"The Winning Formula for MLM Success"

The winning formula for success. Everyone wants to know it. Unfortunately, most of us make it too complicated. Ask yourself this question...are your activities being done to help you and you alone? Or, will your activities be helpful to those in your organization? Be careful, it is very easy to fool yourself on this one.

How many times over the years have you heard someone in the industry say they would not deal with a particular person because they refused to join their business, or worse yet, they quit the business. Why is it that everyone has to be in your organization in order to not be considered a fool?

Everyone has different attitudes and different needs at certain times of their lives. Perhaps a particular business partner is too stressed out or needs additional income over and above what he is making in his network marketing business. Perhaps he simply needs to have the comfort of a paycheck. Maybe this person's spouse needs this "safety net" as well. So be it. You will have many times in your career when a person you are sure would be great in the business says, no thank you. If you are gracious with them in that situation you may be pleasantly surprised months or years later. I have had situations just like that in my career. These people become major producers because they have decided that the business was right for them ON THEIR TERMS.

That is what I meant earlier when I asked the question...are your activities being done for you or for others? When you are congruent with others, when you are in synch with others you will find that your activities will not only be productive but the activities will be beneficial for your whole team. Do things from the heart... The old adage, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, is so true especially in the network marketing field. Stop the attitude. If someone wants what you have great, if not, great. One of my mentors once told me it is impossible to push a rope. I didn't get it for a long time. Finally, I understood that if I gently helped people along, pulling them along to the degree that they felt comfortable, great productivity ensued. If I had attempted to push them into doing things, it would just be like pushing a rope..Nothing happens!

Think about these concepts the next time you are working with someone. You will find if you are doing what is best for everyone, your results will give you great joy as well as financial success. Until next time...
