Learning to live a life of great expectations is really not that difficult at all: it simply requires a shift in the way that you think. For most of us, our parents began telling us at a young age that we could be anything that we wanted to be. As children with limitless imaginations, we believed them! Somewhere along the way, life and all of it's negative influences happened and those beliefs changed to, "I can't do it because (fill in the blank)." If you truly want to be successful, whatever success means to you, you must get back to that childlike way of thinking.
To put it simply, your life is what you expect it to be: EXACTLY what you expect it to be. For network marketing professionals, if you expect to present your business opportunity to a prospect only to be turned down, chances are that's exactly what will happen. Your expectations come through in your presentation. You could very well have a prospect that is so excited he or she is bursting at the seams, but because of your less than stellar energy, they quickly loose interest. Don't be the water to their flame!
Will everyone see your opportunity as the best in the world and be dying to get signed up? Most likely not. But you won't know the difference until you actually present your plan! Treat everyone with the same intensity and excitement no matter how you're feeling at that particular moment in time. Always try to recall how excited you were when you first joined your company and bring that same energy to the table.
One last thing: anyone who took an introductory psychology course learned that the basic definition of insantity is"performing the same task in the same way and expecting a different outcome every time." That theory simply does not apply in the world of sales and network marketing! No matter how many times your business opportunity is consecutively turned down by prospects, continue to expect the next meeting to end in success. You are what you think you are, so expect nothing but great things!
