A car for the Dream Board

Dear Reader,

Do you ever grow weary of working toward your goals and wonder if they will ever come true? I have been working toward the same goals for years and I haven't pulled it off yet. Somehow, as with the economic justice work I do related to Developing Nation debt, the outcome doesn't seem to be as important as the work itself.  In Og Mendino's book, The Greatest Secret in the World, he gives the definition of a failure:  A person who has failed to meet his or her goals whatever they may be. Product DetailsBuy here.

I an not entirely sure that meeting the goal is the main thing.  My business goal has been and continues to be find and develop 3 leaders who build a thriving Shaklee business.  This is a volunteer business.  No one is hired.  I don't pay anyone.  I can teach and train anyone who is willing to follow a proven plan because I have a school to take a recruit through from the very first steps to mastery.  But that person must see the vision and agree to be trained.  As long as I keep prospecting and inviting with passion and persistence, I feel I am successful.

I get a little discouraged from time to time, but amazingly, as with the justice work, the work itself is worth doing whether the goal is reached or not.  We have a team of supportive people and I am growing in self confidence and ability every day.  We have a great time working together and everyone has the same goal with their own personal variations.  It would take a lot to get anyone to quit working.

Driving the Ford Fusion Hybrid car yesterday was one of the ways I stay in close touch with my goals.  On my way to reaching them, affording this car will be a reality. I've driven 4 cars that I earned with my Shaklee business, the most recent is a 2002 Prius which I love and isn't close to wearing out.  But a new car will be in the works in the future.  Shaklee may or may not have a program to reward us Legacy leaders with a bonus car.  No matter.  It's my Shaklee business that will give me the means to own the next one.

Will I have 3 sales leaders under me when I drive away in my new car?  Maybe, maybe not.  I will surely feel successful.  Failure is not a word I recognize in conjunction with my good name!

May it be so for you!
Be well and do well,
Betsy
