subject: Do You Apply What You Preach? [print this page] Do You Apply What You Preach? Do You Apply What You Preach?
There is a lot of pitch and advisement given out there. Occasionally it could be down right over whelming. Do this and do that, make sure you didn't forget that step and this step.
No really, how much of all this mumbo jumbo do you actually need to do? You may need it all! To tell you the truth you have to do what works for you. Now you may get a little upset doing some of things but that is okay it's what helps us grow.
You need to have those bumps on the roads to learn from and boost your skills. Like Adam Chandler mentions in some of his blogs, you have to intensify your rate of failure if you want to double your rate of fortune. I know it's something like that.
So this brings me to my subject matter of practicing what you lecture. Now I know we like to fling out information for people to do or conform and learn from. But are you truly practicing what you lecture?
I want to adopt you on a real life journey with me. It was a moment of clarity I would express.
My son truly enjoys basketball. He want's to be the next star, the next Bryant, or the next Jordan; you know what I'm talking about, some of the greats. I can't and won't name them all; I'll be here all night.
We also talked concerning getting his school work done and getting awesome grades and so on. So to make a long story short he begun to tell me that he wanted to skip a grade in school and that he loved to be a professional basketball player in the future.
As any awesome father, I started to give him guidance. You know, telling him he could be whatever he wants with his life but it takes hard work and commitment. You have to regularly put in the work, the practice, and the sacrifice to get what you want.
A couple of days go by and I was active on my to-do list. I was going to do a project and I thought to myself, well self this could wait till later. I wanted to slack off.
Right there and then I had that moment of what the heck! But I did not use those becoming words.
I was very discontent with myself because there I was a few days ago telling my son that he had to practice, work hard, and stay focused if he wanted to achieve his goals and I'm slacking off.
Talk about a reality check. So guess what I did. I got to work and finished my list and accomplished what I needed to for that day. It is basic to do our list and it is also easy not to. It is basic to preach but it is also simple not to practice.
My theme to this story is check your actions and be careful what you let your thoughts lead you to believe. If you want fortune in your mlm business you have to toss in the time and not give into letting things drift or slacking off.
If you catch yourself doing that believe regarding the last advice you gave someone in moving their business ahead or if you have kids, like I do, think about the directions you give them because it can be the same advisement that will work for you.
I anticipate you have enjoyed this post and got something out of it. Here some advice from me to you. Keep up the awesome work because you may be closer than you think!
