I heard this at my Weight Watchers meeting last night and wanted to share. I felt like it actually applied more to my PC business than Weight Watchers.

Life is a Cafeteria
You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success, but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.


I think I will get on the phone tonight! :)
 
Thanks for sharing that Jennifer. I agree with that. While I'm not a "sales type" of person, my motto is, "If it's meant to be then its up to me!"
 
That's such a great analogy! It's so true that in both weight loss and business, you have to be proactive and take action to see results. Waiting for success to come to you rarely works out. I'm glad you were able to find a way to apply it to your PC business. Good luck with your phone calls tonight!
