Build It Anyway!
About a week ago, a member of our "Exclusive Online Gated Community" Membership website at www.clubrhino.com asked a question on our Member's Only Discussion Forum... It was a question that I felt deserved a little more attention; thus, I told (Azmyers, also known as Bengal Tigers) that I would write an article responding to his question... (The actual date of the Post on the Discussion Forum is Nov. 5th, 2004)...
I've reprinted the question here (with some minor editing)...
Hello DRhino,
We have our business growing and one strong leg have going really successful that we have been helping them but we help other legs to success and they are sort of frozen, always make Big excuses. I know there is no excuse so what do I do? We are still looking for new prospects so we want our legs to break the ice and run -- NOT FROZEN -- like wake up because they are really close to leader level... We have four of them and we are aiming for a trip to the
I have the Red curly hair and my Nickname is "Bengal Tiger" because I always run free...
Go, Go, Go to Freedom!
My Response:
As leaders of our own Network Marketing Organization, it's of critical importance to understand a few key points as it relates to people:
- Never allow the words people say, interfere with your observations of their actions... In other words, if someone says they are going to build a big business -- that's great... However, you will want to always be observant of their constant actions... When their actions are not congruent with the words that they speak, then it's important for you to simply understand that they may not be as committed as they verbally said they were.
- People may start off with good intentions, however, always understand that good intentions alone doesn't build a successful Network Marketing Organization... There has to be some good, consistent, committed actions along with the good intentions...
- People get Derailed... That's right, there will be things along the way that may distract people from doing what they originally said they would do... For some, it's easier to get derailed than others...
- Some people simply don't have the HEART to build a huge MLM Dynasty... That's right... Some people will get upset after they have been in the business for a while and they realize they still don't have the talent to be as good as they thought they should have been after a certain period of time... When this happens, most people simply fold up the tent and give up instead of having the HEART to keep charging until they get better and better...
- Some people are more committed to being Comfortable than they are to being Rich... This is a basic tenet of Human Nature... There is no use in trying to fight it... Just understand that most people will only do what they feel comfortable doing, and when they reach past a certain "Comfort Threshold", they simply fold up their "tent" and leave... Most people aren't going to be willing to be Comfortable with being Uncomfortable for a Period of Time...
Ok, So What Do We Do About All Of This?
You simply understand it and learn to work with it instead of wasting so much energy trying to fight it...
The truth of the matter is Some people will do what it takes to build a successful MLM Empire and Some people will not...
But why does it have to be this way you may ask?
As Jim Rohn is known for saying: "I wouldn't sign up for that class"... It's called one of the Mysteries of Life...
So Here's The Key:
If you want your Organization Built to Empire Status... YOU BUILD IT!!!
That's right... You should be the one who is willing to take the time to make sure that you work with a Leg until you have a Leader backed by a Leader backed by a Leader... Make sure each Leg has at least 3 or 4 Levels of Leadership before you start to feel to comfortable tremendously easing off your activity from that leg... If you do ease off tremendously, just realize you're risking the chance of that leg "Fizzling" out...
Of course, if you are wondering how you build it, then you definitely want to revisit my High Achievement Network Marketing Audio Program (it's now available in CD format)... But more importantly, you will want to have a serious conversation with your Successful Upline Leaders and make sure you have a Great understanding of your overall System... You want to make sure you know How To Build Legs... You want to fully understand the dynamics of going Wide and going Deep...
Doing this will allow you to not be as disturbed when you are presented with people who seem to be Building at one point and then all of a sudden FREEZE UP... Instead of you focusing to much energy on wondering why it's happening, you will simply understand that it is part of the process...
But that's ok, because you will continue to Charge and Build It Anyway!
Until Next Time...
Go, Go, Go!!!
