The business of people development
This business is all about developing people. Seeing people who come into the business with such low confidence and self esteem, and slowly progress and build to the point where they are competent and confident in running their own business, is such a joy. The income is of course the reason we all start Network Marketing, but it’s this hidden benefit which is, in some ways, even more rewarding.
When a child’s shoelace is untied we have 2 choices. We can tie it for them, and be on our way. Quick and easy. Or we can take the time and effort to show them how to tie it themselves. They will struggle, they will get it wrong, they may throw a tantrum, but eventually they will be able to tie their own laces. You will be forever free of having to do their laces for them, as you will have duplicated yourself with a child who can tie their own laces.
In our business we sponsor people who are afraid of the phone, who are incompetent at doing 1-2-1 appointments, who lack knowledge and confidence. They only way to help them, and to effectively build your business, is to invest the time and effort to teach them, to help them duplicate your efforts, and for them to eventually become an independent leader.
Teaching can be time consuming. It can be frustrating and will not produce results as quickly as if you had simply done the job yourself. However, the rewards for you and your downline, will be independence, long term business growth and stability. More importantly your newly independent downline will now have the confidence and self belief to take their business to the next level. The monetary rewards from this business are fantastic, but it is the feeling you get from helping others to achieve independence which feels like the greatest reward of all.
