The only way to create solid residual income is to build a big and loyal team. Believing you are right or wanting to be is a trap you can easily fall into. It is a natural human failing, but it comes from the negative emotions and old conditioning. It isolates you from really connecting with those around you. Worse than that, it stops your business partners from developing their full potential.
* Confident you are right
This usually comes from old conditioned opinions. 'Women are over-cautious drivers'; 'Teenagers are so pig-headed'. Feelings like that sabotage all your relationships, not least those with your Network Marketing colleagues. Look at what is behind them and then let it go. You will lose your abrasive edges and people will warm to you. That's good for all your human interaction.
* Get rid of bad thinking
One of the best ways to get rid of negative stuff is to focus on the positive. One way to do this is to look into their soul. The vast majority of associates, prospects and family members aren't being devious. They are just doing what they believe in. If you can look at the other person and see the innocence behind their behaviour, then you can have compassion for them. As you fill your mind with positive emotions and start to look for the good in others - guess what? The good is what you will find.
* Why do my team do that?
They get things all wrong.....Don't go there! Maybe they think the same about you. There is no right or wrong way to build a business. Whatever works for someone and enables them to build good relationships with their downlines - if it can be duplicated - is cool. You might even learn something new yourself. After all once we stop learning, we're finished. If you approach everyone as if they have something to teach you, your team members will feel really validated.
* Celebrate everybody's differences
Variety is the spice of life. It would be a dull world if we were all clones of each other. Sure some people will mess up, but that's a great way to learn and they will be the stronger for it. We all get into grooves caused by past experience. When you see something happening that starts to get your hackles up, take a deep breath, step back and look for why it's a good thing. You might just be surprised to learn a new trick.
* Give unconditionally
Try and give, especially to your downlines who push your buttons. That is a tough one, but it can really turn a prickly relationship round into something good. Suspend your gut reaction judgement. Often we react from fear of how we think what that person is doing might impact on us or on others in the group. Let go of negative thoughts like that. Praise their efforts. They will feel great and you will too. Then if they do need guidance, they will be much more likely to accept it.
You will be amazed how giving to someone who challenges you can completely change your energy and feelings for them.
Building and nurturing a team in this industry is like no other. Think of it like bringing up kids; watching them go through all the stages of growth; finally flying the nest and becoming great leaders themselves. The bigger your team grows, the greater the challenge in managing it and the greater the rewards when you do it well.
