Early in my career with Zija, way back in February, I was working towards qualifying for my car. It was a Friday morning and I was a long way away from where I needed to be by Friday evening to qualify. There was an Olympic hockey game on that day, a big one, Canada vs the US, and I told my mentor, Melanie Greenough, that I knew I wasn’t going to get to my goal that day, so I would just leave it and go for it next month. She happened to be in my house and said to me, ‘you go ahead and watch the hockey game, I have a business to build.’ Needless to say, I didn’t watch the game, Canada won without my assistance and it was a double win, because that night I hit my goal. Now why am I sharing this story? That day I didn’t give up, I kept going and all of a sudden results were showing up from places I never thought possible. I sat in that chair and kept moving in the direction of where I wanted to go. I didn’t take myself out at the first sign of not reaching the goal. Bigger than that, it’s not about reaching the financial goal or the car; it’s about the feeling of pushing myself to the end, of going to bed done, complete, knowing I gave it my all. It’s about the intensity and the challenge and the results, the teamwork, pushing the comfort zone. It’s about collecting the no’s, instead of giving up after the first one. An upcoming leader on our team said to me last night, ‘I love it when someone says no, it brings me closer to my next yes.’ The jumping up and down at 11:00pm on a Friday night when I, or 1 of our team, cross that line, is a feeling you can’t buy or even know if you are uncomfortable stepping outside your comfort zone. What’s even better than that is when you aren’t the only one jumping!! We are all playing the same game of life, if you want something that you dont currently have, I suggest you find someone that supports your dream, let them know what you are going for, lace up and get out there and create your own game, your own results. Where do you want to be on your Fridays in life?
