			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went on a very long hike recently as a guest of a weekly hiking group.  I don&#8217;t think I had any idea what I was in for, which is probably why I agreed to go.  My friend had faith in me and my hiking capabilities, as did my family when I posed the question to them before I went; &#8220;Do you think I can do it?&#8221;.  I am not an experienced hiker, to say the least, and this turned out to be a 3 hour hike (not 2 hours as I had originally been told), mostly straight up the mountain.  It was glorious weather, which helped, and I had my very experienced hiker friend guiding and encouraging me the entire way, which was extremely important to me.  She helped me stay the course, and believe me there were a couple of times when I didn&#8217;t think I was going to make it.  The last stretch was grueling and we even went through snow.  On the way up I was telling myself &#8220;I think I can, I think I can&#8221; just like the LIttle Engine That Could &#8211; a favorite children&#8217;s book of mine that I read to my children many years ago.  The message of believing in yourself rings out so clearly in that book and is something I need to remind myself of constantly.  I felt so relieved when I completed the hike and so proud that I had actually made it!</p>
<p>As I reflected on the hike, while nursing my aching body, I began to think how my hiking experience compares to running my home based business.  I didn&#8217;t know what I was in for really when I started my own network marketing business.  I liked the business model but had no idea how to make it successful.  I questioned whether I could do it, and looked for encouragement from others whom I respect and who had faith in me.  I have aligned myself in my business with great people who train, encourage and support me and who want to see me succeed, as they have.  I hear myself saying &#8220;I think I can, I think I can&#8221; often as I chug up the mountain to financial freedom.  It&#8217;s so important to keep your eyes on the goal, surround yourself with people who support you, and believe you can do it.  I know it can be done.  The LIttle Engine did it, and I did it on my hike!</p>
