Hearing NO in Your MLM Business

Have you heard the word “NO” a few times in your business?

Maybe you heard it while you were in the planning stages, just

developing your business idea and your business plan.  Possibly,

some people very close to you said  “No, you can’t do that.”  Or,

“No, you shouldn’t do that.”

Perhaps, it was after you got your business started and you

asked  someone to take a look at it and give you their opinion. 

They might have said “No, that will never work.”  Or, “No,

that’s not for me.”

According to PSYCHOLOGY TODAY, by the time a child

reaches 18 years of age, the concept of "NO, YOU CAN'T!"

has been reinforced 187,000 times, whereas the concept of

"YES, YOU CAN!" has been reinforced only about 25 times!!!

Do you see why so many of us grow up to be failures, or

afraid to try anything out of the “norm”?  It’s  because we

have been programmed that way! We do not believe that we can!

Can you imagine how much greater we would all be if we

just heard the word “YES” a little more in our lives?

If you are in business or planning a business, I suggest you

just scratch the word “NO” from your vocabulary.  Just refuse

to hear it and start hearing the word “YES”, even if it’s only

in your own mind.

“YES, I can do this!”

“YES, I can do this exceptionally well!”

“YES, no one has ever done it better!”

You are going to have discouraging times in your business. 

I don’t care who you are or what you do, there will be

hundreds (thousands) of times that you will want to quit. 

Just throw in the towel.  Go back to your NORMAL life,

in your NORMAL job, with your NORMAL friends, in

your NORMAL house, driving your NORMAL car.

But, if you give into the word NO, and resume that NORMAL

life, I promise you that this will happen.

You will wake up in the middle of some night, and lay there

thinking about what could have been.  You will wonder where

you would be right now if you had continued pursuing your

goals and dreams.  You will think about that wish list of things

you were going to have or do once you “made it.” 

You will think about the people you met that DID encourage

you.  The ones that told you to never quit and to keep

following your dreams.  You will wonder where they are and

what they are doing now,  how big their house is and what

type of vacation they are planning.

You will lay awake for a long time.

Start right now to change the meaning that you associate with

the word NO.   Learn not to take it personally.  It’s

not about you.

Look at yourself in the mirror and say the word “NO” to

yourself as many times as you need to until you start to feel

a little humored by it.  Did you say it one time?  Ten times? 

One hundred times?  Five hundred times?

Are you still standing?

Ask yourself, “What’s the worst that can happen if someone

tells me NO?”

Now ask yourself, “What’s the best that can happen if

someone tells me YES?”

Focus on that scenario, and forget about the “NO’s.”

Go out in search of those “YESes” everyday and before

you know it, you’ll be waving good bye to that NORMAL

job, that NORMAL house, that NORMAL car.

You’ll have to decide for yourself about those NORMAL friends!
