Don't Be Afraid to Dance!


As a member of the Empower Network's "Inner Circle" I have access to some great audio training calls done by David Wood and David Sharpe leading up to the launch of the Empower Network.  There is so much information contained in each recording that every time I've listened to them I've been able to pull some more information out that is beneficial to my team and me.  To listen to David Wood and David Sharpe speak about their experiences can't help but motivate you, even if you are already doing well, to do even better.  The more you listen to them, the more you understand how much they truly want to help everyone be successful and why they created the Empower Network!  So what does that have to do with dancing?

Before I tell you, go to http://www.antoniomooreempowernet.com and join the Empower Network and answer the question of how 100% commissions can help you!

Now to continue, I was listening to a segment today (again) where David Sharpe discusses how over 99% of people are so self-absorbed that they can't see past themselves; but once they realize that "it's not all about them" their lives will change.  He proceeds to tell a story about how he used to go to this "dance club" and would put on a fresh outfit so that he could be cool, looking good and "comfortable" in his own skin.  However, he would stand around and watch people dance and even though he thought it "looked fun," he wouldn't go out on the dance floor.   Why? Fear.  He didn't want to be laughed at.  He was so self-absorbed that he thought everyone would be paying attention to him and laugh and reject him, so he stood on the sidelines.  At some point he figured out that a lot of other people were just as self-absorbed as him and were thinking the same thing!  He then had an "epiphany" and realized that it wasn't about him, which resulted in him being able to let loose, have fun, dance, and have a good time!  He was able to overcome the fear of rejection and no longer worried about what other people would think.

That fear of rejection is what plagues many people in the network marketing industry today.  David Sharpe finally took a "leap of faith" and went out on the dance floor.  He then took this same principle and applied it to all aspects of his life, including his business.  Having faith gave him confidence and relieved the anxiety he had of doing business presentations.  He took the risk and started doing webinars and conference calls and guess what?  People actually showed up and kept showing up!  He actually "bombed" his first few presentations, but was able to develop his skill of overcoming fear and started applying other information into his presentations to make them successful.

The moral of this story is "Don’t Be Afraid to Dance!"  Take the leap of faith and get out on the dance floor.  Nobody cares and if you do your thing, they may even just respect you for taking the risk.  Whatever your "dance floor" is, just go for it.  If you bomb or fail the first time, just keep at it and don't quit.  Success in your business takes staying in the game, having a vision, having a dream, and sticking to it!
