This is one that I want to encourage you to really take a minute to read and not put away for later. Don’t put it off. It could change the results in your business immediately. The word encourage--- I want to suggest, is an important action for you to learn to do for yourself. At times, we all seem to be better at doing it for others and we forget how important it is to do for ourselves. Don’t do the opposite for yourself and end up doing something to discourage yourself. Take the words “I Can’t” (I certainly am not trying) out of your vocabulary. Start saying, “How Can I?” Decide to start a, “Stomp Out I Can’t Word Complain Campaign” at your house and with your fellow team members.There are so many e-words to include but the one I focused on is the one below. The word "expectations" can be just what you need to have for the results you would like to enjoy. Decide to eliminate any excuses from helping you meet your own expectations.
Expectations
What you think is sometimes what you get. And what you are hesitant to think about can be something you could have in life but will never have because you decide to just be a "settler" in
life.
Sometimes we expect more of others around us than we do ourselves. Would we ever allow our children to get out of oral book reports in school? However, how many of us almost did not have a business because we had to learn to stand up and talk in front of groups? I was one of those!
Do we expect our children to go to school all day, do homework, be included in activities, and still keep their room clean? Do we have the same expectations of ourselves when it comes to building a business–expecting to work alongside family and other activities?
Expect the best of yourself and then your activities will match your expectations. Doubt your abilities and there will generally be no activity.
Expect to feel uncomfortable when you are dealing with change and personal growth. Then those feelings of discomfort will be a great indication of something exciting and new.
While I was in the hospital for five and a half months, there were days when I just wanted to be able to turn over without being rolled over by nurses. Then I just wanted to be able to sit for an hour without being dizzy. Then something as simple as being able to no longer need to use bedpans (which I had to do for almost three months) became something to cause me to expect a different behavior of myself. That expectation terrified me! I had to learn to stand on a foot that was rebuilt after I was.
