"If I Only Had A Sponsor"

"If I only had a sponsor".Sound familiar? I've heard this many times in conversation over the last couple months.My first question is always,what are you working on in order to get sponsored? Which is always followed by "uuuuuuhh..." Well if all you have is "Uuuuuhhh",all your going to get is "Uuuuhhh".My second question is, what does your proposal contain? "Uuuuhh....I've been busy lately..." Well, so have all your potential sponsors.Looking at proposals from all of your competition. But,that's besides the point. The point is you need a proposal(a good one helps).Besides,if you're too busy for your dreams(the things that turn you on in life),your basically saying your too busy to live the life you want...That doesn't make sense..  Next you'll need to do the one thing everyone dreads and call potential sponsors or even go meet them in person! The difference between a sponsored driver and a dreamer is the sponsored driver took his dream and his plan(or proposal) and deposited it into action.So you have your proposal and you've met with a sponsor and they say no! Is it over,do you quit? What if all 30 sponsors you met with in the last 30 weeks says no?what then?You say next! There are always more companies,even if you called and sent a proposal everyday for the rest of your life you wouldn't be able to submit one to every company! Here's some inspiration, Colonel Harlan Sanders received 300 rejections before he found someone to believe in his dream. He REJECTED rejection 300 times and now there are over 11,000 KFC's in the US alone. This is one example of many who just said "NEXT". There is nothing to lose by asking for money,parts or services,only something to gain. So make a proposal,and make it a priority to CONSISTENTLY call/meet new potential sponsors and ask for what you want. Go! Get out of  here!
