Apply this post to the idea of approaching for the business...and also anywhere else in your life!
G. K. Chesterton said: "I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act." Put in laymen's terms: Don't act in life and you are fated to getting nowhere...act, and anything is possible.
What path do you want to live? The path to nowhere or the path to unlimited possibilities? If you want possibilities, then you have to be willing to risk. The irony of people fearing risk is that there is risk all the time whether it is purposeful or not. For example: Is riding in a car risky? 20% of all fatal accidents are in an automobile. Is staying home risky? 17% of all accidents happen at home.
Helen Keller said: "Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men, as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." I have this quote written on an index card that is in my bible. I have read this quote almost every day for over 15 years.
Any goal in life will have risks. You've heard it said "No risk, no reward." So so true. Amelia Earhart had a great perspective on this: "Decide whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved. If it is, stop worrying."
John Maxwell breaks people down into 2 categories: Don't dare try it people and Don't dare miss it people. The "Don't dare try it people" have the motto: I would rather try nothing great and succeed than try something great and risk failure." The "Don't dare miss it people" have this motto: I would rather try something great and fail than to try nothing great and succeed.
Guess which one of these people achieve goals of value? Which one would you rather be?
What is the risk of approaching someone about the business? Not much. What is the risk of NOT approaching someone? Everything.

Creating a home-based income stream for life
Create the Quality of life you want
Welcome! My name is Todd Burrier. Over two decades ago I was blessed to have been laid off in the banking industry during a time of economic upheaval. This led me to search for a way to have more control over my own future. I wound up in the home business world. After seven hard years of lessons and personal growth, I found a way to build a highly successful business from home, using some very basic and simple human principles. I have since been able to mentor many people on the path to a better life through creating a home based income stream. This blog is dedicated to helping anyone in a networking style business succeed. I will be sharing proven concepts for growing and leading a successful business. Anyone who is nice, honest, and committed to succeeding can do what I teach. If there are any topics you specifically would like me to address as we go along, just let me know. To comment on any posting mouse over next to the time of the post.
