Excuse Makers

A Manager at one of my Sales jobs once said to us in a morning meeting:

“You can make excuses or money, but not both”

And that has stuck with me ever since. And I tell you…if there is one thing I cannot stand, it’s an excuse-maker. People are so ready to lay blame on to everything and everyone around them as to why they cannot succeed. I am now a Sales Manager at work and all I hear around me all day is excuses as to why people haven’t brought in a sale that day or why they are not on track to hit target. Here are a few of them:

• “My targets are too high”
• “I dont like where I am sitting”
• “No one is in today…all I am getting is voicemails” (this has to be one of my favourites! As if the whole world decided to take holiday together!)
• “The computers are running slow”
• “Everyone I have spoken to are happy with the service they are already using”

I mean, read some of these. They are rediculous!

When things get a little hard and you feel like you have hit a brick wall, it is so easy to say, “Well I tried but it didnt work”. And then stop. People are very quick to justify why they failed with an excuse. But is this going to get you the results you set out to achieve? No, of course not. One of the reasons only 3% of people in the MLM / Home Business world succeed is because almost everyone has more excuses than money.

I won’t lie. I was once a classic excuse maker myself when it came to my internet business. My main excuse was:

• I have a full time job and no time to work on my business

Others included:

• My sponsors / upline are always unavailable to help me
• No one wants to buy my products

But I soon cast my mind back to what that Manager has said to me. “You can make excuses or money, but not both.” I then realised that I was making excuses! Practically everyone who starts out with a home business has a full time job. If they can find the time, then I really cant use that as an excuse. I found a way to manage my day better and I now spend at least 30 minutes per day working on my business. I do it during lunchtimes, while my boyfriend is making dinner or when I get back from the gym. And I make it work for me. I am now a millions miles ahead of where I was this time last year.

So whatever excuses have been holding you back, dont let them hold you back anymore. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and TAKE CONTROL of your future. At the end of the day, we can carry on blaming other people and circumstances around us and let them stop us, or we can say to ourselves, “OK, this is the situation. What solution can I find to get around that”. Once you change this one thing in your mindset, you will see such a drastic improvement in your results!

If you feel that working with someone with my mindset can help you and if you would like more info on joining me in my team, you can find out more about me and my opportunity by heading to http://nataliebuhagiar.co.uk
