In the last “Oliver’s Twist On Selling” I wrote about having a 24 Hour “Maybe Day” and eliminating your “Maybe List” of potential partners or customers. These are people you might have allowed to hang around, clutter up your mind and slow you down like a dragging anchor. I left it with the hanging question, what’s the worst that could happen?

The worst thing, according to some distributors, is that at the end of the day no one joined.

Well, the objective IS to eliminate your Maybe List… whether anyone joined you or not!

It’s all down to Qualifying. You’re looking for people who are looking to change and at the same time are prepared to help themselves. In that context, you’re looking for Yes’s and No’s. If you get all No’s, perfect… time to move on.

Instead of thinking of it as a loss, what if you viewed it from the point of view of a new beginning? What if you made the resolution of never having another Maybe List again? Not only that, what if you replaced it with an  “ACTION STEPS” List… And the only people you allowed yourself to put on that list were potential partners who committed to take an action step forward each time you spoke with them? Action steps toward making the final committed – Yes or No.

With the minds of millions being opened to the fact that there is no safety in working for someone else after seeing an economy torn to shreds with mismanagement and self-serving interests, this is no time to hang on to Maybe’s. There are more people than you can handle in a lifetime who are seeking your help to find the same thing as you – personal and financial freedom. It’s time to change

To help you move forward, consider my latest program called “How To Have Fearless Conversations…“. It will give you the basics of everything you need to know to have effective and comfortable conversations without rejection.

Big question. Are YOU committed to change yourself and let go of what isn’t working for you?

In the words of Gensha;

If you understand… things are as they are.
If you do not understand… things are as they are
