Create colleagues rather than competition

Part of the magic of network marketing is that, as your business grows, you gain colleagues, not competitors.
As you train people to succeed, they become clones of you, out there being in more places than you could ever cover on your own. They don’t break away and steal your customers. They don’t set up shop across town and use the skills that you taught them to whittle away your bottom line. They stand with you, shoulder to shoulder, and become your greatest asset.
Everyone wins.
They say that it’s lonely at the top.
Not if you take everyone with you!
Bean by bean, the bag gets full

Network marketing doesn’t often explode into being. Some people can do that, but not many. Most of us build over time, solidly, determinedly, cyclically.
I’ve heard people say that their business imploded 5 or 8 or 6 separate times before they hit the top. Mine has imploded twice. It might implode again. That won’t stop me. I KNOW in my heart of hearts, that this is the business that will help the most people the most. That’s MY life goal: to help people blossom into the best version of themselves.
I don’t care how long it takes them. I’m there for them. I match their effort. I lead them where they want to go.
I don’t do it for them. That’s pointless. If a mother never lets her child tie his own shoelaces, then that child grows up hampered. I take the time to show each person his or her next step. I hold the bicycle, running alongside, until she gets her balance, and then watch as she swoops toward her future, calling out encouragement and praise.
And bean by bean, my bag gets full.
I coach each person on how to run alongside the bicycle that someone else is trying to ride. I watch from a distance, my hand shading my eyes from the bright sun of their future.
I watch as, bean by bean, their bags get full.
We’re changing the world, one bean at a time.

Be a leader

People want direction in their lives. Sometimes we get so bogged down in the details, that we need someone to step up and point in the direction that we want to go. It helps us end up where we want to be.
What is leadership?
Leadership is the ability to lead people to do things they wouldn’t normally do.
We all have the ability to become a leader.
Will you awaken your innate ability?
A leader is persistent, honest, inspiring, respectful, trustworthy, authentic, firm, confident, courageous, visionary, encouraging, supportive, loyal, organized, consistent.
You learn how to be a leader by practicing. Your learn how to be a leader by hanging out with leaders. Emulate. Internalize. Make it your own.
Sometimes it takes a while to develop your leadership. No worries. Just make sure you’re headed in the right direction.
If you’re not yet headed in the right direction, then turn so you’re facing the right direction.
If you’re not ready to face the right direction, then pray to your higher self, or God, or whatever is your source of inspiration. Pray for inspiration to turn in the right direction. Pray for the will power and the determination to turn. Pray for help.
You will get there. You will succeed.
Start now.
Communicate from your heart
Filed under: MLM, finding new prospects, handling objections, leadership, learning network marketing, network marketing, positive attitude, prospecting, solving problems
When you’re getting ready to talk with a new prospect about your business, take a moment to energetically prepare yourself. Let yourself grow quiet. Connect with your higher self. Reach out to the person with your thoughts, with your heart.
All you know about the prospect may be a phone number. Maybe you know the city where she lives. Maybe you have a fancy program that tells you things about that part of the world, like current weather, local news. Maybe you only know what time of day it is there.
Just let you mind rest on the connection you’re making with her.
If you don’t know how to do this, pretend that you know how. It works just as well that way, too. Pretty soon, you’ll know how to do it.
Ask yourself: Is what I have to offer a fit for what she needs?
Let your mind rest on that question for a moment.
Then call her, and ask her about herself. Take quick notes. Children? Corporate job? Laid off? What does she enjoy doing? What would be her perfect job? What qualities about her perfect job are her highlights, her favorite aspects? If she had all the time in the world, how would she spend it?
Sprinkle in information about yourself, too, so it doesn’t start to feel like 20 questions. Ick. But always end your SHORT story about yourself by bringing the conversation back to her.
Where did she go to school? Does she like to work with her hands? Does she write much? Does she like floating around the internet?
Then, ask yourself what aspect of your business would appeal to her the most? Does she like talking with people? Does she like meeting friends for lunch? Does she use the internet all day long? Is she overwhelmed with her kids and can’t imagine taking time to start a business?
Handle her objections. Connect with her truth, and link it up with your truth. Be honest, sincere, supportive, creative, empathetic, authentic, courageous, respectful, inspiring. Be a leader.
Then she’ll be able to see what fantastic business partners the two of you can be.
