Gold Rush/Diamond Run Leadership

Lesson - 5
Hello MonaVie Leaders:


This is good stuff! How can you change your viewpoint in regards to your Prospect List?  Who are the people you have not called to share MonaVie with, based on FEAR! You are afraid they will say no, you are afraid they might think you are a crazy juice person, you are afraid ________(we all have a bunch of items we could put in the blank)... Fear & Faith cannot occupy the same space!!! Make that LIST, reread March 18 in the Connect with God Daily Devotional we are reading, THEN make those calls!!! Be so excited about MonaVie that everyone you talk to will start asking "What have they got that we don't?"


Look at it this way, before you call the person on your list, they are not in your business. The worst that can happen is they might say "no". Can you survive & overcome that? YES! What is the best that can happen? They say YES & you Sponsor them on a 12 case autoship!!! What is most likely to happen? They will be, or they will know someone open to the idea of better health & wealth, then you ITS them!


You can do it! How do I know? More people have said NO to me then all of you combined & I survived and made the rank of Black Diamond - so you can too!!! Please share your success stories with me!


This is going to be a GREAT MonaVie week!!!!

Lesson #5

Change Your Viewpoint



--Leaders change their viewpoints and assist others in doing so to reveal their blind spots



Ophthalmologists are eye doctors. They have a name for a blind spot on the eye: it's called a scotoma. If you have a scotoma, you can see all around something, but not where the blind spot is. So, if I am looking right at you, I might be able to see your whole face, except for your nose.



Now, I can either cure the blind spot or I can change my viewpoint. If I take two steps to the left, then I still have my scotoma or blind spot, but now, with this new viewpoint, I can see your whole face and your nose, too.



Many times we want a result badly, but we do not see achieving it as realistic. That's simply a blind spot we have.



You can shift a blind spot through brainstorming with other people where you are offered someone else's viewpoint. Blind spots can be healed by having a revelation, even an emotional experience that alters their viewpoint of reality.



The author who wrote the famous song, "Amazing Grace," had such a revelation. He was a 26-year-old slave trader on his way from Africa to the United States in the early 1800's. His ship ran into a deadly storm. He prayed to God for a miracle. The storm cleared and he and the ship were saved. He returned immediately to Africa and released all 120 slaves. He then went to England and became a leader of the abolitionist movement.



Many times the life experiences required to have a revelation are too expensive. That's why experiential learning in a good seminar or with a great coach can be so valuable. You can have the benefit of healing a scotoma and not pay anywhere near the cost that life often requires.



The Greek word "metanoia" means to change your viewpoint. The word "sin," in old English, was yelled by someone standing near an archery target to indicate you missed the bull's eye in the center. Feeling guilty is not the focus. If you missed the mark, change your viewpoint and you will hit the mark.



What can you do this week to change a viewpoint that is not giving and getting you the results you want?





TAKEAWAY!

If you're not achieving the results you want, you probably have blind spots that are obscuring your viewpoint. A deeply emotional experience can alter your viewpoint in an instant.





Action Step #1



Look at your personal or professional life and pick out a goal you are struggling to accomplish or any situation that isn't the way you want it to be.



Now, meet with two or three people from different professions than yours or who have vastly different interests or experiences. Brainstorm with them, asking what they would do if they were you? No reasons for why it can't be done are allowed. Your job is to listen. Let each person contribute ways to improve your result. It doesn't mean you have to do exactly what they say. Your goal is to change your viewpoint, so you don't sin and miss the target.



"The first thing to growth and change is to catch your-self being yourself."
