A 3 Month Project (or, How I am giving myself a chance) 15 Apr 2010
I'm coming out of an interesting period of my life, in that I'm coming to understand myself a whole lot more. That's the reason for this new post really - it's a new start stemming from new understanding; where it's not about me "giving something a chance", it's really about "giving ME a chance". Something I haven't done in a long, long time.
I had a chat with James again about where I was taking the business of Nuskin - somewhat hesitant in my heart about committing the time and resources to the effort, especially after I'm just settling down from the mad year of 2009 and the first part of this year. Yet I find myself somewhat compelled to hear his thoughts on where I was. But what he shared and said was exactly what the doctor ordered in so many ways, especially after reading about how my dyslexia and ADHD had defined my life so much. Could I really say no to this?
No I can't. I can't because I'm sick of how I've been told that I've potential but I keep squandering it. I'm sick of inactivity when I want to move forward. I'm tired of how I've not been able to move a step closer to making my personal dreams come true. And, as I let my prejudices fall, I'm seeing how this place has everything I need to succeed - and more importantly in my heart - the structure to help others succeed as well.
I'm pumped. I want this to work, part of me is scared that it's (yet another) phase that will die. But the support here is real. People work and help each other here because there's so much at stake, but also such immense gain (and I'm not talking about just money). It's a game and we can't do it unless we're all in it.
I could ramble on about what I'm feeling and thinking, but I don't want to take too much time away from the thing that will push me forward - action. Here's what I'm going to do:
1. Gather my list (in progress)
2. Watch Success Formula (0.25 through)
3. Start connecting with people and calling them if I can't meet them personally (started)
4. Invite invite invite (not started)
It's going to be an interesting month. Or 3. Or maybe a year. What matters is that I realise I'm not alone - I won't fail alone, and even more than that, I'm not going to succeed alone. Thanks guys, if you're reading this. Thank you for not giving up on me.

GENERATING JOY THROUGH JOURNALLING
Hi Cindy
What you share in your latest journal just warms my heart. You are discovering why so many of us have fallen in love with the business: It's the people that make up the company - from the management to fellow distributors.
But it takes someone special to see that and appreciate that.
You have exceeded my expectations by your attitude, actions, and approval & acknowlegements you generously give. You've Won my heart!
Can I suggest we meet tomorrow, just to have a quick review of your initial weeks doing the business?

Hi Cass
Your journal is a thrill to receive because it reminds me of a key fact of life and our key strategy to “succeed” in this business.
key fact of life: I determine what I get out of life (or YOU determine what you get out of life). Look at you:“I was full of excitement and anticipation for the ageLOC. I decided to be there early. Upon arrival, starting the queue with Daniel and KC is the highlight of my day!”
Like Hwee Suan says of Stephen Covey – you carry your own weather. Who decides if my business is great or fun or a blessing – I do!
key strategy to “succeed” : FIND people/leaders like you. Which brings me back to the first key fact of life – everything starts with me. I need to BE a that type of leader.
Thank you for saying that “the highlight came from the rounding up with James.”
I was not sure, and had not thought, of what I wanted to say until just before the end of the workshop. But earlier that week, I just felt it was important to have a huddle and say something to the new people. I am so glad I listened to my intuition, my self 2, and just did it.
I’m so glad to have you on our Team!! ☺
