Training for success….Be Prepared

January 18, 2008 by blog.

I don’t know about you but I’m the type of person that likes to be prepared. As a child, I was a cub scout, then as a teenager, I was a boy scout, and there are some great qualities I have taken away from that part of my life. One of them is to be prepared.

When most people think of the boy scout they picture the young boy walking the old lady across the street and while that may be true for scouts to be helpful, they also must be prepared. The same preparedness comes when you are starting a home based business. You must prepare yourself for the circumstances that will befall on you.

For example, when you first join your network marketing company you have a dream, you are fired up and ready to accomplish this dream because you are passionate about your product or service. Then you start marketing the old fashion way with the dreaded list, 3-foot rule and expensive ads only to find that not everyone cares about your dream.

You probably wonder why everyone you talk to just doesn’t jump into your boat and it gets you kind of frustrated because you see it, why don’t they? You must be prepared for an outcome that you are not attached to like your prospect joining your business. So how do we prepare for that? Training.
With all my years of experience, I still train. I read the same books over and listen to the same material more then once. I’m always looking for new material to train with and even if I can find just one golden nugget inside of a course or book, it is well worth the effort of my time.

But, there should be a balance for training and doing. Most people spend the time getting ready to get ready. Making the effort to learn as much as you can is important. Doing what you learn is even more important. There is no time better then the present to stop getting ready and declare yourself capable regardless of the outcome. So what if you make a mistake. As long as you learn from it that is what is important.

I’ve been making mistakes for years regarding home based business and I find that they cause no physical pain. You see most people take the past of least resistance and the pain of failure is much less then the pain of success. That is why most people fail at any business.
