Don’t Let the “What Ifs” Stop You

Don’t let the worry of failing stop you from becoming a success. Too often we let the “What Ifs” get in our way. You know what I mean – “What if I don’t know what I’m doing?” “What if my friends make fun of me?” “What if I FAIL?!?”

It can take REAL courage to fail. Do you know why? Because you actually have to take ACTION and that gets you one step closer to reaching your goals and becoming a SUCCESS. If you are new to Neora and a part of my team (if you aren’t, why not?!?) or you are thinking of joining me, you need to know that some of the most successful people in my business were feeling those very same feelings when they first started. Me? Well, I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was just a kid and yes, I feel the fear, but I know that is a normal part of business, so I don’t often let it stop me. In fact, the more fears I feel, the more successful I know I can become.

Here are some key tips to overcoming those fears and stopping the “What Ifs” in their tracks.

• Be Open for Business
• If you want people to purchase from you, hang out the OPEN sign (figuratively);
• Let them know what you are selling;
• Let them know you would love for them to support you –
• As a part of your business team,
• As a supportive, repeat customer,
• Or as a supportive friend – sharing and promoting your business on Social Media

• Watch Your Self Talk
• Turn those negative thoughts into positive ones
• Read affirmations until you are living them
• Create your annual vision boards (yes, I used to think they were hokey too, but after so many years of having those things on them come to be, well, I’m a true believer!
• Start every day with gratitude (I write out at least 3 things that I am grateful for)
• Create a vision statement – not like your vision board but write a page of what your life is like 5 years from now with as much detail as you can and read it out loud 2 times a day and watch how fast you start living that life.

• Be here to work in and on your business a year from now
• Don’t give up when it gets rough
• Lean on others who have done the business successfully and mirror their actions
• Who cares what other people think – Neora Founder and CEO Jeff Olson wrote “I used to care what people thought until I tried to pay my bills with their thoughts.”
• Do the hard things first thing – reach out to your customers and ask how they are loving their products and make suggestions of other products they might love too.
• Work through your obstacles – don’t be the reason you don’t succeed.

• Take a LEAP of FAITH in yourself
• Acknowledge your fear and just get busy doing the actions you know will lead to sales/success;
• Successful people do what Unsuccessful people are not willing to do.
• Realize and then remedy (with your upline leader and coach) the problems that are keeping you from success and then GET BUSY!
• Work as hard on yourself as you do in your business with personal development

• Find something to BELIEVE in
• At first it might not be you, so believe in the people who have done it before you;
• Due your due diligence – USE the products you are selling RELIGIOUSLY and build a portfolio of before and after pictures of yourself and your friends;
• Do all the training that is given to you – you wouldn’t start a job with no training or at least would start on the training right away if you get on-the-job training so DO IT;
• When you doubt yourself or you get a question you can’t answer, reach out to me.  I’ll be right here by your side.

It’s okay to feel fear in the moment. It makes us human. Remember that it is the actions you take that will define you and it will most definitely affect your outcome. Take action every day. Those actions done consistently and persistently will be the thing that creates your daily habits and form your business’s success. THRIVE!
