Take 1: My Personal Success Story
I'm envisioning this is what I may just say on saturday's WeShare rally, to a crowd of a few hundred people:
Hi, my name is Kelly, and I have been involved in Unicity for 2 years now.
Some of you have come to know me as a confident, driven young man. Yet did you know I started off as an introvert?
At the point when I started out in Unicity, I was a shy young man who didn't like to speak. In fact, I would never, ever let myself speak to a crowd like this! Up till then I only made 2 successful friends in my Polytechnic days, so my track record in making friends was really bad! In fact, when I signed up for the business, I was like "What? You mean I have to make friends?!"
Luckily, I had a WeShare group; a team that I meet up with every week or more, consisting of fellow sidelines, and mentors who cared enough to help me grow. I really enjoyed hanging out with everyone of them, and I look forward to meeting them every week. This created a safe haven for me to experiment, to practice and to basically spread my wings. The nice thing was that we could have our team gatherings just about anywhere, even over supper at Lau Pa Sat.
Speaking of Lau Pa Sat, this reminds me of one particular evening where my team was having supper there. Everyone was having their Teh Tarik and Satay, when my Mentor, Eng Hai, asked me, "So how are you doing with business, Kelly?" You see, Eng Hai was very acutely aware of my confidence issue, and has been coaching me on it for a while.
So I told him "I'm ok... reading up a couple of books on NLP and psychology to help me become more confident."
"How long is that going to take?" He asked.
"Oh, about six month." Six months! You could rise up a new rank in 6 months if you use it properly! Eng Hai looked at me with gentle eyes but said to me firmly: "Kelly, you don't have to wait till six months to start being confident. You can do it right now!"
You see, Eng Hai said that because the best way to conquer fear is to get into action and face it! And that very night, I experienced my first breakthrough: I sponsored my own mother into my organisation!
And this was a big deal! Because my mother was a NuSkin distributor, and we've had several disagreements on this, so I was very afraid to talk to her. Yet that night, I did it, and it was because I knew I had a team who would support me at every step of the way. Today, my mother is one of my fastest growing legs in my organisation, and the confidence I learnt that night helped me expand my business later by signing up several other builders in my group. (You know who you are, guys! ;) )
I've also had many other opportunities to practice speaking by sharing within my WeShare group product testimonials, business experiences, and before I knew it, I am sharing my personal story in front of an audience of a few hundred people right now!
All this amazing change, because I was associated with a WeShare group, a group that met every week, and acted like a safe haven to practice my strokes until I was ready for the real world. WeShare works, and I am an example of it.
Thank you!
(Audience applause)
That should do it for tomorrow's rehearsal :)
