It takes work to succeed.
I admire people who pitch in and grind it out and give it their all. They fight off adversity, don’t complain and stay focused on their dream. Sometimes they may miss, falling short of the desired outcome but they remain vigilant and set a new target go again.
I have no sympathy for those who whine and moan about not winning the fruits of success… when they put in no effort. They got what they deserved.
Each one of us is like one of the two villages in this story – which are you?
Two small villages lay on the outskirts of a great kingdom, fearful of attack, each appealed to the king for help. Unable to spare men or horses, the king sent each village several boxes.
The first village opened the boxes eagerly and found shields, spears, and swords. They were in pieces, so they put it all together. Each piece was heavy and cumbersome but they assembled them and practiced diligently every day until they were expert swordsmen, accurate spear throwers, accomplished fighters. They developed strength and skill and were confident in defending their homeland.
The second villagers didn’t open the boxes and stored them in a safe place.
One day a party of bandit marauders attacked the first village. The people hurriedly grabbed their weapons and met the attackers head-on with a fierce defense. They fought bravely, skillfully, confidently, and succeeded.
Defeated, the marauders retreated and moved on to attack the second village.
The people there ran for the boxes and quickly opened them. Inside lay their weapons, in pieces. They were horrified to find a large note: Some Assembly Required.
Our Amway/N21 business is like those boxes. We have all the tools. When we take time to learn from the CEP and do the work, we will have a growing business that will provide for us. If we just store the information in boxes, they will be useless to us when we need the skills.
To develop ‘mastery’ at anything, behavioral scientists say, requires 10,000 hours. Do the math — that’s 40 hours a week for 5 years, or 20 hours a week for 10 years.
In our business it is registering 20 people in 6 months and working their lists to create an income of $80,000 per year. Think what $80K would do for your lifestyle or maybe just your savings account. And like most learning, the learned knowledge and skills can never be taken away.
Yes - Life, in general, has an ‘assembly required’ proposition. And rewards come to those who dig in and practice and make it happen!
ACTIONS FOR YOU
Decide if you are part of the first village or the second. If you want big results, are passionate for them and willing to pay, learn and do the work then join the first village.
So when the marauders come to your village you have the resources and talents to fight them off.
Stop tolerating your partial effort – the speed of the leader is the speed of the pack. So set the speed and lead your team by your actions.
