contract. I think a huge part of that is they know the human psyche so well. We start something,

it lasts for a week or two, and then we kind of fall off the band wagon. And, so, they

have gyms, beautiful gyms that are not overcrowded even though they continue to sell memberships

daily, because the majority of people who have memberships in that club might go a couple

times a year. New Years resolutions, the same thing, we make new years resolutions, we fall

off after a week or two, and then it gets to the point where we no longer even bother

making them. And yesterday I was thinking about focus. I was at a networking event where

a friend of mine was talking about systems and about routines or ways of being, habits,

that certain people have. He said, 'the people who are very successful in life generally

have some kind of system, or some form of habits that they do on a daily, very regular

basis that makes them successful in that area.' Another thing that he mentioned was that,

'although they're very successful in some areas, they can be totally unsuccessful in

others,' and if we could translate those areas in our life where we do see success and set

up routines or systems, in other areas where we need help, that generally we could create

the same type of thing. It really got me to thinking because I know that in a lot of cases

with my home business, because you are not employed by someone, it is so easy to be sidetracked.

That is probably one of the biggest downfalls, I think in any home business because, women

especially, because we work out of our home, we cook, we do the cleaning, in most cases,

and if we walk past something that needs to be done, it's very hard to not be distracted.

In a lot of cases, I hope that this doesn't sound sexist, but men, if they see laundry,

they don't necessarily think 'oh my god, I’ve got to go do that' and run down and throw

it in and distract themselves, even if they have a home office. At least that has been

my experience and that has been what men have shared with me in the past. They don't have

the same draw that women do. So how do you create the focus? How do you create something

for yourself that allows you to stay so focused, laser-like, that you achieve the goals that

you want? They do say that it's 2% or 3% of the people who really rise to the top in an

industry. You listen to Tony Robins or different people like that and they talk about modeling

successful people. So it's exactly what my friend was saying at the networking event

the other day, success leaves clues! If you follow the patterns or the routines daily,

and it becomes a habit, to where it's, you don't even think about doing it, you don't

get sidetracked, you don't get pulled off base, and you tend to achieve things more

efficiently. The interesting thing is that, people who are very successful, sometimes

you go 'oh my gosh they're an overnight success,' but what you don't see is the years of work

leading up to it, where maybe they didn't have the name or the notoriety at that point,

right? So, my thought on, on success and achieving in a home business has more to do with what

we do on a daily basis. And I'll leave you with one thought, Tammy Crayk who is a national

sales director in Mary Kay says, 'your success lies hidden in your daily routine.' That says

it all. Is what you're doing today, going to contribute to success? So, remember Your

Success Lies Hidden in Your Daily Routine. Have a great day.
