PRIME THAT PUMP! Part 1
by Rosella Aranda
Perseverance. Tenacity. Stick-to-it-iveness. Patience. All
these words are driving at the same thing: DON'T GIVE UP.
Now I don't particularly like negative statements, so let me
reword this. Keep on keeping on. Hang in there. Keep on
truckin'. There, that's better, because you see, I want to be
your favorite cheerleader.
I want to point out to you what you're doing right so that you
can keep on doing more of it. I want to show you that you
already have the qualities you need to make it (and make it
big!)
in a successful home business.
That's right! You already possess the "tools"
that you need. If
you didn't, you wouldn't be reading this article! You already
have desire, vision and initiative. You want more out of life,
you see the possibilities for yourself, and you are taking
action.
I applaud you!
Now, my job as your self-appointed personal cheerleader is to
encourage you to keep on picking up those tools. I want to
entice you to fan the flames of your desire, sharpen your vision
and to keep taking regular action. I wish to show you what to
expect so that you don't go running away before your dreams
reach
you.
How many of you out there have ever joined a gym or started an
exercise program? Well, starting a profitable home business is a
bit like starting an exercise program.
When you first start out, your enthusiasm is jumping,
expectations are high, visions of a beautiful body and ripply
muscles are dancing in your head, so it's off to the gym you go.

Desire, vision, action.
Now it's time to get down to business.
The muscles are out of shape, so you have to work up gradually
as
your body learns to handle the extra usage. There's a period of
adaptation when the muscles seem to be crying out, "Bad idea,
Man!" You're sore all over. You're feeling more tired than usual
because you're body is burning more energy
than before, but
you're not getting any extra sleep to make up for it. And what's
worse, you're not seeing any results. In fact, you look even
flabbier than before!
What's wrong with this picture?
There is nothing wrong with this picture. It is part of the
PROCESS!
Body fat becomes flabbier before it is actually burned off and
converted to muscle. As you keep on working out, the soreness
soon goes away. Your stamina steadily improves. Your body gets
sleepy earlier because you're burning more energy, so you get a
little more sleep than usual. And you keep on working out. Then
comes that glorious day when you start to see your results.
Ahhh, such a satisfying feeling.
See, you did it! Now, even if you didn't stick with it for very
long, you witnessed the process. You are, in fact, capable of
producing the desired results. If you don't want to go the
distance, well, you won't get to where you want to go. It's as
simple as that. But don't tell yourself you don't have what it
takes. This is simply not true.
This gives you an idea of what to expect when you start your own
business.
Just as your body fat becomes flabbier before it is actually
burned off and converted to muscle, your mind may need to
grapple
with old negative, "flabby" thinking patterns while it learns
how
to convert those thoughts to a new, more positive framework.
Mental work is very taxing, even more so than physical work.
Your brain might feel a little "sore" from the extra work-out,
and you might find yourself needing a little more sleep than
usual, at least for a while. Most people don't get enough sleep
as it is, so a little indulgence while you temporarily "catch a
few more zzzz" is probably a good idea.

Let's try another analogy. How many of you have ever had to pump
water from a well?
Starting a profitable home business is like priming a pump. You
feel thirsty and want something to drink, so you picture a big
jug of nice, cool water, and you head for the well. Desire,
vision, action.
When you first start to pump for water, you pump and you pump,
but nothing comes out. There is nothing wrong with the pump.
This, too, is part of the process. Knowing this, you keep on
pumping and pumping.
Finally, the water reaches the top of the well and it starts to
trickle out. Pretty soon, all you have to do is keep applying
slow, steady pressure, and the water just comes gushing out!
It's like that with building a business, too.
Remember that we are ENTREPRENEURS, my friend. Pioneers,
if you will. We are not the 9 to 5 employees who do a straight,
mediocre exchange of time for money. In this business, 95% of
what we do will SEEM like wasted energy. This is an illusion!!
ALL of our activity is part of the process, and it will pay off
handsomely if we just don't give up.
I know I've not provided you with any new earth-shattering
information. What I HAVE done is to remind you of things that
you already know but may have temporarily forgotten.
Also, I hope that I've given you an analogy that might just be
the one that "catches," the one that resonates with you, the one
that you can readily call to mind in a moment of need, and most
especially, the one that will cause you to keep putting one foot
in front of the other and to keep on keepin' on! This is my
fervent desire.
And the crowd roars, "Prime that pump, Baby! Rah, rah, rah!!!
Prime that pump, Baby! Sis, Boom, Bah!!!" (Stay tuned for
Part 2.)
