New Zealand & Overcoming Fear

My son Max taught me to overcome 2 of my fears:

It started with his challenge to jump off the highest Bungy jump he could find in New Zealand…

The adventure started by driving up the side of a mountain on a gravel track carved in the side of it in a 10 wheel all terrain vehicle.

When we got to the top we climbed into a cable car that ran along a wire suspended between the mountain peak we were at the top of and the neighboring one, and it rolled us out to the middle of the cable until we reached a gondola suspended high above the valley floor.

I am claustrophobic & scared of heights, and when I was strapped in and standing on a plank hanging outside this gondola suspended between the two mountain peaks, experiencing extreme vertigo, I can assure you that the thought of swan-diving off that plank was the most terrifying thing I can remember in a long time.

It was a new experience and not “natural” for me (since I don’t have wings) and I wanted to run back to safety in case I did not “make it”.

But the toughest part was MAKING the DECISION to try – once I leaped, the feeling of freedom and the sense of accomplishment was the best thing in the world !

I believe it is the same with every new thing you attempt in your life or your business.

The fear you have to face BEFORE you even try is what stops so many people from experiencing , conquering and succeeding at new things..

But if you are willing to Step Out of the Ordinary and TRY…

• Try to do a Vacation Party
• Try to do a one-on-one presentation
• Try to recruit a new team member
• Try to sell a membership
• Try to give away a Guest Membership
• Try to help your new team member waive their overhead
• Try to reach the next level

Then at least you have tried, and even if you don’t succeed the first time, you get to give it another shot !

I truly hope you Try something new this week to improve your business !
