Hello Ed and Shelly, thanks again for the info on this wonderful blog. I was talking to a friend yesterday and this just came out, Monavie is a 1/4 work and 3/4 tough skin. Remember in 1st grade when someone said "sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me" Why have most people lost that immediate reaction, heck and their dreams for that matter. So...if you have 4 people doin 1/4 work you get 100% done hmmmm. So the thicker skin you get in Monavie, and an attached WHY, I think it might be a little easier for people when they get their first "NO" and click off. Thicken up and make those dream boards!!!!

And remember "SW,SW,SW,MO"
Some will, Some won't, So what, MOVE ON....The moving on is the most important one, hence thicker skin...Thought I shoud get that out.

Hey Kevin! You are so on! It all starts with your WHY! If your Dream is really BIG - you will not let a few nay sayers stop you! If you build your list to 100 - 200 people, then if the first 7 say NO - then your OK, (you are getting better with practice too) cause you are closer to a YES & you have 95+ more people to contact! I like to say - Some WILL, some won't, so what, someone who will is waiting!!!! If someone says no, I say NEXT!! There are tons of people out there, more people I dont' know than I know!!! Looking forward to seeing all my VA friends next week! Love you!

Kevin and Shelly, nice post. Now my take....

I like to suggest to people when they get into MonaVie, or any network, that the first thing they need to do is work on personal improvement. You need to become the leader you are looking to attract to your business. We often say, read, listen and participate. When you do, you grow personally and you grow in your knowledge of how and who people are. People will always be people. So....when you hear a "NO" understand that it typically is not personal. The "NO" is based upon who that person is because of past experiences and circumstances that have shaped and are currently shaping their lives. So....no matter what you said that day, the answer from that person would likely have been "NO". Furthermore, that person is making a decision on what they perceive the truth to be vs. what is actually THE TRUTH. Again, that's just what people DO!!! Its just the way things are!!!! As Jim Rohn says, don't try to figure it out; in other words, "just don't sign up for that class". You'll drive yourself nuts. Hence needing the "Thick Skin" to just move on and not dwell on "figuring" it out or taking it personally that they were rejected. If any time is spent on this, just figure out what you could do better next time and take it as a learning experience! To get better you have to practice and you have got to experience failure. As they say, you learn more from losing then you do from winning!.

Great post on personal growth. I believe if we could only remember how we learned how to ride our bikes and applied that to our lives we would grow our network tenfold. A childlike faith is so powerful, they don't quit trying but press on to ride that bike.
