Conquering the Big “D”

We’ve already talked about how important it is to have a great attitude in this business! It will either make you or break you. So what happens when you get depressed? Depressed? Surely we’re not serious. Yep. We are. If you are a human being, with human emotions and feelings, there are times in this business when you are going to get depressed; when you are going to wonder if you’re out of your mind for trying to build a MY POWER MALL business; when you are quite sure you can’t take one more person saying no, or not taking you seriously. You get depressed. You’re ready to throw in the towel.
Here’s the first thing you need to know – EVERYONE feels that way at some point in time. It’s just a reality of being a human being trying to do something that is challenging. No matter how hard we work at adopting the Law of Attraction, we’re going to have a few days where we don’t do very well. Here’s the problem. If you just work at McDonalds you can still flip hamburgers even if you’re depressed. I mean, no one cares if you’re cheerful – they just want you to cook a good hamburger for them. But success in MPM depends on one factor perhaps more than any other – a positive, uplifting personality and demonstrable enthusiasm and exuberance. So what do you do if your enthusiasm resembles the final dregs in your coffee cup?
Let’s take an honest look at this thing. Maybe you are trying to give away Power Malls and receiving a series of rejections. Or you are sending E-cards and emails but not having anyone respond. If they are strangers, that’s one thing. But maybe they are your friends and family. That’s even harder to take! Or maybe you’ve signed some people up and they are still perched on the fence post like a sitting duck, instead of out there building their business the way you are. You know what? It’s inevitable. All of that is going to happen at some point in your business. Accept it. It makes it a lot easier when it happens. There is nothing wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with MPM. You are no different from a waitress offering coffee in a coffee shop. Some people just don’t care for any. You are merely sifting for those for whom the time is right. You don’t get depressed because all these things are happening. You get depressed if you choose to dwell on these factors and take them personally.
So what should you do first? Call someone who is also building a MPM business! Anytime you are grappling with concern, fear, or depression please give someone a call! We have been all the places you are going to be. We have felt all the things you are going to feel. We have fought depression and wanting to quit. Talk to us!
Now, we're talking about depression because it is a reality – but the bigger reality is that you are going to have so much FUN working your business. You are going to achieve financial freedom and build incredible relationships with people in your organization all over the country!
Do you want to know the best way to deal with Business Building Depression? ACTIVITY! Yes, we know you may not feel like it at the time. That’s the time to decide to do it anyway!! You are a very capable adult who has committed to building a business. That means sometimes you push beyond your feelings and do things anyway! Let us show you how it works. You’re feeling a little depressed, so you only talk to a couple people this week. Both of them say no. Ouch! Now you’re even more depressed! But what if you decide to talk to at least 20 people this week, or send out 50 E-cards? 60 of the 70 blow you off (I don’t think the # will ever be that high!), but 10 become MPM Members. Now – are you much caring about the 60 who blew you off? NO! You’re too excited about your 10 brand new business partners. ACTIVITY HAS CURED YOUR DEPRESSION!
Depression can’t withstand persistence. Depression will fall to consistent activity. Depression will bow its knee to the determination to NEVER QUIT!!
When you start to feel depressed….
Vow to increase your activity, then DO IT!

Find the greatest motivational book or tape you can and immerse yourself in it.
