Whether it’s seen as a sacrifice or not is up to the person that did the work to give it up. Right? Sacrifice means to surrender something for the sake of something else. Sacrifice can have a heavy, painful, connotation to it especially if you’re thinking of it from a Biblical sense. The word sacrifice can also simply mean to give something up for the sake of something else.For our chat today, I’ll refer to “letting go of” and “giving something up” as meaning the same as sacrifice. Is it Easy or Difficult for High Achieving Women in Direct Sales to Let Go? I see this letting go or giving something up on a continuum of easy to difficult. On one end, the difficult end, it’s seen as a sacrifice. A difficult and painful choice that can resurface and keep coming up. It’s really hard. On the other end of the continuum, it just happens organically. It’s not even a choice to let go of something. It’s just what happens when you’re having fun and motivated to keep going, spending time on what’s fun about your business. Other things that take your time and energy fall off and surprise, they weren’t that important to you or they would have stuck around. Everything in between easy and difficult is still a choice or a decision. It simply has to be done in order to create space, time, mental energy, and focus. Something has to give. Top Leaders in Direct Sales Make These Types of SacrificesHere’s what other high-achieving women in direct sales have shared with me that they have given up. Some women have let go of friendships or relationships that didn’t honor or support their personal dreams and goals for their business. Some have given up alcohol. They weren’t big drinkers to begin with, but they stopped the wine. No judgment here. Right. It just wasn’t serving them any longer. They made different choices for themselves. Some gave up the tidiness and cleanliness of their home. Adopting an “It can wait” mentality was what they chose in order to spend that time working. Some gave up t.v. They share, it just kind of hit me, why would I watch others' reality or journey to success when I could be actively working on my own. Again, no judgment. It was simply a realization others have made for themselves. I can relate to this one though. T.V. was something I watched while folding laundry, or doing busy work around the house. I would have it on. When we moved from the mainland to Hawaii, I completely stopped watching everything. I haven’t turned on the television in almost 2 years!We're just getting started!
