Did you know that “it is easier to succeed than fail?”
Surprised? Think about it.
But first You Are…Unique…
You had a 1 in million chances to be born.
This make you unique in the world. No other person living, dead or anytime in the future will ever be like you.
You had to learn how to eat, craw, walk and run.
You had to learn how to count, 1-2-3—. You had to learn the ABC’s, read and write.
You had to learn how to ride a bike, drive a car and in some cases learn how to fly. You had to learn to use tools, computers, cook…
You joined a company and learned the job requirements.
Every day is a new day and a new learning experience. Tomorrow has never been and is never experienced until it becomes today.
“Be Better Today Than Yesterday. Be Better Tomorrow Than Today.”
As you can see, it is easier to succeed than to fail in life. All you do is practice and learn.
That’s it!
You may face a challenge or two, today tomorrow, next month or next year, but you did it and you can do it!
Your business is no different…you can succeed if you put your mind to it.
While studying the qualities of successful people, I was struck by what is “normal.”
Normal
Was Bill Gates “normal?’ Einstein “normal?” What about, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Winston Churchill? In baseball…was Babe Ruth “normal?”
Roger Bannister was the first person to run a mile under 4 minutes. Until then everyone said it was imposable. Now it is done quite often.
Was Roger Bannister normal? Yes he was…he knew it could be done and then when about to do it!
What about some of our great leaders, scientist, doctors, educators, philosophers?
Then there is the person who takes on something that no one else will do. The next door neighbor who volunteers. The mom and dad who are the parents of a child (that’s a challenge). Grandma and grandpa.
Let’s don’t leave out our public service who protect us such as the fireman, and police officers who go to work every day.
The army soldier, airman, navy, marine who protect our nation never knowing if they will come home.
Are they “normal?”
Then there is the person who sets out out on a different road. The business owner, the entrepreneur who said “I want more to life than the ordinary.”
Are they “normal?”
Then comes the home business owner…are they “normal?” I’ll answer that with a NO!!! They have taken the role of entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurs commonly face many obstacles when building their business. The successful entrepreneur looks past the obstacles with a “Can Do Attitude.”
You may have a home based business, work at home business, a retail store, lawn service, you may have developed your own product. You work full-time or part-time on helping others to loose weight, exercise, eat healthy, or any other opportunity to better someone else.
Are they “normal?”
Tryett Cathy started Chick Fil, Sam Walton founded Walmart, James Penny at 70 years old started JC Penny’s, Ray Kroc took a little company in San Bernardino, CA and grew it into a one of the largest “Speed Service” restaurant in the world…McDonald’s.
Are all these people “normal?” YES They Are!
All they did was step forward and do something different. Something that no one else was willing or wanted to do.
The home business owner or affiliate marketer has stepped forward and is doing something different…to improve themselves while helping others to improve themselves. This is either by helping create a better financial future or products to help or improve their lives or BOTH.
Wired For Success
Men and women by nature were born to be a hunter/gatherer. Their hunting methods may have changed as well as the things they gathers. But they still takes pride in bringing home the results of his forages, stores them for the future; and even shows them off to friends and associates.
Since the start, men and women have always been “wired for success.”
Our wire for success would not let up until he/she achieves what they set their sights on. To come home-empty handed is unthinkable. They knew that they would be a subject of derision and mockery from the family, friends and associates.
And failure to them means:
- I didn’t work hard enough
- I quit
- I didn’t even try
- I lost the opportunity when it was presented
- Discouragement and discontent that comes with failure
- Giving up just before success
George Bernard Shaw wrote:
“When I was young, I observed that nine out ten things I did were all failures so I worked ten times harder.”
Unless you thrive in those negative feelings associated with failure, you will do all you can not to fail.
But if we are “wired for success” and since we hate to fail, then why are there so many failures than successes? Isn’t there some disconnect in here?
Before you give yourself a dose of anti-headache pills, let’s put a clear perspective on failure and having failed.
Real failure can only happen two ways:
- First, if you didn’t do anything but sit on your butt all your life and
- Second, after having tried and failed, you never give it another try.
Otherwise, failure is only temporary. And it can happen to anybody.
Henry Ford failed several times, so did Bill Gates, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and millions of others in between. They all failed before they achieved the success, recognition and wealth before their names became parts of history.
Thomas Edison failed more times than he succeeded. “I have not failed, I just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Failure is a necessary ingredient to learning. All components of the computer in your brain were tested to see how far they will go before they fail. Almost everything that we use daily were tested to fail.
Life will test you every day and several ways on countless occasions to the point of failure.
There is nothing to be ashamed about failing, nothing to be depressed about just do it again this time a little different.
Can’t is not a reason to say I QUIT!
It’s true, everybody hates to fail.
But it is only shameful, despicable and hateful if you allow it to bring you down completely; if you refuse to get up after each fall to continue with the chase then yes you have failed.
Thomas A. Edison said:
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
I love affiliate marketers, network marketers or people in who are working a business, whether it be a home based business, brick and mortar business or creating something new and exciting . Here’s Why?
They know the challenges. They see success and over look those who say, “it can’t be done or you can’t succeed.” They hear NO more often than YES and still have to keep going. Marketers must be positive every day, even while the world seam to be against them.
I love entrepreneur’s because they take on the challenges. They step out of the “normal.” They truly are the entrepreneurs of today. They have an “I can do this” attitude. “I’m not satisfied with being ‘normal’.” “I’m not a Complainer…I’m a doer.”
“If you can dream it, you can do it.”-– Walt Disney
You are unique. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
Remember….”Failure Is Not An Option!”
You now know that “it is easier to succeed than fail?”
Now go do it!
Cheers,
