Has your life been abducted by your feelings?

There are two times you can do a task: when you feel like it, or when you don’t! Those are the only two choices (with shades of grey of course!). There will be mornings when you wake up with tons of motivation to get going! Get things done! Tackle the spring cleaning! Groom the dogs! Call every customer about your newest promotion!
Then there are other days. You want to lounge and just chill out. You don’t care to answer the phone, much less call out. Spring cleaning? Ha! Maybe next year…

I think the difference between a successful person and an unsuccessful person is the amount of not only determination and dreaming, but also self-discipline and the ability to multitask. This is something I often struggle with in my life. I have so many things I want to do that when I focus on one, another one goes by the way side. Anyone can do something when they feel like it…it takes a really determined person who does the work even when they don’t in order to achieve their own personal goals.

So let’s say you have a new hostess promotion. You want to call everyone you know, but…you have called and called them until you are on the brink of stalker status in their book! So do you give up? NO! You get more leads! No ideas for leads? Hate warm chatter? Does that stop a really determined and disciplined person? NO! You collect ideas, find one you like, and try it! It didn’t work too well for you? Do you give up now? NO! You tweak the idea until it does work, or try another. The point is you do not give up. If you really want something, that is only half the battle. You have to do the work that goes along with what you want. Even if that is just to make a few hundred a month extra. You will still have to do the work when at times you would rather not.

I do get caught up in this trap. I make excuses, I truly have too much to do at times, but then upon thinking back, I realize I could have squeezed in a time to generate leads and wish I had. I hate that feeling. It is a sick, knowing feeling that I could have done more.

Ladies, let’s stop letting our feelings run our lives. Let’s start making ourselves feel empowered and surprise ourselves by how much we can accomplish if we really put our minds to being self-disciplined and awesome multi-taksers. We have to run our day or it will run away. The time flies by when you are not on a time table. Let’s decide today that we will really give this business the 100% effort and see what incredible results we get. No one and nothing will block our view of our big picture. So you have a falling out with someone in your unit, so what? Don’t you still need to make that $150 this week? We have to think big. It doesn’t have to mean being a national tomorrow. It can just mean seeing that every little bit we do today can aid us in the big goal. Don’t let anything get in your way, least of all, your own attitude!
