Hi savvy leaders. Welcome to episode 87.
Are you feeling discouraged? Today’s message is for those times when you’re feeling discouraged.
I know from personal experience that feelings of discouragement can be isolating. When I feel discouraged it feels like I’m the only person on the planet that’s feeling that way. Can you relate?
It feels like everyone I see and hear is joyful, and lighthearted and everything in their life is effortless. Everything is going their way. Do you feel that way too?
Well, certainly this can’t be the truth. So if you’re feeling discouraged know that I was too. You’re not the only one.
Feeling Discouraged In Direct Sales Can Be Temporary
The other thing I know about feeling discouraged is that it’s temporary. Even though it never feels temporary in the moment. Right?
But it never lasts. I get through it.
In the past, I have given myself time to feel discouraged. I just sat with it. And it’s not easy. It’s difficult. Because I’m fairly intrinsically motivated. I’m determined and eager and I love what I do.
But recently I didn’t feel like I had time for that. I needed to and wanted to just get past it.
How To Move Past Discouragement In Your Direct Sales Business
So what I most recently did to push through my discouragement is I asked for help. GAHHHH! It was not easy.
I don’t like asking for help. Especially in areas like this. It wasn’t easy. Because I’m also quite independent and self-reliant.
But I reached out to a friend and I simply shared. I’m feeling really discouraged. I need a pep talk and a cheerleader. Even if you don’t believe I’ll accomplish what I set out to I need you to tell me it’s possible.
Of course, she believes in me.
And so I sat back and listened to her shower me with uplifting praise and belief and encouragement.
It made all the difference.
It truly was what I needed to create a shift in my energy and push through my discouragement.
So I’m here today to pay it forward.
And I know, you would do this in a heartbeat for your friends. And you have!
I’m here to give you a pep talk and be your cheerleader. Because you’ve been there for others. Countless times. Especially for your team.
So sit back.
Close your eyes if you’re not driving. Just hear me.
