Each year brings a new adventure. This year, I decided to recommit myself to my network marketing business. Like many others, I associated negatively with network marketing. I never bothered to see if I was perhaps a contributing factor to past failures.
One of my goals has been to re-connect with people. I have been reaching out to people who are on my contact list to see if they are interested in coffee. This story is about a failed attempt. Here’s what happened:
I almost decided to respond, but then I just deleted our text conversation and her contact information. I was one of those people who use to collect business card and fail to follow up. I know now that just because we don’t do business today, does not mean we might not do business later, if at all. It’s not about how many names you have on a list, it’s about the friends you make from your opportunities.
There are times in life when there will be two things that we may want but are not be able to decide which one is the one we should hold onto and which one do we let go of. When I was watching my granddaughter the other a day, she had her pacifier in her mouth when she tried to put the bottle in her mouth at the same time. She would not take the pacifier out of her mouth. I laughed and asked her, which one baby? “You can’t have the bottle and keep the pacifier in your mouth.” So often life offers up choices to us. When it comes to choosing things that will help us grow in life remember, we can’t gain new insight holding onto old thinking. To grow and thrive, we can’t eat with a pacifier in our mouth.
