The road to success is not too far from the road to failure....  with stops along the way like quitting, negativity and naysayers.  It's really easy to get hung up in the stops.  If we examine the options, and really learn the advantages or disadvantages, it might help us become stronger and not get hung up with those things that hold us bad from reaching success.

We should first all understand that the rate or speed in which we reach success is not the same for all of us.  A regulation major league baseball game will normally end after 9 innings, but rain could cut it short or a tie score could cause it to have to go longer.  Only you can determine when you have reached success in your chosen endeavor, and it may be shorter or longer than the time taken by someone else.  It's most important that you do not use time to get there as the measure.

Whether you are a member of the Scentsy Family with me, and I hope you are or will be, see my contact information below, or you are in some other line of business or sales...  there are some things you can do that should enhance your ability to become successful, and perhaps shorten the length of time to get there, depending on how fast you can master a few things.

Get out of your comfort zone.  If you keep doing just the things you like to do or find easy to do, you'll be right where you are now.  There's an old saying that goes something like: If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always gotten.  To move forward, you need to keep trying new things.  You might not do them well at first, keep working at it, you'll get better.  Talk to new people, expand you network of people you know.

Do something to make your work space better....  in my case, I just need to clean it up.  Touch papers once when possible.  Read it, take action and discard it or file it (if you really need to). I have SO much stuff that I really don't need.  My best intentions are to pass things along to others who might have use for the "stuff", or I'll deal with it later so it sits around.  It's time to de-clutter.  Take 30 minutes every day to get more organized and toss what you really don't need.

A core Scentsy value is about giving more than you take.  I contend giving more than we take should be a core value everyone should live by.  Try volunteering, doing something for someone else.  Don't ask for, expect or want recognition for what you do...  that only dilutes the goodness into giving only to get.  Give from your heart and walk away.  There is always someone out there less fortunate than you are...  look for opportunities to be kind.
