Once upon a time, late one Sunday night , myself and some leaders decided to let loose and have some fun after a big weekend training.
There were 11 of us as we walked to the elevator to go down to the lobby. As the door opens, I noticed it seems to be pretty small for 11 adults but nonetheless, we all hop in. The doors close as we adjust our bodies being packed in like sardines... The elevator starts moving down and a few seconds later, it suddenly stops as we feel a bit of a bounce. Yup - we’re stuck! I look over to the little sign that says "Maximum capacity 5 people" Ooops. There was a quick moment of silence as we all realized the situation we're in. You would think the natural instinct would have been to panic. (And I think for most people it would be) But strangely enough, we almost all burst into laughter. You have to ask yourself… Why we would laugh at a situation most would panic in? Well, I’m no psychologist, but the simple fact that all of us in the elevator were talented leaders in network marketing explains a lot. In network marketing, you don’t become a leader unless you learn to have the emotional power to get through situations that would paralyze the average person. Things like massive rejection… Fear of public speaking… Having people quit on you… Being ridiculed.. And I could go on. As I further psycho-analyze the mindset of those of us in the elevator, the truth is, on our journey to becoming leaders in network marketing, we had already been metaphorically "stuck" in our businesses so many times, getting stuck in an elevator was just another day at the office. You see, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been "stuck" trying to build my business. Feeling like no matter how hard I try I just can’t seem to get any momentum or break out of a plateau. But for all the times I’ve been stuck in my business, I’ve always found a way to get un-stuck. Myself and the other leaders didn’t panic because we knew we wouldn’t stay stuck. We knew there was a way out. So listen, my friend. If you feel stuck… If you feel like you just can’t seem to get any traction in your business… If you are frustrated, feel defeated, discouraged, or are beating yourself up… Know this… There is ALWAYS a way out. Keep searching, keep learning, keep working and you WILL get un-stuck. You can do this.
