Well, my summer did not quite follow the path I had set for it in my previous post. Vacations and work obligations made my Reliv regimen much more difficult than I had planned. I experienced a great deal of loss this summer, of people that should not have gone as quickly as they did. I was knocked down, I'll admit it. It's been taking me a while to get back up, and I'm still not completely back on every track I was trying to be on. I sometimes wonder how many tracks I can manage to keep myself on, simultaneously.
However, I am writing this post feeling rejuvenated, reinvigorated, and remotivated. A few days ago, I invited a friend of mine to a Wednesday night meeting (a Tuesday night meeting which is being held on Wednesdays for convenience's sake), and by the end of the evening, she became my first distributor in my company! This is the magic moment I've heard about so many times, and told people about, based on what I've heard from others: that moment where you just share what it is you're working on, invite someone to see what it is, and they get excited enough that they want to become a part of it. I can't even truly say that my intent was to make her a distributor when I first invited her.
It's not just me anymore. I have an organization, granted an organization of two. I've always had my upline, but as far as people who believe in me enough to become a part of what I'm working on, this is the first time. I leave every meeting feeling energized and excited about the company and the products but, so far, every time I go home and tell people about it just to hear them come back with negativity or cynicism, the more I try to invite people and they talk to me in a tone that shows me they truly don't believe I'll ever succeed, that energy gets zapped away. I wish it weren't the case, but it is. Now that someone believes in me, believes in these products, believes in this opportunity, I know that there must be more people. I'll hear a thousand no's, but in the end it's the 20 yesses that make it all worth it.
So I'm reinvigorated. And from here I'll be moving forward, picking up momentum and continuing to keep myself feeling like this. Wish me luck!
