HTSS24 - No Rain No Rainbow How this Hawaiian Proverb can help you out - Scott Sylvan Bell

The Hawaiians have a proverb and it is No Rain No Rainbow. This means that if you dont have to go through adversity or problems there is no win for you later. You need the struggles to get better. The struggles and tribulations you go through and you deal with do make you better. 

Its easy to get caught up with what other people have done or are doing. Sometimes these events look easy to them. Most people who you see have it easy have had it tough somewhere else. Not everyone is naturally talented at something. Most endeavors will take hard work and effort. 

One way to make events easier is to look for small victories instead of the huge trophy. Where is the line in the sand with people who give up. Can you make it to that point instead of the finish line and then move the goal post? Where is the point where 80% quit, when you line this out you can find where your dash to achievement is.

Layer the point where the next 10% give up, figure out where the next 5% give up and then keep moving forward. 

We all have something that we gave up on for whatever reason and look back with regret. I gave up on playing the guitar in 3rd grade. There are times where I wish I would have stick with it. 

People look to you at a hero for the steps you have taken. Plenty of people will not event try but they still look to you for inspiration. You have people cheering for you that you don’t see. Look for the person silently cheering for you. If you cant do it for yourself do it  for someone else, what would they say or they do to encourage you to get there?

Be willing to ask for help, the fear of looking dumb will stop you sometimes but a good coach or mentor has heard it before. 

Instead of looking for all of the reasons to quit, look for all of the reasons to keep going. You may even get some advice from a coach or mentor will hurt your feelings. A coach or mentor is supposed to tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear. 

Look for small victories and memorialize them. I was able to speak back to back at Kevin Hogan Influence Boot camp. Both my parents were in the front row cheering me on. I have a picture of that in my phone when I struggle. 

On my YouTube channel scottbellconsutant  I shoot anniversary videos every 50th videos to prove a small victory.

Memorialize and celebrate all victories since we get torn down significantly in business. This is your chance to build a file for the hard work you have done. You can learn this tip from Copywriters, they will put celebrations in a folder for when they struggle. 

Find someone who will cheer for you and maybe you need to cheer for them. 

A rainbow is a reward for weathering the storm

You can do it, keep going
