Think about that! What would happen if you made 2-3 extra calls? What would happen if you stayed at it an extra 30-60 minutes? What would happen if you asked the customer one more question?
Throughout history, the leading cause of success has been persistence. People who stayed with it and turned one more corner, made one more call, tried one more time. Today … persist and do not quit!

Everyone has their own idea of commitment:
What is your idea of committment?
Some people’s level of commitment goes up when they are challenged…others when things are going well? Which are you?
If you get discouraged easily and quit then you have to evaluate your level of commitment.
Can you measure commitment? The following is adapted by a CD of Committment by Clay Stevens of Ri Training: We will measure commitment by time and money invested in your business.
It is working your business consistently until you accomplish your goals and dreams you have for your business: High Achievers do this consistently. So let’s measure commitment by the TIME invested in your business.
So the time you invest in your business doing the following:
Prospecting, enrolling new people, personal improvement, goal setting,
SOME TIMER: 1 hour a day or 6-10 hours a week with a day off each week. Their progress will be slow and possibly painful. You need to be CONSISTANT. It can be daunting as a hobbyist or small business owner to be committed to their new venture.
SPARE TIMER—2 hours a day a night off is like taking 20% of your time off. It says that putting the time in is negotiable. You need to stay focused. Match your goals to your time commitment. How will they lead to larger success.
PART TIMER: 15-25 hours per week being in the game for a few hours a day will make a difference. Being engaged will build your confidence. Your conversion of prospects to customers will increase and you will not be as discouraged.
Will be able to do all your follow ups and be able to attend all your up line events including conference calls and webinars. Key is CONSITSTANCY doing this can produce job dropping income.
FULL TIMER:—make it big at an accelerated pace:
Career Change—you have sufficient RI to without worrying about time or money.50 hours a week at the beginning then 25 once you have reached your potential. Making their contacts, plan appropriately to complete all their follow ups. Closing rates should be increased and puts you in the spotlight to your team and the company. You are taking control of your future.
People enroll in this business NOT to help you with your personal aspirations but to pursue and attain their own dreams and goals. It is not about YOU but about them!
Don’t quit your job until your income replaces your full time job income.
No matter which time you choose as long as you CONSISTANTLY commit to the time every week. BUT you can’t have a some time goal commitment with full-time goals.
Another way to identify how committed you are to your business is:
How much financial investment are you looking at committing?
- BEGINNER: no business experience so investing anything seems a risk. Most will invest the least amount they can afford. Won’t borrow for conventions, books cds etc.
- HOBBYIST: will invest some and will FULLY engage in company’s training, be on company’s auto ship if an option and engage in a personal test….…if they invest how much will they receive back? Usually we get back a thousand fold what we invest when we follow thru with what we invest in.
- AMATEUR: Talk the talk but don’t like to put their $ where their mouth is. They are very selective at where they put their money.
- PROFESSIONAL: very easy to identify. Engaged in training system. Plenty of marketing materials, invest in any training available and go to all training opportunities.
What will it take to achieve YOUR dreams and goals.
If your goal is to produce job dropping income in the next 3 years…what amount of time would you put in?
Drop watching TV in evening…..you can make excuses or money but not both.
Commit the time necessary to build your success. Commit to specific times and days and a certain amount of money to invest in your success
Commit to a personal improvement plan.
“What would happen today if you persisted and did not quit?”
Think about that! What would happen if you made 2-3 extra calls? What would happen if you stayed at it an extra 30-60 minutes? What would happen if you asked the customer one more question?
Throughout history, the leading cause of success has been persistence. People who stayed with it and turned one more corner, made one more call, tried one more time. Today … persist and do not quit! Press on! by Carl Flowers
