Have you ever been Scuba Diving? It has been one our dreams to Scuba Dive, so we finally decided to do it.
We were both so excited. As I read thru my instructional book I became very nervous and started questioning whether or not I could really do it. I actually cried almost the whole way to class, fear and uncertainty were setting in. Then, came time to get into the pool and practice what we had been learning. Let’s just say my husband described me as a cat in water. Have you ever seen a cat dunked in water for a bath and all four’s come out – well that was me. The instructor actually pulled me by the arm around the deep end. I was in sheer panic – all I could think is “I want to live”. Have you ever seen the movie “Pacifier”? There’s a scene in the movie of the little girl kissing land after her older sister drove them to school – that was me. As you might imagine it was very intense. Of course, my hubby was like a fish in water.
Before our next confined dives, I asked a few people to pray for me to help me overcome my fears. I met with the instructor before class and he worked with me one on one. By the end of the night I had conquered my fears. I was doing it. I got so jazzed, it was incredible! After our open water dives (that went great, by the way), we were certified. I had not only survived, but really enjoyed it in the end. (Okay, I didn’t enjoy the Perch nipping at the top of my head)
As I was reflecting on my experience, it reminded me of how some of us are in regards to starting our own business. We’re excited at the concept, but once we take the first step and spend a little money we get scared and bail out before we give ourselves a chance to succeed. I almost bailed on diving, but I stuck with and it paid off. The same is true with Network Marketing. In my business, the ones who fail are the ones who bail. And just as our dive instructor worked with me, we will also work with you. We’re a Team!
We all have those moments in life where we doubt if we can do something or not. And sometimes these are the very moments in which define to some extent who we are. Don’t let fear keep you stuck where you are. If you want to change your financial future – then DO IT!
To Your Success!
