Do you remember when you were a child and wanted something so bad that you would do anything to get it? As an adult, is there something you want so bad you are willing to do just about anything to achieve it? We are told as network marketers that you should visualize your dreams and live as those your dreams have come true. How do you do that?
Write down short term goals, and write down long term goals, and set out a plan on how you are going to achieve those goals. Anything worth having is worth working for, and when you finally achieve what you want, you will feel like you have accomplished what you set out to do. Boy does that ever feel good.

In the book, "Emotional Intelligence," there is a graphic example of the power of emotions over logic that has made a huge impact on me, and it is at the heart of what it takes to succeed in business.
The story is told of a parent who, being unable to swim, witnesses their child fighting for their life out in the middle of a body of water. Under normal circumstances, this parent would not enter any large bodies of water because of the fear of drowning; but the stakes have been raised.
Their child's life is on the line, and the fear of their own demise takes a back seat to that of their child, and they plunge into the water. Clearly this is an illogical decision, but you have to grasp the point of the story:
That parent was EMOTIONALLY MOTIVATED to do something that they otherwise would NEVER do.
My question to you today is what is it that you want to accomplish so badly that you would be willing to sacrifice your life to get? I'm not talking about your life in a literal sense, but I'm talking about that thing that motivates you so much that it moves you to tears, or makes you feel like your life would have been a waste if you were unable to accomplish it.
When I look into the eyes of someone who says that they can't accomplish something because of time, money, resources, age, gender, race, skills, etc., I know I'm looking at someone who has yet to find that place of passion on the inside. Whatever they're trying to accomplish has taken residence in their HEAD and not in their HEART. Until they can make that "relocation" they will never accomplish the greatness that resides in them.
Is your dream in your head, or in your heart? To succeed at a high level, you have to be sold out from the heart out. There is no other way.
Let me share a quote that embodies the point I'm trying to make, and hopefully if you're struggling to find your passion you will stop and take a quiet moment to identify exactly why you're doing what you're doing. If it's for money, houses, cars, vacations, prestige, and all the trappings of this world, then I hate to disappoint you, but you haven't really found your passion. These things are worth having, but when it gets hard and you don't know if you're going to make it, these things will NOT move you to continue. It's not until you can identify that core purpose that you will truly do whatever it takes.
As you read this quote, think about your reason/purpose for building your business and ask yourself if you feel this way about it. Les Brown said it this way about your dream:
"If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace, and your sleep for it. If all that you dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and worthless without it. If you'll gladly sweat for it, and fret for it, and plan for it, and lose all your terror of the opposition for it. If you'll simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity; faith, hope, confidence, and stern pertinacity. If neither cold, poverty, famine or gaunt, sickness and pain; a body or brain can't keep away from that thing that you want. If in darkness and grim you beseech and beset it, with the help of God, you'll get it."
If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count!
