Risk Takers are History Makers

Throughout history it has been the risk takers who have broken through and changed things.  Look at the Wright brothers - even with a father who was a Cardinal and said that it was blasphemous for man to fly, they still invented the first successful airplane.  How about Roger Bannister, the runner who broke the 4-minute mile barrier, even though the medical journals at that time said that the human heart could not survive a sub-4-minute mile.

In the network marketing industry, it is the risk takers who change the way we think.  However, the risk takers make up only a very small percentage of the total networkers.  Why?  Because most people are afraid to take risks.  They fear failure and rejection, loss of possessions, and loss of security.  Risk takers risk their reputations, relationships, and resources.  Most people aren't willing to take the chance.

So, what do risk takers look like?

1.  Character - they have strong foundational beliefs.
2.  Godly - they belief in God and give him the control.
3.  Passionate - they have focus, drive and desire.
4.  Trusting - they trust people and themselves.
5.  Gracious - they give the credit to others and to God.
6.  Have faith - they have a strong belief and will continue on.
7.  Listener - they listen twice as much as they talk.
8.  Confident - confident in their abilities, but yet humble.
9.  Visionary - they see what will happen and then make it so.

Are you a risk taker?  How well do you fit the mold?  If you would like to do something big in your network marketing career and in life, you must become more of a risk taker.
