MKMMA WEEK 11- Staring me right in the face!
It is unfortunate on my part that I did not do it earlier. I had all the material right in my lap. Why didn’t I see what I had was what I needed. Oh sure I started out with good intentions then laziness took over or uncertainty of the material or of me. It is all me… it is me who take the first step to get help, but it was me who stopped myself from going farther with it.
Many, many times my business partner told me to write things down, place it where I see it every day. Write out what you want; write what I needed to do to get it done. Stop that way of think…Read OG Mandino, read Think and Grow Rich, Go to Xanchise (these are great slide presentation) and watch the videos that MARK J put out… WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG to finally listen?
A lot of what Mark and Davene have been doing in the MKMMA Course is things that I already knew of…by then did not do it. Instead I went from one thing to another paid another to teach me the things I had all alone that is what I needed. The other courses I took I did get a bit out of it but nothing like what I’m getting from MKMMA.
I cannot answer my own questions on to why I did not use the material I had before Mark and Davene MKMMA course. Was it I needed someone to be accountable too? Was it because I could not count on myself alone to make sure I did what was required? Was it that Mark and Davene MKMMA course break it down and explain everything step by step that finally made me do it?
What I do believe Mark and Davene has combined all the different material and broke it down into reasonable understanding into the best course, I have ever seen, than again is it that I am finally ready.
I have to face fact that I am the REASON I am not where I want to be.
Am I willing to stay the course to get what my burning desire is? What is my Burning desire? What is My OATS, DMP, PPNs? Did I truly write out what these are? From what I have been learning I am missing something and it is hidden somewhere in these 4 habits.
HABIT 1
A DEFINITE PURPOSE BACKED BY BURNING DESIRE FOR ITS FULFILLMENT
HABIT 2
A DEFINITE PLAN, EXPRESSED IN CONTINUOUS ACTION.
HABIT 3
A MIND CLOSED TIGHTLY AGAINST ALL NEGATIVE AND DISCOURAGING INFLUENCES, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends, and acquaintances.
HABIT 4.
A FRIENDLY ALLIANCE WITH ONE OR MORE PERSONS WHO WILL ENCOURAGE ONE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH BOTH PLAN AND PURPOSE
Once I mastered these habits, I will truly be successful!
I have come a long way my business partner points out to me every time I talk to him. He reminds me of the angry person that was inside me (that is still showing up now and then). He points out that I am listening better, that the tone in my voice is soft and caring, that I have not said to him what the *#@^ is wrong with me. He points out many things that has changed during this 11 week course I have been taking. Unfortunately its not moving as fast as I wanted it too. He then reminds me to stay true to myself and everything will work out.
The truth hurts…I started out on this course enjoying everything I was learning. I was following the rules. Then things started to get harder to do, to break the habits. I was not going to quit. I have been doing the things asked of me, but I have not been doing it with true emotions. I just get the reading done and out of the way… I am no longer sitting the 50 minutes I started out doing, only 15 min and I was not really concentrating on what I was really suppose to be doing. I am just doing the work but not caring about what I am doing.
I asked for help from one of our MKMMA team members for she has been doing really well and so as many others taking this course. Doing well in my eyes is growing my business, helping people to start this business.
As my business partner keeps pointing out you have come a long way, I can see improvement.
So again, it is I, who is keeping me from where I wanted to be by now. I must be accountable to me, faithful, show enthusiasm and with burning desire. I must allow myself to change my bad habits and learn the 4 habits that this class requires of me. Then and only then can I be the success I wanted from the first day.
Countless times Mark has said you have to be true to yourself. The truth is I was thinking about quitting the course. I was thinking in the past 3 weeks, I could do this; I do not need to be on the call for an hour and half to do my business I just need to do it… Then I tell myself so why haven’t you done your business before now if you can do it on your own. You keep telling yourself you just have to find the way… WELL HELLO WAKE UP WOMAN!
So I’m starting over with myself being truthful, going to rewrite my DMP for I found out my sons told me they wouldn’t want to live that close to me in 10 years, they will already have a home by then. I am going to read my material with enthusiasm, belief and burning desire. I am going to sit 30 minutes, and go back to doing my exercising in my morning routine. I am going to be accountable to myself. Another thing Mark points out… If you do not have time now when would your have time to do it again. So I slipped a little and I am now facing fact I need to wake up and get out of this course what it has done for many others, SUCCESS.
I did not hurt anyone else but myself, lied to myself that I did not need this course to change myself into a better person, a better successful businessperson.
MKMMA course is there for those who are willing to stay the course no matter how hard it gets, TO BE TRUTHFUL TO YOURSELF!
Wanda, this is one of the most heartfelt, self examinations I’ve read so far! You have come so far…..your writing shows your growth. Go back and re-read some of your earlier blogs…..It’s amazing! Hang in there…..like scroll III says, that mighty oak will fall, you just have to keep chipping away at it. I’m honored to be on this journey with you!
Wow, Wanda, what an honest self evaluation. So how do you feel now that you put it on paper and out on the web for the Team & others to see?
It seems for me things shift even faster after I’ve re-evaluated my life.
Sounds like you have so me good support. Keep listening to them as they remind you
of how far you’ve come. So happy to hear you are going to continue the course. I’d say that’s a Winning Move.
I read the 4 habits yesterday and felt I could only score about 16 out of 25. I too will be working with my Team to put those habits into practice.
Keep Growing & Sharing. “You Can Be What You Will to Be” We just all need to know what we really want.

Darlene,
I guess a little relieved, to face the fact to be true to myself. If what I said can help others than it worth letting the world know everyone have pitfalls. I nearly deleted half of it but something inside me told me to keep it in.
Thanks for your kind words, and asking me how I felt about it for I really didn’t think about it after I posted it. To realize now that you asked this question the tension I had is gone. So thanks!
So happy to get your comment Wanda and know you realize the tension is gone. It will move you forward even faster.
I’d write that down as a huge break through. Read it everyday as you read the service card. You did yourself a Great Service.
I think being able to share with the Team is one of the most powerful action for personal development in this course.
Knowing there are others willing to face the challenges of life even though they may be different then our own encourages us to keep going as well.
Keep Growing & Sharing. It Empowers Others.
