This picture was taken when Marsha (in black) got treated to dinner out for being a new distributor with the most appointments! Incentives are fun and everyone can look forward to a new one soon! Yeah Marsha!

Imagine yourself in the next recognition picture! I hope this entry helps you understand setbacks are a part of climbing to the top and that everyone will go through the ups and downs along the path!
"How you rebound from a setback speaks volumes about who you are"

This quote is from one my "coaching" books. for 4 years I let Shaklee "coast" and I did the work to become trained to be a personal and small business coach. One thing was always clear to me as I worked with clients. EVERYONE has obstacles and setbacks in ALL areas of life. That "is" life. Remember the game Candyland? How many times did you slide down the wrong "candy river" and have to climb back and get back on the path? The people I coached were of two types.

1. The first type of client recognized what "needed" to be done but never quite could "stick" to a strategy to change the behavior causing their "discomfort'. They always had "good" excuses, but had much difficulty achieving a short term goal.

2. The second type of client would identify a challenge and USE COACHING as an accountability tool to work through the challenges and move closer to the targeted outcome.

When you are building your business you will be faced with choices as "life" changes. Sometimes you will feel too overwhelmed to step back and refocus. Sometimes you will get so busy that you forget the "habits" that keep your business balanced and organized. Make sure you have an accountability partner. Most of the time it is your upline. When you fall off of your weekly mark, an emerging leader will stay determined and work on themselves and their attitude so the next week won't be the same.

One of the gifts of Shaklee is for you to "get to know" yourself better. Identify the things you love and those you'd like to change. When setbacks happen make sure you take time to breathe, refocus, strategize and share with your upline... then rebound and breakthrough! It is amazing what one simple success will do to get you back on track!

It is the weekend, do you have your plan for the week? Walk boldly towards your goals, one week, one day one appointment at a time.
