This Month's NOtivational Article

Choosing to be Antifragile

by Andrea Waltz

We've been sending out monthly NOtivations for over the last ten years. That's 120+ issues and there has never been a time where I've been at a loss for what to say. Until the last few days.

Everything we teach is on mindset, self imposed limitations, fear, and successfully handling rejection. Most of it is internal. Today, we face an external problem completely out of our control.

Interesting seeing something that the entire planet is dealing with all at one time, that virtually no one living has ever experienced.

We are going to learn a lot.

Personally, I have been through what felt like the five stages of grief.

1. Denial. (This is not happening.)
2. Anger. (WTF?!)
3. Bargaining. (Well, maybe...)
4. Depression. (That's it. I'm having a grilled cheese.)
5. Acceptance. (Okay, what is in my control and what can I accomplish?)

So, as much as the external world is in chaos, with acceptance you realize how much we are still in control of our internal world. As bad as things may get, we still get to choose how we think.

We've chosen to keep creating and are working on some new Go for No "workbooks." We've chosen to keep learning and downloaded a bunch of new audio books from Audible. And we're getting out for walks. We are planning for the future.

I hope no matter your circumstances, you are choosing those things that will best serve you. (Hint: it's not watching the news for more than twenty minutes.)

Here is the good news: we're descendants of the survivors from all of the illnesses that have been on the planet. We’re uniquely qualified to face this. And as difficult as this is, it’s still the most “comfortable” pandemic in all of human history.

In his book Antifragile, Nassim Nicholas Taleb says: “Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.”

We will get better on the other side of this. You can be better on the other side of this.

NOteworthy News

March 17th was the 3rd birthday for the Go for No! for Network Marketing book (based on the concepts from the book we are most known for, Go for No!)

We've given a lot of advice to people over the years about writing books. If you're thinking about how a book can help you build a business and share your expertise with the world, there's no better time to start than now. You might want to check out our book on books called, Million Dollar Book Formula.

It's built around a 13 ingredient "formula" we created by analyzing our successes and epic failures. (Oh yes, there have been epic book publishing failures!) If you want to write a book, it's well worth taking the time to read. It's on Amazon in paperback and also on a special sale as a Kindle.
