Today was my new job training in Connecticut. The presenters were all successful people in the business and each told the steps I needed to do to succeed in this business. They did a great job and were very motivating. The presentation was, once again, the same one that I saw online last week. At first I thought I was wasting my time driving all the way to Connecticut and back again to just hear the exact same thing, by the exact same people I saw do it online last week.
Then I remembered something the trainer said in one of the live conference calls I listened to last week. He said you had to hear the same thing over and over again so you had the skills when you needed them. Then I thought back to teaching. To learn anything so that it’s an automatic response, you need 1500 repetitions. I tend to think this is where most people fail in this business. You need to put in the time to learn, to an automatic level, what you need to know to succeed. So many people rush out without taking part in thorough training, fail, then blame the business.
As I listen and learn and move slowly, I see that although this is a great concept and saves people money, it’s not a get rich quick scheme. It’s a job. It involves time and attention. You have to really WANT to do it. It has to occur at a time in your life when you really want to make a change. You have to be willing to study and teach yourself, just like writing and publishing a book.
Haha! Guess what? I just described myself. Guess I’m getting involved in the right business, at the right time.
And so, as another day goes by, I commit to doing it right and I accept the challenge to make this work, and….I have written.
