THE MINDSET OF A SUCCESSFUL NETWORK MARKETER - PERSEVERANCE - WITH RAVIN PAPIAH

Theme – PERSEVERANCE

Welcome to the NINTH week of Season 9 - Building YOU to BUILD your BUSINESS with Ravin Papiah

This week we are going to talk about PERSEVERANCE! You will want to listen to the next four episodes because ….as a Network Marketing Professional on your way to become a Network Marketing Superstar, you would want to know what makes a network marketer PERSEVERE in the face of obstacles and adversities and keeping their eyes fixed on their goals, so that they can achieve what they have determined to do and sustain their success over time while continuously getting to the NEXT levels.

Perseverance – Perseverance is the key to success. After thousands of efforts to make the electric light bulb, Thomas Edison said, “I haven’t failed, I’ve identified 10,000 ways that it doesn’t work.” Helen Keller, Abraham Lincoln, Marie Curie and an endless list of other great achievers found that success inevitably arrives for everyone who perseveres.

Acquiring a desired job or promotion or succeeding at business may present challenges, but this is part of the learning process. Ultimately, individuals who persist, become successful. They learn from mistakes.

Do you persevere? Or, after meeting rejection or difficulties, do you quit?

E33 Adversity is only temporary

In the midst of challenging times, we often think we’re going through the worst time ever. And when we’re in the middle of adversity, we think it never ends. That’s why we always say things like, “my life is over!”

No, you’re not dramatic. It’s just one of our thinking errors. It’s difficult for us to judge a crisis while we’re in it.

In hindsight, it’s much easier. We can look back and think, “I survived that. I will survive other difficult things in the future.”

But when we face illness, financial problems, or adversity in our relationships, we’re quick to think it’s THE END. And once we get stuck in a negative thinking pattern, we lose motivation.

And what happens when we lose motivation? Right, we give up
So how can we get over that? How can we stay motivated during tough times? After going through a lot of adversity (personally and professionally) myself, I’ve learned a few things about staying motivated.

I love what Darius Foroux shares:

1. Do something that makes you feel good

“Does online shopping count?” No, It does not.

You and I both know that buying things gives you temporary pleasure. That’s the last thing you need during adversity.

Because if you seek shallow pleasure, you’ll go 60 miles per hour on the Hedonic Treadmill. Your highs will be still high, but the lows will be devastating.

Instead, seek lasting pleasure. Don’t know what to do? Here are a few things I like:

• Organize an activity with friends/family that cheer you up (avoid negative people, even if they are your family)
• Spend a WHOLE day reading a good book
• Go for a long walk or run (more than 50 minutes)
• Hit the sauna
• Go to the pool—swim a bit and relax a bit
• Write about what you’ve learned
• Start learning a new skill

We need to boost your dopamine. To do that, we need to reward ourselves (again, don’t buy anything). Do something that makes you enjoy life. That’s my standard.
I aim for doing something that makes me say, “Man, I love life.”

E34 Addressing adversity

Ask for help

Look, seeking pleasure, no matter how profound, is only temporary. To go through adversity successfully, we all need a support system.

Don’t try to go through life alone. If you don’t have a support system, create one. Start with your family, if they are no good, seek friends who are in the same position as you are. Having a good spouse also matters.

But that’s not the only thing. If you’re struggling, seek help from your co-workers or boss. And don’t be afraid to get therapy.

Too often, people feel too proud to ask for support. I’ll tell you this: No one on earth is strong enough to go through all adversity alone. Sure, you might be strong enough to deal with the challenges of life. But there always comes a time when things become “too much.”

That’s when you need help. When that time comes: Ask.

Write down your biggest fear

“What’s the worst thing that can happen?”
It’s one of my favorite questions. I learned it years ago from Susan Jeffers’ classic book, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway!

When times are difficult, ask yourself that question

• Did your company go bust?
• Did you lose your job?
• Did you get a divorce?
• Did you make a bad decision?

Well, what’s the worst thing that can happen? Will those things kill you? Probably not.

This exercise makes us aware of how irrational and fearful we are. Simply ask the question and spend some time meditating on it.

I prefer to write in my journal because writing is thinking.  And when you do both things, you become wiser and stronger.

Create a plan

My second favorite question when dealing with adversity is this: What are you going to do about it?

Sitting at home and feeling sorry for yourself is not going to help. We know that. But why do we still feel helpless? Because we’ve trained to become passive. 

But in recent years, I’ve learned to adopt an active mindset. When I lose motivation, I either come up with a list of things I want to do or set some new goals for myself. And then, I start working on it.

When you create a plan, you’re by definition looking at the future. And when we imagine a better future, we start feeling better.
And even if you don’t lack motivation, it’s good to look at your goals regularly. Keep reminding yourself of where you’re going and more importantly, WHY you’re going there. That will motivate you like nothing else.

Set your sight towards the future, and don’t stop until you’re dead.
That might be sooner than you think.

So don’t forget to enjoy the process of getting there (which is the ultimate prize).

I can help you to have massive success in your life, both personal and professional. IF you are willing to join my coaching, whether group coaching or one on one coaching, please e-mail me at ravinpapiahleadership@gmail.com, or watsapp me on +23052507999

E35 Adversity as your ally

"I'd like for you to think of adversity as simply stepping-stones to live the life of your dreams," asserts Coach Michael Taylor, the author of Adversity is Your Greatest Ally. "They are neither good nor bad, until you choose to label them as such."

His book is based on his life experiences of overcoming being born in the inner city projects of Corpus Christi, Texas to a single mother with six kids who were the poster children for poverty back in the Sixties. It is also based on his ability to overcome being a child-abuse victim and a high school dropout who refused to succumb to a life of mediocrity, who was able to climb the corporate ladder, and become a mid-level manager for a multi-million dollar company at the tender age of 22. But it is also based on his ability to overcome divorce, bankruptcy, foreclosure, and a deep state of depression in which he even contemplated taking his own life.

Now 56, the middle-aged Taylor feels more like a teenager. He lives with a certain vulnerability and authenticity that inspires those he comes in contact with.

"Rest assured that you have everything you need right now to overcome any adversity placed in front of you," asserts Coach Taylor, now a highly successful businessman. "The two questions you must now ask yourself are, 'What do I want?' and 'What am I willing to do to get it?' When you can sufficiently answer these two questions you are ready to begin moving towards your destiny. The problem is, very few people can answer these two simple questions."

His mantra is very empowering:

• Every human being has the capacity to overcome adversity in their lives. 
• Every adversity in our lives has a lesson and a gift that can guide us to a life of joy.
• Every human being is endowed with unique gifts and talents that are to be shared with the world to make it a better place.

"Every motivational speaker or spiritual teacher has the same message," concludes Coach Taylor. "There is a part of us that is divine and connected to a power greater than ourselves. What makes my story unique are the adversities I've overcome to rebuild my life and how I share that story with others."

I can help you build the correct mindset for massive success in your life, both personal and professional. IF you are willing to join my coaching, whether group coaching or one on one coaching, please e-mail me at ravinpapiahleadership@gmail.com, or watsapp me on +23052507999

E36 – Loving Adversity – the secret to success

Whether you find obstacles in your career, studies, or personal life, adversity has the potential to be a powerful catalyst:  it can make you strong or render you helpless.  Ultimately, your approach to facing adversity, and your response to unexpected outcomes, is a deciding factor in whether adversity will propel you forward or stop you in your tracks.

Natalie Rabson, counsellor at Boston City Campus, says:
“No one escapes difficulties.  Setbacks may have the power to temporarily derail your journey, the aim at Boston is to get people to see them rather as gifts in the form of a learning experience. This gives our learners the opportunity to create empowering beliefs and recommit with greater determination in order to achieve their goals,”
Natalie shares 5 key strategies to leverage the power of adversity for your greatest success.

1. Loving the negative association
“Everything worthwhile in life is won through surmounting the associated negative experience,” says author Mark Manson.
While it is easy to fall in love with our end goal, we need to travel the journey to reach it. And the journey may have bumps, hardships, even failure. It is unrealistic to think that there’s a direct path to getting to that destination of success.
“From the outset, we have to know that there will be hard moments, difficult exams, and problems.  Focussing on one step at a time, for example, one module at a time, enables you to manage each challenge instead of feeling overwhelmed by the big picture,” says Natalie.

2. The Obstacle is the Way
While obstacles may appear threatening, they can also be the very thing that catalyse our growth.  The pandemic has been a huge obstacle, but some have turned it into a lucrative opportunity. Others have changed the direction of their business 180 degrees. Hotels in Cape Town were offering drop off laundry services, catering, and work stations for daily rental.  Choosing to see each outcome or event as an opportunity to learn and develop further, makes you a stronger person.

3. Power of Inversion
Inversion is a practice of thinking the opposite of what you want.  It may go against common sense but highlighting mistakes and issues you want to avoid bring inciteful wisdom into what not to do along the way. Seeing this another way, imagine the worst that could happen, then go for it. You’ve already faced the obstacle in your mind, and if failure happens, it won’t come as a shock and it won’t feel so bad.

4. Learn to love the “Nos”
“You can achieve virtually anything you want–if you’re willing to hear ‘no’ often enough,” says Andrea Waltz, co-author of Go for No! While it is human nature to want to avoid the rejection associated with “No”, the fact is that hearing a ‘no’, brings you closer to getting your yes – be it for the job, the relationship, or the life you want to have. No’s should hopefully motivate you to work harder and achieve more.

5. Take action
Former Canadian professional ice hockey player, Wayne Gretsky said, “You always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
Forget about telling yourself all the reasons why adversity is holding you back from going for that job, that relationship, or that degree; if you don’t try push past the setback you will never know what’s possible.  And even if Plan A doesn’t work out, you will probably learn how to do it better and apply it to Plan B, C, D ….continuing to take action down the line until you achieve what you want.
“Encountering adversity may be inevitable, so you need to choose how it will dictate your actions”, says Natalie.  “Expect adversity, use it to alter your course or behaviour, and continue towards your goals”.

BSc (Hons), PG DipMktg, PG Dip T& PM

Ravin Souvendra Papiah started his life by being doomed by doctors of an early childhood death. Being born as a very weak child played into his favour whereby he was introduced to reading by a teacher while his friends were enjoying their recreational time outside the class, playing. He has defied the doctors and today, he stands as a father, reader, trainer, coach, public speaker, writer, radio host and Influencer.

He discovered that his purpose is to help others grow to their optimum self. Being an avid fan of personal growth and reading, he believes that it can transform a person and consequently, his life, thus he encourages others to do the same. He insists that every person has the potential to become whom they want to become. The first step is to have faith in themselves and becoming more conscious of who they are now and who they can become. “When you are NOT aware, you are NOWHERE” has become the emblem of Ravin Papiah.

Ravin Papiah is grateful to each and every person who believed in him and who supported him by learning from him and growing themselves towards their greatest potential. Together with his new team of Influencers, he is aiming to lead the world to becoming a better place. They are starting at the source - with the children. They are providing free training to youth organisations, NGOs and schools, colleges and Universities to start the emergence of a new generation of Mauritians with an abundance mindset. That does not mean that it’s too late for the elders. He believes that age is not a factor that would stop you from doing what you want. You just have to be open to it!
