Hello guys,

Today quite a busy day for me. A lot of emails to reply……but it is fun.

Why? The circle of friends are getting bigger and bigger each day.

When
I start coaching someone, I focus on helping them figure out their
"WHY". Why are they doing whatever business they’re doing?

People always tell their goals.

That’s fine. You need goals.

But the REAL truth is, WHY are YOU doing this business? There’s a big, big, big reason, something that will keep you going.

If your "WHY" is a 70% and you come up against an obstacle that’s a 72%, you’re gone! You’ll drop out, disappear.

But when your "WHY" is so huge that it can’t be overshadowed, THEN you’re there to stay and be successful.

When
I first started coaching and people would write down their "WHY", it
was usually money. They want to make so much money, or pay off a
hospital bill, or replace an old car, or buy a new home, or settle the
debts. Whatever.

But your REAL "WHY" is never money. It’s always about who you really are.

Why
are you on this planet? What is it you were meant to do? In one form or
another, you’re here to change lives, touch lives, help people.

It’s NEVER about the money.

This is what Paul Birdsall (owner of PIF4P) told me about his "Why?"……….read further…….

When I coach a person, I always tell my own "WHY". It’ll give you a starting point. So I’ll share it with you.

The
#1 reason I’m in this business, that I’m here on this planet, is
because I want to spend more quality time with my family. People say,
"Paul, that’s crazy. You work full-time in network marketing, you work
at home. You’re already right there."

Yes. BUT … I treat business as business. When I’m in the office, I’m in the office. Same as if my office was 20 miles away.

Yeah, I can walk into the kitchen and grab a sandwich and see the family.

But this is a business. I treat it like a business.

So #1 is spend more quality time with my family.

#2, my second "WHY", is to feel good about myself. That’s why we have done Pay-It-Forward 4 Profits for people in any network marketing company. We’ve never charged a dime.

My credentials? Twelve years of hard knocks, 12 years of life lessons. Full-time in network marketing since 1998.

I’ve seen it all.  Everytime a company or distributorship explodes and goes away, it’s because of greed and ego. Beware greed & ego. Stay away.

The people we attract don’t have a greed & ego problem. They are humble people, people who want success. Like your sponsor here.

But there’s more to this "WHY". It’s very personal …just as your "WHY" should be.

My
school teachers were pessimists. They’d tell me, "You’re no good.
You’ll never amount to anything. You’ll never have a pot to pee in."

But I programmed my mind to reject what they told me.

My
mother, would say, "Paul, I love you. I’m proud of you. You can do
anything you want. Look at that beautiful picture you drew for me!"

At 7 years old, I made a conscious decision that I liked my Mom’s reality better than I liked my teachers reality.

So
when my teachers or anyone started running me down, I’d just step into
the theater of my mind. I’d picture & hear my Mom saying what a
great kid I was. I’d literally feel her hugging me. I’d stop feeling bad.

So now, to feel good about myself, I MUST help people.

There’s
a husband and wife team that was with a network marketing company for 2
years and never sponsored anybody. We’ve been coaching them 7 or 8
months. It’s amazing. They may win the top recruiter award in their
company this year. They’re sponsoring 10 or 12 people a month.

They’ve gone from their heads to their hearts.

Okay…guys….you’ve read what Paul’s has to say about his "Why?".

You’ll
hear me say this a lot. It’s NOT a sales business. It’s a
teaching/mentoring business. They’re not selling anything. I mean,
really, they’re NOT selling anything. They are Paying It Forward.

I exist to mentor & coach you to success. Not MY success. YOURS! We will train you here. All of us in the group.

So
my first bit of coaching is, figure out your own "WHY". Write it down.
Test it mentally. (Is it enough to keep you going in VERY tough times?)

They’ve gone from their heads to their hearts.

CRITICAL: If you don’t have a very strong, written "WHY", you have almost NO chance of sticking around long enough to be successful in this business.

When you’re happy with your "WHY", email it to me. We’ll talk about it.

Take care,
Rosli M Hanip
