Feeding A Vision…

Written by Marie on Feb 12th, 2009 | Filed under: All Posts, Motivational Leadership

“A vision grows from your soul, fed by communication and passion and can be articulated with the development of how things will be when the vision is achieved.”

Now someone else said that, not me.  Unfortunately, can’t remember who.

But it doesn’t make the message any less important.

Think about it.  A vision also needs food to survive. It may not be the same kind you use to keep your body going but it actually is as equally important.

So how do you feed a vision?

  1. give your vision the right level of priority in your life.  Without total commitment you will never achieve its full potential
  2. make sacrifices. To give your vision your all, some sacrifices go without reason.  You may need to sacrifice time with your family at first, time spent in front of the boob tube, time reading your favorite books.  Whatever sacrifice you make, remember your vision and the sacrifice becomes less so.
  3. develop good habits.  This comes with structuring your time intelligently.
  4. be flexible.  If something comes up that is more important than what you are currently engaged in, then realize that you need to follow through with it.  You can always come back and finish the other.
  5. never give up.  Moving forward no matter what is a quality all vision achievers have in common.
  6. put it in writing. I know it sounds corny, but writing your vision down makes it more concrete, so write it down, sign and date it.  Then read it every day and if it needs to be tweaked, do so.

So feeding your vision is not difficult and if you truly have one, then implementing the above actions will see you accomplish everything you set out to in your life.

Good luck!  (Actually, you are your own luck)


Who’s The Winner? Belief Over Motivation?

You’ve gotta believe that your network marketing business will  make it big!

You mean to tell me that all I need is to really believe that my business will be successful and it will be?

I don’t think so.

Don’t get me wrong, believing in yourself is important but you don’t need a dream board to make that $40,000 per year at your day job, do you? Of course not!

It boils down to the tools you are using to be successful. You don’t use a shovel to dig a foundation, you get the backhoe. Well network marketing works on the same principle.

You need a system other than just word of mouth.

The right tools will bring you consistent, steady progress. Motivation will be the side-effect of a good marketing strategy.

Would not talking to highly qualified prospects every day be a good motivator?

But motivation hides behind shyness or lack of self-esteem when you have to personally go out there and find a prospect that would be interested in your offer.

Staring at your vision board or reading your goal statement to remind you of why you are doing this in the first place can get tedious.

It’s when you stop worrying about belief and apply yourself to learning about how to market your business that you will find the people you want for your business, because they will be searching you out and not the other way around.

Motivation Isn’t The Solution. It’s A Copout.

That’s what your upline will tell you when you get discouraged and are looking for answers. They just don’t know what else to say.

Instead they should be asking you what type of marketing strategy have you implemented. If they taught you how then this should never be an issue in the first place.

You cannot do without a good marketing system.

Internal drive will get you where you want and it’s the real results that will motivate you.
