Consistency are absolutely KEY to your success in this industry. You cannot do this business when you feel like it and expect success!
You have to treat this like a business. If you currently have another job, think of the responsibilities and commitments that you have had to make to keep your job and/or receive promotions -- you cannot show up "when you feel like it" and expect to be successful. Football players cannot practice once a week or once a month to score that winning touchdown. Every day -- that must be your commitment!
Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you need to do today...your business will depend on it. Remember - you never know who you may meet. You could walk into the coffee shop and stand next to the future top earner for your company, you just won't know it until you take action!
