Can you make people successful?
by Lawrence Tam
So
what does a ball and chain image mean to you? Some might say it's the
attachment to something that you can't break free of. Others might
think it's something that is holding you back.
Well, the ball
and chain in the MLM world is something or "someone" holding you back
from breaking free. So how does someone in particular hold you back?
1) Someone tells you something that breaks your motivation or self esteem. Pretty much stabs you in the heart
2) Someone you sponsor is excited to work yet doesn't really want to work.
Let
me touch more on #2. So you sponsor someone that is all gung ho about
doing the business. Then you realize they don't treat it like a
business but more like a part time hobby. This puts you in a situation
in that you put up all this upfront investment in time and resources
for a distributor that won't even distribute. So you continue to work
at it holding their hand helping them get paid. Of course you get paid
but at what cost? The time you hand held this distributor could have
been better served with other distributors in training or support. Your
essentially working for your distributor when they should be pulling
their own weight. A healthy downline is one where they can do exactly
what you do. Sell products and sponsor more people who want to do the
same.
If your downline person doesn't do the work and you have
to pull them through the mud to get them to work do you really think
that will motivate them to work on their own? Why should they? They
have a upline associate willing to bend over backwards to make them
money.
This is especially dangerous to new potential associates.
If they see you dragging multiple associates in hopes of getting a
commission check and in the end some residual out of it they will not
want to join. Why? Who wants to copy their manager in dragging their
downline to success. The better picture is to lead by example and let
the lazy people fall out and the real distributors turn into leaders.
If you make it seem like a lot of work people will not want to take
that on. Everyone is busy when they take on a small side business.
There is no need to make the side business harder than it is. You can
guide someone to success but carrying them will not help either of you
in the long run.
