Success is in the Small Decisions

Have you read the book Don't Sweat the Small Stuff? The premise of the book if you haven't read it is that we worry too much about the little things that are unimportant. While there are many small things that are not important, we do need to pay attention to the small decisions that we make each day because success is in the small decisions.

Let me give you an example. Let's assume I'm 30 lbs. overweight and I make the big decision to lose 30 lbs. Whether or not I succeed in losing that 30 lbs. has very little to do with the big decision. It has to too with the little decisions I will make day in and day out from that point forward. As I pass that Krispy Kreme doughnut shop a small decision is made; do I go in or do I drive by? As the thought of exercise crosses my mind do I go to the gym or do I decide to watch TV?

Here's another example. Let's assume that I'm in a lot of credit card debt. I make a decision to change my spending habits and get out of debt. It's not that decision that creates success. It's the decision I make when I'm standing at Nordstrom's and see a sweater I like; do I pull out my credit card and buy the sweater or do I control the impulse?

Each day we make hundreds of decisions and each one of those decisions takes us closer to or farther away from our goal. And we do need to "sweat the small decisions" because they will determine whether we make the changes we want to in our lives or whether our lives five years from now are exactly the same as they are today.

This is especially true for your network marketing business. It is so easy to not make the small decisions that lead us to success. It's more comfortable to do what we have always done. Life intrudes, we get busy and we procrastinate doing what we need to do. Remember, procrastination is a decision and it is one that will take you away from your goals.

When you join a network marketing business and purchase product that is the big decision but that decision does not equal success. Success will come with the little decisions you will make each day. Do I take the time to make a list of the people that I know or do I postpone it one more day? Do I pick up the phone and make the call about the business or about the product or do I find excuses to do something else? Do I follow-up with my contact with a sense of urgency or do I say "I'll call tomorrow"? Do I listen to the training call and learn about the business or do I go out with friends? Do I participate in the opportunity calls or do I watch TV instead? Can you see how each decision while small will make all the difference in whether you are successful or not?

If you will keep this in mind throughout the day and each time you have to make a choice think about your goal and determine which choice takes you closer to your goal. You will not always make the right choice but if the majority of the decisions you make take you closer to the goal you will ultimately get there. The higher your percentage of correct decisions the quicker you will get there.

Make a list of the choices in each decision that take you closer to your goal and keep that list with you. Look at it throughout the day so that you keep in mind which choice you need to make each time you make a decision. Don't let yourself drift into accumulating, day after day, decisions that take you away from your goal. Just as success is an accumulation of correct decisions failure is an accumulation of wrong ones.

Success is in the small decisions. Be sure you make the right ones.

Ambassador and Master Distributor 

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

My name is Eileen Findlay and I live in Alberta, Canada. I was introduced to Xocai in June 2011 by my children Tanice & Steve Findlay as a weight loss and health product...I was losing weight and feeling great!

I had been involved in home-based businesses with my late husband, Ron, in the past and worked hard to get to the top through home parties, farmer's markets, training, coaching, networking, direct sales, keeping an inventory. Ron was my soul and inspiration. When we reached Directorship, I dedicated the Celine Dion song "Because You Loved Me" to him. Ron had a heart attack a few months later. Thankfully he survived but we gave up our business and our down-line migrated to our up-line. Without a residual income, all of our sweat, tears and teaching, was for nothing. We sold a lot of product at cost. Ron passed away two years ago from Cancer. Now, through with the support and encouragement of Tanice, I am building a home-based business of my own...with Healthy Chocolate!

It's So Exciting!! August 13^th I was at a Training Session/Pot Luck Lunch, put on by Kim MacIsaac. It was fantastic. We had a Skype call with Judy Murray. Kim sold the Summer Promo CD's "A billion people ate Chocolate yesterday". I hadn't bought any of the tools yet and thought I would give it a shot!

After the session, I was waiting for my ride, thinking of all the things I was going to do with my business. My ride came and the driver asked if there was a place to get coffee, but the coffee shop in the hotel had closed for the day. She asked me what I was doing on the outskirts of the city and I told her I had been at a "healthy chocolate training session". She thought that was interesting but was still wanting to find a coffee shop, but there wasn't one...this was a fairly new part of the city.

So....I suggested we have an X Power square. I was a new Independent Healthy Chocolate Distributor and let's listen to this new CD I just bought and we can learn more about Xocai!!! Now I was in her van, she had my chocolate in her mouth and she had my CD in her CD player!! What a captive audience!! The best part is I was in her van till she got me home and we had a long way to go. We listened to the CD 4 times. She was amazed! We exchanged names, phone numbers and booked a tasting for the following Sunday. I gave her the CD to share with her guests for the tasting. She asked for a second piece of chocolate for later and insisted I take $2.00 for the chocolate and the CD. I didn't want to take the money, but I didn't want to embarrass her, or myself.

Due to personal reasons she could not sample the chocolate on Sunday. It was suggested samples be dropped off at her home and she would attach notes to the labels for comments when she heard about the pieces of chocolate. Debbie Arcon lives nearby and offered to take the samples by, but was surprised to spend two hours there and to find an excited and enthusiastic person! She had researched MXI, Jeanette and Andrew Brooks and much more!

The tasting was a total success! It was presented by my sponsor Tanice Findlay and Debbie Arcon. I cannot thank these ladies enough for their support, knowledge and professionalism. My new friend has gone on and sponsored 2 more people with my CD and what we showed her! Who knew I would change her life and mine that afternoon?

And...I won Week 1 Summer CD Promo Contest (tying with Lara Tinker). I chose my one hour coaching with Ambassador Ian Murray....what a great mentor Ian is.

Thank you Xocai for making me HEALTHY, WEALTHY AND WISE!
