In building a stable, profitable mlm organization, you must
1. have a tested and proven lead generation training system for your team to use immediately
2. Expand your ability to coach your team to success with your system
The key element that can coach your team to success is you. You must know and understand your own WHY and focus on it every day. You should know exactly what motivates you or how will you will ever be able to find what motivates them? If they don’t get their WHY hammered out in the beginning, they will sooner or later abandon their business. They won’t be able to keep their commitment, if they don’t understand why they are doing their daily work.
Reread the first chapter of Success in 10 Steps, if you are even the slightest unclear about your WHY. You find at least 20 questions in that section to help you identify your motivation.
Not to mention … You will be much happier and better equipped to help others and lead them to their WHY, which will help you all achieve the desired objectives. That’s what a Coach needs in order to be great.
Hi Henrietta,
I just got involved in a network marketing business. I have a question for you regarding the knowing what motivates someone. If a person abandons their business because you don’t know their “why”, is it you’re fault their business failed or theirs?
Hi Eric
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment/ question.
People are very complex creatures. There can be a lot of reasons why people abandon their biz. Let’s not look at it from the perspective of who is to blame. Let’s look at it like this instead.
Network marketing builders are leaders. They lead the other builders to success. We can only lead those that want to follow those steps of success. We can not force them to want it.
Sometimes the passage to get there are like stormy seas. It is rough going sometimes. It can be a challenge to hold on.
What we need is a beacon of light to help guide us through those tough times.
That is what your “Why” is. It is the beacon of light and hope when your out there on the rough seas. We can feel the strength of the waves trying to pull us down, but our eyes stay focused on the beacon. It reminds us why we are doing the activities we need to do to live the type of life styles other people will only dream of.
So Eric you see its not a blame game. Do not blame yourself, do not allow others to blame you. As a leader you will need the help and support of a team to help you and remind you of your “WHY”. You need a mentor to lead you so that you can learn to lead others. Remember. Network marketing is a “people business” not a sales business. Build people and people will build it for you.
Do you have a mentor in your life to help you stay focused on Your “WHY”?
