“Have you joined the movement, its called FREE THINKING – give it a whirl!!” Lisa Kitter

 

Which best describes your business?

 

• Are you having fun with your business?

 

• Or is your business weighing heavy on your mind?

 

If you’re finding it a struggle to build your business or if you’re just plain not having fun, it’s time for a change…an attitude change.

 

The fact is, that all you have to do to make changes in the way you feel about things is to decide to make the change and then act on it.  And here’s a good place to put that to good use.

 

If you’re not having fun, then decide that you’re not going to take things so seriously and that you’re going to have fun in building your business.  People look forward to doing things that are fun. People procrastinate and avoid doing things that are not fun.

 

Think about it.

 

• Would you rather clean the house or spend the afternoon with friends doing fun things on a beautiful summer day?

 

• Would you rather have extensive dental work or go for dinner at your favorite restaurant?

 

• Would you rather wash windows or go to a concert featuring one of you favorite artists?

 

I think you get my point here.  We all have more energy and desire to do the things we have fun doing and we procrastinate from doing the things that we perceive as not enjoyable.

 

The question, again, is how do you make the shift?

 

Decide to make changes in your thoughts about your business and what you’re doing.  Decide your business is fun and commit to it.

 

• Laugh a lot.  Find things that are funny and don’t be so serious.  Things are going to go wrong and most of what goes wrong will be funny.

 

• Enjoy yourself in the process of building your business.

 

• Experience joy in everything you do.

 

• Think happy thoughts.  What is it that makes you smile whenever that thought comes to your mind?  Think about that and other things that make you happy.

 

• Start the day and end the day feeling grateful.  Develop and attitude of gratitude.

 

• Find a way to feel good and have fun in all that you do.  By being happy and having fun in life, you will automatically carry those feelings into your business.

 

• Keep your eye on the prize (the results) but have fun and enjoy the process.

 

 

Again, you set the tone.  If the people in your organization see you having fun, they’ll have fun.  If they see you stressed, uptight, and discouraged, they’ll be stressed, uptight, and discouraged.

 

Again, the point here is that this is a business of duplication. When you have fun, others will duplicate that. Your winning smile, whether experienced in person or over the phone, will be contagious.

 

Others will be excited to be in your energy because it feels good. Your team will duplicate you in all ways, because they will want to experience the pleasure in building their business, the way you experience happiness in your business.

I can tell you from personal experience that a quick attitude adjustment is worth your time… and it doesn’t cost you a single dime.

Let’s talk about how we can all become better contributors in our businesses.

Most people start a home business for the convenience of generating money for themselves from the comfort of their own home.  That is definitely a big plus to starting your own business in the wonderful industry of Network Marketing / Direct Sales.

Once introduced to Network Marketing, people find out that there truly is no ceiling on the income potential available.  The only ceiling is in direct relation to our thoughts and beliefs about what we can generate.

So with that said, Network Marketing is all about creating a team of like-minded individuals who are looking to improve the quality of their lives by, in most cases, creating financial freedom.

The way to reach your individual financial goals in your own home-based business is to focus on assisting those on your team in reaching their income goals.

That’s right!  If you focus on assisting those on your team in reaching their goals, you will automatically reach your income goals.

That doesn’t mean that you don’t set income goals for yourself on a weekly or monthly basis.  Absolutely do that!  What it does mean is your achievement is based on the achievement of others.

You are creating a network of team members who are looking to achieve whatever they’ve set for themselves.  You are the leader who is there to guide them toward success.

Notice I said “Guide them to their success.” 

You are not in the business of building their business for them, but you are in the business of assisting to point them in the right direction so that they are learning and growing into a duplication of you, which means they are familiar with the process and could do it with or without you.

You are in the business of letting them listen and learn from you as you handle a 3-way call or do a team training session.

Along with focusing on assisting your team members to build their checks, there are other exciting ways and impactful ways to come from a position of contribution, whether talking to team members or anyone else during the course of the day.

• Smile. Seems like such a little thing, but most people don’t.

• Give compliments.

• Give recognition where due.  People love to feel appreciated.

• Be kind

• Be patient

• Be encouraging

• Be the example for others to follow

Creating profitable results in network marketing is indeed, a team sport!

That about does it for today… I look forward to sharing with you again very soon.

There are two ways of spreading light …To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it. ~ Edith Wharton ~

Have you ever stopped to really think about the fact that there is an abundance of  bad news, cynicism, negative feedback, and poor self esteem, within the lives of many of your partners, and how this is directly affecting their level of success in business?

It has a major effect, believe me. However, there is a way to move right past this hurdle.

Today we are going to dive right into a topic that is of utmost importance if you want to have a meaningful level of success in your home business NOW. Let’s talk about How To Become a Master At Empowering Others.

Empowering your “prosperity partners” is about “building them up” or it could also be in the form of “talking them up.”  As a business leader, you must become a master at empowering others because a strong confident team equates to a successful, prosperous organization of leaders.

When you speak to prospects about your business, products, and/or services, and opportunity, always praise your team leadership sincerely and often. It’s so amazing what a positive effect a simple, sincere compliment can have on people and their productivity.

When you empower your key people, whom are in or soon to be in leadership positions, you are in essence, building them up and establishing instant credibility and respect with your prospect; you’re also letting your prospect know, indirectly, that you have a positive support system on your team and that is available to assist them as well.

Your team will thrive from the heartfelt praise and when people feel good about themselves that higher level of self-esteem will carry over into all aspects of their lives.

It seems we’re very quick to point out flaws in others which will only serve to reinforce their self doubts…instead compliment them…give praise and encouragement!

When you, as the leader, portray a “can do” and an “I believe in you” attitude, miracles will occur within your organization. The positive synergy created within your team, will carry everyone associated with the team all the way to the top of the company.

Energy is contagious, so be sure the energy created on your team is inspiring and positive (remember, a winning mindset is the key ingredient).

Teach your team members to be accountable to themselves but more importantly to each other and to the team as a whole. When everyone shows up to support the presentation or to participate in the trainings, the message is a powerful message of unity and teamwork.

When one or more team member’s makes excuses, week after week as to why they keep missing important team events, you, as the leader must confront them. Confronting others doesn’t have to be a painful experience because it is an opportunity to guide them to get back on track and to remember their goals and their importance to the team.

When confronting someone, be sure to point out two or three positive characteristics about the person being confronted and then communicate how important team support is to the overall goal of the team.

Explain to them what their role is within the team and how their prosperity partners are counting on them. Have all constructive conversations privately and make sure you maintain your positive, “we can do it together” attitude throughout.

I believe you!
