I want to become a Diamond, but I feel afraid ...

A few minutes ago I received an email from a Vitamark affiliate that went something like this:

"I really, really want to become a Diamond, but I feel afraid to do what I need to do. And, I don't know how."


Here was my answer:


Hi,,

You are right.

We all WANT to become a Diamond.

But, how much do we want to become a Diamond is the question.

You see, to become a Diamond, you will have to make some changes in your life, learn some new things, and set aside some time that you are currently using for television, friends, etc.

And the commitment to change, learn new things, and investing time ... that might be too much.

You might think this:

I don't want to change, I don't want to learn new things, I don't want to miss my favorite television show ... so, I will stay with my life the way it is now.

Now, this is a decision we all have to make every day of our lives. What do we want? And do we want it bad enough that we are willing to make changes, learn new things, and invest some time.

For example, I really, really want to be thin and in shape.

But how much do I want to be thin and in good shape? Well, I would have to make some changes in my eating habits, eat different foods, and spend some time each day exercising.

So here is the decision I made.

I continue to eat Mexican food. I like the taste of Mexican food MORE than I like to be thin. And I don't want to set aside time to exercise.

And that was my choice.

So your choice is totally up to you.

And there is no right answer.

And there is nothing wrong with saying, "You know what? I would rather not change, not learn new things, and not invest time to become a Diamond. It's not worth it to me at this moment."

Hey, I chose to remain fat :)

I just want you to know that you have a choice.

You can become a Diamond. You can do it if you WANT to.

So what's going to be easier for you?

To continue your life as it is. Continue with the same job. Continue with the same paycheck. Continue with the same lifestyle. Don't make any changes, don't learn any new things, and continue spending time as you always have ...

or ...

To join a Diamond Coaching Class, learn new skills, make some changes in your life, and spend some time building your Vitamark business to become a Diamond?

How does the saying go? "If we want to make more, we have to be more."

The good news is that we don't have to do it all at once. We can apply the Slight Edge.
