A NEW START

This is a blog entry by a friend Adrian Koh (with his permission). I am inspired by his desire, his honesty and his bravery. He is clear that it will take ACTION. Starting is the key action.

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.
