How to leverage your time by working with the right people
I was listening to a CD on how to build a successful network marketing business by Jim Rohn. One of the nuggets of wisdom from him that stood out to me was, “Work with people who deserve it, not people who need it.”
Many of the people who join network marketing don’t understand the whole concept and flow of how it works, what it’s all about. They are blinded by the idea of quick and easy money. They don’t take the time to fully understand what exactly they are buying and joining. They don’t realize that they are buying a home business that they are fully responsible for running and maintaining. By not understanding this, they are not taking responsibility for their decision, but are putting the responsibility on you, their sponsor, for them to succeed. These are the people who join because they “need” it.
When we advertise online, we try to communicate and use words that attract and interest someone to click on our ad. We then use words and images to paint a picture of what we have to offer, if you are interested in learning more about our business opportunity, products and services, please fill out the form with your contact information. Nowhere in this process do we force anyone to stop and click on our ad, read our web page below, or listen to what we have to offer when we contact you by email or phone.
The purpose of our appeal to them is not to convince them to buy our products or join our business. We use it as an opportunity to gauge their level of interest and their intent as to what they’re looking for. We simply introduce them to our products, services, and business opportunities, thereby enabling them to take the next step in determining if this is the right business for them. We can do this by sending them to a live business presentation hosted by the represented company or by sending them back to peruse the business overview web page again.
There will always be those who believe in running their business through the “hard sell.” They will dangle carrots as incentives or guarantees and set a deadline as to when they need a decision. By doing this, they are not allowing the person to make an informed decision for themselves, rather they are intimidating and pressuring that person to buy and join through intimidation and emotion. These are the people who enter this industry with no intention of building a great organization and accumulating wealth by serving others, but rather to make the most money as quickly as possible without providing any service. Most of the people who are drawn to doing business this way are those who “need it.”
The ones you want to attract and mentor, to build a successful home business and great organization, are the people who “deserve it.” By “deserve” I mean those who enter this industry because they truly have the vision, desire, passion, determination, and persistence to build a long-term successful home-based business that will lead to consistent growth of accumulated wealth. and maximum financial independence. These are the ones who can envision the successful outcome they truly deserve and want to be ready and willing to work hard to do whatever it takes to carry out and duplicate the steps their sponsor has taken and taught them with integrity and honesty. . They understand that by mentoring and teaching others to duplicate this same process, they are securing the keys to their success. They understand that their success or failure rests solely on their own shoulders and their ability to take responsibility and take necessary action. These are the ones who, as their business grows, evolve as leaders and organizers who add to and contribute to the overall foundation and health of the team. These are the ones who, even without the help of their sponsors, would prosper and grow, organizing and planning on their own how to lay the first bricks of their foundation and, in turn, will teach, mentor and guide those they sponsor in duplication. of this process.
“Work with the people who deserve it, not the people who need it.” How invaluable are those words imparted from the wisdom and experience of the legendary and hugely successful Jim Rohn. Is it my goal to have the same level of success and financial independence that Mr. Rohn has? Of course yes! And you can be sure that I will listen, learn and “follow the leader” to duplicate your success.
