Network Marketing Distributors

I had this revelation just a few minutes ago before I started typing and I had to share this with you. 

We know in the realm of network marketing and being distributors that the main concept is to leverage everyone’s skills in order to grow a business.  I want to share with you the leverage my wife is creating and maybe the picture will become a little more clear to you.

My wife is an event/wedding coordinator.  In that profession, you are always using the power of leverage to get things done.  How you may ask?  In planning events; you would need photographers, caterers, venues, and decorations just to name a few.  My wife is good but she is not a photographer or a caterer so she has to find the right people to help her get the job done.  She is leveraging the time and talents of others in order to achieve her desired goal which is to create a truly “Sparkling Affair”.

You see how your networking business is exactly the same.  You want to find and work with the right type of people so you can leverage their time and talents and in turn your partners can do the same in order to reach the ultimate goal which is whatever your reason is for being in this business.

Until next time success is within you,

Rodney

P.S.  Check out my wife’s site at http://eventplanningbymonique.com.  The site is her vision and her design.

Hello,

After this post, we are 60 percent of the way thru our five part series on freedom.  First, I would like to define relationship.  There are many various definitions to this word relationship but the one that caught my eye is a passionate attachment.  A passionate attachment is someone or something that you feel strongly about and are willing to put your heart and soul into.

My family, friends, and business partners fall into this category.  Why?  Because all is built on relationships and relationship building.  When you nurture and cultivate these relationships it helps build a tighter bond or attachment.

You may be asking how this ties into network marketing.  Network marketing is a business built upon building and cultivating relationships.  If you take nothing away from this entire post; remember in life you must find something to be passionate about.  In my case, I have several things that I have a strong attachment towards.

Until next time success is within each of you,

Rodney

2. Like making friends and building relationships

3. A desire to achieve total financial freedom

4. Coachable and dependable

5. Cares about and likes to help others

6. Wants to be part of a team of other serious Home-Business Entrepreneurs.

The person you are seeking does not have to have all of these qualities but the more the better.

Until next time success is within you,

Since I have talked about a good team and a good follower; I might as well talk about what makes a good leader.  I wrote a post a long time ago about about leadership qualities and pulled some information from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich.  That is an awesome book by the way.

A leader is a person who influences a group of people towards the achievement of a goal.  A leader goes first and leads by example which inspires others to follow him/her.  The leader must have an unwavering mindset to achieve a goal and in turn his followers will see that and be willing to follow and help achieve that goal.  A good leader also must listen to his/her followers as they have opinions as well. 

There is a fine line that a leader must adhere.  You must have a vision, but you also must let your team members be themselves and think outside the box as well.  A happy medium is what you are looking for as you do not want to smother people from using their own ingenuity if it is for the betterment of everyone on the team.

Until next time success is within you,

The definition of a follower is one who subscribes to the teachings or methods of another.  I just looked that definition up on the internet because I use the internet as my informational source instead of the old-school Webster’s dictionary.  I can gain access to information much more quickly.

Now let’s discuss what constitutes a good follower.  The definition states one who subscribes to the teaching or methods of another.  That does not mean you have to be a clone but what it says is that you understand what the leader is trying to get across to you.  It doesn’t mean you can’t think for yourself because you have your own mind and opinion.  What it represents is you are willing to go along with what is being taught as long as you see a benefit to the teachings.  Don’t go along with something if you feel it does not coincide with your beliefs, but if you see that it has value, then by all means represent it to the best of your ability.

When you are involved with network marketing, you should be a part of something that is bigger than yourself.  Everyone wants to make money, but you can do that with a normal job.  What makes network marketing different than most business models in the world today is that you have the ability to affect so many lives and hopefully for the better if you are surrounded by a good team with a quality leader and a good follower.  The good “follower” will someday become a quality leader and start the process all over again if they are taught by a quality leader.

Until next time success is within you,

Rodney
