My Challenge - Day 17

• In Your Network Marketing Homebased Business
  Avoid Mediocrity At All Costs!

2

• Weve covered a lot of great topics so far lots
  of insights that should help you build your
  business and become influential.
• Today I want to elaborate on a few topics weve
  already covered. It basically covers your belief
  and purpose. Why are you doing things? How do you
  deal with challenges?

3

• A lot of times we tend to shy away from certain
  things because were often conditioned to think
  that doing something easy without much effort is
  the best way of doing it. We as human beings like
  to do things that require the least amount of
  effort. It wont stretch us outside our comfort
  zone.
• From personal experience, I can tell you that
  you need to get rid of your comfort zone. Its a
  thing that prevents you from achieving any type
  of greatness or success.

4

• Im actually taking a 90 day fitness challenge
  with Julian Michaels. Its a personal struggle
  when Im trying to lose about 20-25 pounds. Ive
  been doing it for a while.
• Whats interesting is she is constantly pushing
  you. She will yell at you, swear at you to move
  your ass and get to work. I remember one
  particular exercise where she literally said,
  Your comfort zone is something that is holding
  you back. Its a place that is keeping you in
  mediocrity. Youll never get better in your
  comfort zone.

5

• I can say in exercise, thats very true. When it
  gets too difficult and youre on the ground
  gasping for air, you really dont want to push
  yourself. Youre already tired. The key is if you
  just go that extra little inch or mile, youll be
  astounded by how much youre able to accomplish.
• I think the same thing can be said with how you
  operate your business. Do you do things
  half-assed or whole hearted? Thats the question
  we need to ask ourselves continuously.

6

• Its not just something that we do once and
  thats it. Its something we have to develop and
  continue to do over and over again. Were often
  challenged with these same principles every
  single day. Every day is a challenge to avoid
  mediocrity and push ourselves to become better.
• The people that are able to achieve greatness
  know that. They go through the process and own
  it. Its not always the most glorious and fun
  thing to do often its rather mundane.

7

• One book that I really got a lot of insights
  from is Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. He talks
  about how his Dad would do dead lifts just about
  every day at 6am and it would wake him up. He was
  unrelenting about it and had a strict discipline.
  Although he was in great shape, he applied that
  same discipline in his business. He hit top sales
  and become financially independent.

8

• We usually attribute this kind of success to one
  huge act of bravery or the ability to do
  something phenomenal. Its not just these little
  one time flashy shows. Its the effort of
  consistent dedication and work. Work ethic needs
  to drive you to greatness. When you want to do
  that for building an online business, its
  actually pretty simple.

9

• At Empower Network, we focus on getting two
  customers a day. Also, we attend all of the
  events.  Those are the simple things, but theyre
  easy to forget or neglect. Ive ignored some of
  these things myself early on because I took it
  for granted.
• Its all about consistent work ethic. Its easy
  to do, but its also easy not to do. Thats
  usually what our biggest fears or struggles are.
  We have a hard time being consistent in any
  avenue. Until we can really tap into our inner
  greatness and believe in the fact that we can do
  it, thats when all of the barriers break down.
  Things will start to magically come about.

10

• Sometimes you hear stories of one time success.
  But, if you ask them what they did on a daily
  basis, its structured on doing 3-4 habits
  consistently. Thats the difference between
  successful and unsuccessful people. Theyre
  willing to do it regardless of how they feel or
  act.
• Thats a personal struggle Im going through
  with diet and fitness. I can exercise 6 days a
  week, but I find it hard to eat healthy. Im
  working on it constantly because Im trying to
  remove temptations. My biggest one is junk food,
  chips. I can eat healthy for a couple of days,
  then one day out of the week I just binge eat.
  Thats definitely a problem for me. I started to
  see how eating affected my moods and
  productivity.

11

• We all have our personal struggles. The end
  result is that we have a goal to accomplish. Its
  not going to be easy, but you have to stay
  accountable. Make a video or a blog post to let
  the world know about what youre trying to do.
  That way you can stay consistent with your
  actions.
