When I started this business I sought to be mentored by a person who was making mid six figures per month.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning I did <em>EVERYTHING<\/em> I was told to do \u2013 <em>without question<\/em> &#8211; and my business grew so fast I decided to put my practices up for sale.<\/p>\n<p>Once they were sold, I started to question my decision. I also began to question EVERYTHING. I began to think \u2013 I \u201cNEED\u201d to know <em>everything about everything<\/em>. I began to question the product ingredients, the science, the company, the business strategy, the techniques, the scripts, the emails, my mentors and mySelf.<\/p>\n<p>I called my coaches everyday, probably a hundred times per day. (OK maybe not a hundred\u2026at least several). I went to their homes and sat next to them for hours and hours and hours \u2013 watching, listening, learning \u2013 and rarely<em> applying. <\/em>I was the dreaded \u201cAsk-Hole\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>Finally, judgement day came.

For every 10 people you talk to \u2013 we\u2019ll answer one question. Is that fair?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My answer a meek, weak &#8211; Uh &#8211; Yes.<\/p>\n<p>They continued on; <em>Because we learn this business by DOING this business. Learning this business is like learning to swim, dance, ride a bike, or drive a car \u2013 you don\u2019t read a bunch of books to learn those things. You learn because of your WHY. You learn to swim so you can breath and live, you learn to dance so you can get the guy\/girl, you learn to ride a bike or drive a car for the FREEDOM.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once I returned to DOING what my mentors told me to DO \u2013 even though it wasn\u2019t \u201ccomfortable\u201d my business began to grow.<\/p>\n<p>More on \u201ccomfortable\u201d tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/LivingWithIntention.Net\">Live with Intention<\/a>,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Dr Bill<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember, the fastest way to learn something new is to find a person who has already accomplished what you\u2019re seeking to accomplish.
