My 5yr old nephew’s courage and your business success

Went swimming yesterday at Julies parents house. Julie is my girlfriend, soon to be fiance. So we were swimming at her folks house and hers sister was there wither her 5 hear old son Wily. He’s just learning to swim without his floaties on yesterday his courage soared. His father Johnny and I were trying to teach him to dive head first into the pool.

For his first try I was standing in the water and he got out of the water with his floaties till on. He stood on the side of the pool looking at us. He had a divers mask on and he was ready.

Since it was his first try, I remember thinking to myself “he’s probably gonna do a cannon ball”

We gave him the count. One, two, three.

To my complete surprise little Willy struck his arms straight out and dove into the water like superman. He hit the water with a loud slap. It was an amazing belly flop. I know that it must have stung, but he didn’t bat an eye. Within a few moments he was back out and trying again.

I was so impressed. He showed tremendous courage.

It made me realize that many times all it takes to become successful in something is the courage to take that first leap. Maybe things won’t work out exactly like you wanted them to, but then you just get back up, make some adjustments and try again.

If you have not yet found the success in your business that you want. Is there something holding you back? Have you been hesitating because of fear?

Well take it from little Willy. Go for it. You might do a little belly flop, but that’s ok. You can try again. And again, then eventually you will get it right.

One more thing to mention is that Willy had us there. Meaning that he had his father and me to coach him. We showed him a bunch of times how to dive in the water before he ever gave it a try. I’m sure it would have taken him much longer to do it all on his own.

Do you have a good role model or system to follow?

Most likely by now you know the system that I use in my business. If you are not using a any kind of systematic processes in your business then you are most likely going to belly flop for a long time before you get it right.

Grab a copy of Warp-Speed MLM success and find out the system I use as well as the 3 step process that just makes everything extremely easy.

Until next time, have lot’s of fun.

Hey Stefan,

Kids are often the best teachers! They aren’t programmed with a lot of the negative and fearful ways of thinking that we are. They learn how to walk, run, and someday ride a bike, without all the worries of “what if I fail?” They just keep going until they get it right! I can’t think of a more pure, powerful example than that.

And I agree that coaching is so important. Even very successful people are always learning and touching base with mentors and good friends to keep themselves on track. No one should have to go it alone.

Thanks for sharing!

Elizabeth
