Remember Your Passion
Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in WHAT we do, in the day to day, and forget WHY we do it.
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, or you feel like you’re taking baby steps toward your goal, when you face failure or feelings of defeat, remember your passion.
Surround yourself with people who share your passion. Ask your Recruiter, Director, Senior Director or NSD (based on where you are on the career path) to join you for coffee. Ask her what she does when she feels she isn’t moving forward, or isn’t reaching her goals fast enough. Meet with other consultants or directors to share ideas and work toward common goals. Create or join an accountability group for other consultants or directors who are trying to reach the same goal. You will be inspired, encouraged and reignited from time with these women and they will likely glean the same experience from time spent with you.
Keep in mind, what goes in is what comes out. Listen to talks from seminar, career conference and meetings from years gone by. Read spiritually uplifting books. Listen to positive music and eat good food. Start a gratitude journal. Write notes to friends, family, customers, team members and unit members regularly. You’ll find your own spirits lifted.
Serve somewhere. Serve in church, serve in a soup kitchen, serve in a nursing home, serve in a school. Where ever it might be in what ever way you can find a way to serve others. You might have time for this to be a weekly or monthly occurrence. Serving allows you to forget what it is that is heavy on your own heart and focus your attention to the lives of others.
When you do these things you will remember why you wanted to begin this business in the first place. You will make connections with like minded individuals. You will remember why you needed the change, the extra money and girl-friends. You’ll be filled up emotionally and able to pour out to others. Your passion for empowering women will exude from you and you will have the opportunity to impact the community around you.
