So what if you are really passionate about what you are building in your network marketing business but it still doesn’t feel like it’s happening like you want and at some level you are dragging your feet.

If your passion is at a 10 to build a network marketing business but it’s still not getting done, then ask yourself: What am I afraid will happen if I build a successful business?

Maybe you are afraid of all the things you don’t know how to do? Perhaps you are conce
ed that you really aren’t the sales person or the “people person” you thought you were.

What would change in your life if all of sudden you were a “star” in your network marketing company, making the headlines and taking away the awards. Yikes, how would massive fame and notoriety change your quiet, private, sheltered life in rural Ohio? Would you fit in with your friends, relatives or business colleagues? Or would you feel out of place, different and even ridiculed by those around you? Those are good questions to think about because being accepted by people is more important than most people realize. Any time we feel like we are being abandoned by “the tribe” or don’t fit in to the tribe, then we will do plenty of silly things to sabotage ourselves.

What fears are you facing? It’s very normal to be afraid of losing all your friends because now you are different. There’s definitely something to the saying, —The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t. At least if all your friends are broke or struggling you fit in. If you move out of the realm of struggle and “not enough”, then that can bring up lots of issues at a sub-conscious level. Those unspoken fears can be enough to scare you into complacency and procrastination.

You can do this with every event in your life that you believe you are procrastinating over. Make a list of what you believe you are postponing or delaying needlessly. Then ask yourself: What is my level of passion around this? Secondly, ask yourself, what am I afraid of around this subject?

Today the modern call center sits at the center of customer experience, quietly coordinating returns, managing fulfillment concerns, and shaping how customers feel about every interaction with a brand. Instead of reacting to problems, teams now guide customers through complex journeys. Their role has gr
