Some people try to avoid this stage altogether and procrastinate from getting fully committed because they want to be feeling "comfortable". What they actually mean is they can't get started until they have learnt everything there is to know! They want to spend months researching before they pick up a club and approachrepparttar golf tee. This is a great mistake!

You can't learn how to play golf from a textbook or from a training video alone. You have to learn by continually practicing. Likewise your home business will not grow if you don't communicate with people and practice! You may feel totally foolish, but you cannot go forward unless you try and learn by doing. Learning by doing is one ofrepparttar 122897 fastest ways to learn a new skill. How good a game of golf would you play, if you just read about how to swingrepparttar 122898 club? How quickly will your business grow if you only readrepparttar 122899 training manuals and don't get into action?

Despite how foolish you may feel, get started AND keep going despite how foolish you feel. Determine not to stop because if you do, you will stop atrepparttar 122900 start and never get torepparttar 122901 finish line!

Stage 2 - You Feel Uncomfortable Inrepparttar 122902 next phase you may not feel quite so anxious and foolish, but you most certainly are still uncomfortable! Keep going no matter how uncomfortable you feel. The only way to get past this stage is more and more practice. Your heart will catch up if you keep doingrepparttar 122903 deal over and over. You may feel moments of exhilaration as you start to see some positive results and at other times feel despair as you catch fresh glimpses ofrepparttar 122904 challenge ahead of you. It is normal to feel like you are on an emotional roller-coaster! Keep your focus onrepparttar 122905 future forrepparttar 122906 best is yet to come. If you keep going giving yourself more and more practice, picking yourself up despiterepparttar 122907 mistakes, eventually you will find some aspects ofrepparttar 122908 game of golf (or your home business) will start to feel more comfortable. Oh what a feeling! Make sure you celebraterepparttar 122909 wins no matter how small and reinforce how well you are doing.

Stage 3 - You Feel Comfortable In this next stage of learning, you will start to lose some of your nervousness in talking to people aboutrepparttar 122910 business, you may even start to EXPECT results. Possibly some questions which earlier on distressed you, are no longer a challenge. You start to see that you can answer objections people put in front of you, with ease and style. This isrepparttar 122911 comfortable stage. Your heart has finally caught up with your head. You can tell people confidently you are a golfer, or have your own business. Once your reach this stage your self belief will have grown exponentially. Don't take your learning for granted - celebrate your success again and again.

Stage 4 - Your Feel Proficient This is where you really wanted to be when you start. You are great at what you do!!! You have developed an unshakable conviction about your ability. Here you start to entertain thoughts of resetting your goals higher and engage in improving your style or processes. The only way to get here is practice, practice, and practice. You can't get here in one step. You must pass throughrepparttar 122912 other three stages. Once you are here, don't be surprised if unforeseen things happen and you may slip back into feeling comfortable, or even uncomfortable. For example, you may have to play golf on a different or harder course. Do not fear, simply practice over and over and you will again be proficient and feeling completely in control of what you are doing.
