Chapter 9 – Persistence
I would like to share with you how I persisted to
move my business forward today.
I drove to the Pentiction which is a town  about 10 miles from where
I live and on the drive I said my self talk which I borrowed from the
self talke Michael shared with us yesterday.
So all the way as I drove to Pentiction I said:  I am attracting people
who are interested in getting "filled in the name of my Product".
Hills tells us that persistence is based on definite causes, some are these:
a.   Definiteness of purpose.  My purpose was to go out and
hand out my business cards, which is actually a product card find some
new customers and partners.
b.   Desire:  My desire was to gain some contacts, drum up new business
and get myself known.
c.   Self-reliance.  I knew in my heart I could do it.
d.   Definiteness of Plans.  My plan was to go to town and go to every
business and introduce myself and my product.
e.   Accurate knowledge.   I knew my product, I had viewed how others
had promoted it and I just needed to make it mine and take ownership.
f.   Co-operation.  I would introduce myself and tell my prospective customer
what I was there for and I had their co-operation to tell them about it.
g.   Will-power.  I knew I could do it, I knew it would work and I just had to
put in the action.
h.   Habit.  I created the habit from going to each business and talking to
the person there and doing it over and over again.
What did I learn?
1.   Do not accept their initial reaction.  Some thought they knew what the
product was but I would explain what it did for me and they
were then interested in knowing how it would help them.
2.   Be prepared for some surprises.  Mine were all positive.
3.   I figured out how to make it work for me.  I claimed it and made it mine.
I did not procrastinate I just went out there and did it and it turned
out to be a lot of fun.  I met some wonderful people, handed out
87 cards, sold some product, and created for the future some
prospective customers and a prospective partner for the future.
It was a very successful day.

This week we are going to talk about a topic that many people want to avoid, persistence. Persistence requires consistent, daily effort and action. Can the actions be effortless? Sure they can be, as long as we have done the previous 8 steps (chapters) in "Think and Grow Rich".
Michael share the $100,000 Success Formula with us on the Monday Leaders Skills call, and it fit right in with exact what I need to be persistent in doing right now. Here are the 5 Skill Sets that Michael laid out:
1. The number of people we talk to per day.
Not the number of people we email, text message, or Skype with, the mumber of people we actually have a direct voice conversation with, either via telephone or Skype call. (This has been a major week spot for me, and has help me back from growing my business.)
2. The Quality of the people we are talking to
Most of the people who download "Success in 10 Steps" are people who already believe in network marketing and Want Desparately to have success. Pretty good quality of people to talk to. To really push in over the edge, I asked myself "Am I the kind of person who attracts the leaders in network marketing?
3. How much do People Like Me?
Most people either can't stand me, or they are really impressed with my enthusiasm and consistent, truthful message. One thing I have definitely learn from 30 Day Mental Cleanse is that I have become the person that people want to join. (which we cover in more detail in #5)
4. You Skill and Knowledge Level
From what I have learned in Mentoring for Free, there are three major skill bases that I must master in order to become the leader I want to become in network marketing: 1) A working knowledge of my company and products (even a belief in them) 2) A personal development program that teaches me How To Think not What To Think, and 3) the skill of being able to communicate effectively with any personality (we call that the Colors to Success in MFF).
5. You Success Thermostat
How much do I Believe that I Can Have the Success that I want. Can I look myself in the mirror and say, "I Love You"? Those skills, the skills of persistent Self-Development, are what we develop when we fully participate in 30 Day Mental Cleanse.
When we honestly look at these 5 Skills Sets, if any of them are coming up a 0 (goose egg), then That is the area to Focus on with absolute persistence. In order to get that kind of focused persistence it is probably going to be necessary to face some F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real). Please, do yourself and you family a favor an ask for help with those fears. At Mentoring for Free, we have a well honed persistence in helping network marketers overcome fear.
To Your Peace and Prosperity,

Groundhog Day or Karen Killilea? Which will it be?
Have you ever seen the movie Groundhog Day? Morning after morning he wakes up
to live the same day over and over again.  until he gets it right. Day after day he
lives in utter frustration until finally one morning he wakes up to a brand new day.
"Karen" is the biography of Karen Killilea, who was born with cerebral palsy, and was
fiercely independent even as a young child. She would spend an hour and a half in
the mornings putting on her socks and shoes by herself, rather depend on her mother
to do it for her. At age 11, after seven months of coaching, she wrote an original
sentence by herself. It took her 36 minutes. When she was finished, she looked up
at her proud and beaming parents and said, "I can walk. I can talk. I can read.
I can WRITE. Mom Pom, I can do ANYTHING!"
Groundhog Day is a story of frustration and repeating many of the same mistakes
over and over again, always wondering what he was doing wrong, until finally he
gave in and did it right.
Karen Killilea is a story of determination, faith and persistence... a young girl who
refused to give in to what others would consider insurmountable obstacles. Thoughts
of failure never crossed her mind. She lived each day with her eye on her goal of
independence, and everything she did was toward that end.
Groundhog Day or Karen Killilea... which will it be?
I don't know about you, but I know the answer for me!

P.S. Mentoring For Free gives us the Recipe, the Formula, the Map to Success.
We don't have to stumble and bumble around in frustration, wondering what we're
doing wrong. We can live each day with our eye on the goal, knowing that time and
effort are not important. Success WILL ultimately come.

The Eighth Step toward Riches
Persistence is the POWER OF WILL.
An example of some who were effective in their use of persistence were the Fords, Carnegies, Rockefellers, Napoleon Hill and Edisons.  One might be inclined to think the average person couldn't be included in that group.
We can be included if we apply PERSISTENCE to Napoleon Hill's 13 factors.  We must have a definite goal and a definite plan to reach that goal.  The amount of PERSISTENCE we have is directly proportional to the INTENSITY OF ONE'S DESIRE.
I can relate to this INTENSITY OF DESIRE.  When I met my future wife, Lucy, I'm not sure of the exact moment, but sometime early in our relationship I knew I was going to marry her.  The possibility of that not happening NEVER entered my mind.  I just knew it was going to happen.
I'm working toward that same PERSISTENCE mind set in my MLM business with the help of the MFF mastermind group.  Finally, I have found a system that will help me achieve any goal I set.
I have already experienced self-talk being able to get me back on track when I stray off a bit.
There is no substitute for persistence:
"EVERY FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT ADVANTAGE."
Those of us who accept this rule know from experience the soundness of persistence.  My marriage of 48 years is a good example.
Success of our MLM business is based on the 8 elements of persistence:
Definiteness of purpose
Desire
Self-Reliance
Definiteness of Plans
Accurate knowledge
Co-operation
Will-Power
Habit
Several of these elements have already had a positive effect on my life by improving my relationship with others.  The road is long and narrow, but now I know there is a roadmap that will get me there.
Thanks to all in the MFF mastermind group.
