an online business as hard as sending someone to the moon? I don’t think so… We already have the tools, the map, the rocket, and the products. So what is keeping you back?

Are you going to offer excuses as to why this doesn’t work? Why you can’t do it? Are you going to pontificate about the reasons why you can’t do it?

How about we use the opportunities that we are in to build our character? Most of the companies that you are involved with are legitimate good solid companies that people of character built. After all you wouldn’t have gotten in, if you didn’

I don’t have to overcome too many objections to get people to get started in one of my opportunities. My problems start after they say yes!!

Here is one of the magic formula, secret things, that no one will tell you about this type of marketing…

Successful people have many, many people in their organizations that are just not doing a darn thing!!

The part that is missing from that sorting equation is that you need to continue to sort through people even after they say yes!!

I have literally hundreds of people in my downlines that have said yes to me, yes to the opportunity, but no to actually doing anything about it.

This “no” shows up as excuses… “No time, No money, I don’t understand, Not good on the computer” etc, etc, etc. And this is usually after they said yes…

Problem is, they are exposed to the exact opportunity that I was. They have the exact tools that I had available (in some cases, what is available as far as tools is way better than what I had when I first started)

So what is the difference? Why are some people more successful than others?

I believe it is something called Stick to it ness, or Character.

Now I am not saying that my character is any better than anyone else, I just mention this as something that I have seen. Character is that rare human trait that is hard to identify in a few casual conversations with someone. Usually I can not identify Character by the time that I sign someone up for one of my opportunities. Character shows up in the long run. Character shows itself subtly. Character shows up with someone actually says something and they mean it. Character is going against the grain, holding on to a believe or idea. Character is getting it done.

Character shows itself doing the things that need to be done. Character is the ability to make the best informed decisions as possible, know that there are variables, and do whatever they committed to doing, even though they did not have all the answers…

The people that helped send astronauts to the moon are people with character. The committed to a project that they had no idea how they would do it. They toiled and worked and struggled and failed, until one day Neil Armstrong said “One small step for man……”

Why don’t we take the bull by the horns and start producing NO MATTER WHAT?

What would have happened if all the people that wanted to be involved in the NASA space project quit after they got started. What if they all said, “I don’t have time, or I’m too busy, or It can’t be done, or we can’t afford it, or I don’t understand?”

So how to we turn that corner, How do we start doing the things that we need to do?

1. Don’t over commit –Only do what you say you are going to do.
2. Don’t spend what you don’t have… Don’t say yes to an opportunity you can’t afford.
3. Realize that your upline doesn’t know everything, and will not build your business for you.
4. Figure out how you are going to build your business- what will you do for leads, prospecting, new business, and sales?
5. Figure out how much time, effort and energy you can realistically spend on your opportunity.
6. Get an accountability partner. Find someone that you can relate to on a daily-weekly basis. Someone you can share your victories with, someone that will comisurate with you but bring you back up… find a buddy in the business.
7. Commit to the long haul, the big money, the lessons that you need to learn.

Some people call it character. I call it guts… Do you have the guts to build it?

As always, I would love to hear your comments, suggestions, and feedback from this article.
