Welcome to Network Marketing Pro.
My name is Eric Worre and today, I want to teach you how to turn your worst day into
your best day.
And that sounds strange, right?
You have these bad days.
How can a bad day become a good day.
I first heard this concept of turning your worst day into your best day from Tony Robbins.
And then I was reminded of it by my good friend Jeff Roberti, and I realized it has happened
so many times in the course of my career, especially in the network marketing business.
We can have some bad days, right.
We deal with some rejection, we deal with some heartache, we deal with some disappointment.
How do you take that and what do you do with it?
To try and illustrate this, this lesson to you, this concept to you.
I was early on in my profession, I had been involved for just a few months and I finally
got up the courage to call somebody on my chicken list.
This person was somebody I really respected, he played professional football for the Minnesota
Vikings.
He actually gave me some pointers and tips on how to play football, when I played in
high school and went to our church.
And I just idolized this guy, he was bigger than life.
And I was scared to death to call him.
I knew he was entrepreneurial in addition to his professional football career.
But who was I, I was 22 years old, 23 years old at the time.
To call him and try and see what I could do.
So I mapped it out in my head, I am sure you have had this experience.
I mapped that out in my head and I thought about it.
And at the time I was working in a little real estate office.
So I waited until everybody was gone in the office.
And I dialed 6 numbers and hung and I dialed 6 numbers and hung up.
Like over and over and finally I just said, "Just do it."
And in my mind here is what was going to happen.
Someone else was gonna answer.
"Hello."
And I was gonna say is the person I am calling, are they available.
"Yes they are.
Hold on one second."
Clop, clop, clop clop.
They would walk away.
The person would come and he would say, "Hello this is so, and so.
Can I help you?"
Right.
So that was what was going to happen in my mind.
And then I had my little script in front of me, of what I was gonna say.
Well here's what happened.
This person, his name is Wally, this person answered on the first ring.
Ring.
Boom.
"Hello."
And I was like, "Uhhhhh."
Just totally panicked, my mind left my body.
I couldn't put good, coherent sentences together.
I was like stumbling, "Uh, uh, uh, uh.
I'm involved in this thing.
Um um um.
My dad and his partner are involved and they are successful, um, um, um.
Maybe you could look at this.
You are so powerful, you are so amazing.
Um, um, um."
And he just said, "Eric, stop.
I am not interested.
No one in my family will ever be interested.
90 days from today, you will no longer be doing this little project of yours.
You will have moved on to other things.
Don't call me at home about business."
And hung up.
BOOM.
I don't know if you have ever had this kind of experience.
That person, that you, just idolized, just absolutely crushed you.
Well that's what, he crushed me that day.
Have you ever felt a day, that when like gravity is multiplied?
At first I was mushed down, face down onto the desk, and then eventually I slumped down
onto the ground and I remember my face down into the carpet, thinking, "Who am I trying
to kid anyway? who am I?What is this?
Yes it's probably silly."
And all these thoughts are going through my mind.
And I laid there for maybe ten minutes.
And here's when that worst day, at that moment it was my worst day.
Here's when that worst day became my best day.
I got mad.
laid there thinking, "You know what, who is he?
It took guts for me to make this call.
It took guts for me to pick up the phone.
And he should know that, that took courage for me to do.
At the least he should have had compassion on me, and should have been kind in the process,
cause somebody believed in him, when he didn't believe in himself."
And I got mad.
And that moment, I wrote his name on my the top of my legal pad, and I was a big legal
pad guy for many many years.
And I underlined a couple of times and I said, "I will not allow him, his opinion of me,
his opinion of my decision to be reality.
I will not allow it."
So that day became my best day, because guess what, 90 days later I wanted to quit, but
I couldn't because I couldn't let him be right.
I got mad and I went to work.
Ok.
So that day kind of was important for me.
Probably a better day than if he said yes and joined my business.
For sure a better day, because it caused me to take action, that I wouldn't have taken
otherwise.
It caused me to solidify my decision.
Right.
So that day, that worst day became one of the best days of my life.
