When you began your MLM business you probably started by making a list of people you know.  That is always a good start because you are only looking for a few Key People and it should come from those you Know, Like and Trust. 

I have always found that after making the list I prefer to categorize people because some on my list I wouldn’t want to work with.  That should not preclude you from sharing the product with them (I don’t believe anyone would be offended if you make some money because they made a purchase of something they’d never know about if you didn’t tell them!)  Everyone you know can benefit from the products or service, but they may not make a great MLM business partner or Team mates.  That is YOUR decision and it is important you understand the responsibility you have each time you choose to enroll someone on your MLM Team!

When your talking to people, you will find some are naturally a perfect fit for your MLM product/service and you just aren’t sure if they would make a good fit for your MLM Team.  In fact, they might be quite anxious to get started with your MLM Product and you aren’t necessarily ready to discuss a partnership with them.

The people with whom we surround ourselves have a great deal to do with what we become. This is an especially important consideration in our MLM business, where we come into contact with all sorts of characters — brilliant and motivated, brilliant but lazy, dull but dedicated, dull and lazy.

How’s 2008 going for you so far?

Have YOU set MLM Goals for the year?
Making good progress toward your MLM goals?
Are you on track to meet your January projections?
Are you ready to tackle February’s commitment?

If your results aren’t where you want them to be – or worse, if you don’t have any  idea whether or not you’re on track – then it’s a matter of ACCOUNTABILITY

I’m a champion goal-setter. I have an MLM Game Plan that takes me out to the year 2015. I know how to translate my Big Goals into weekly and daily activities.  I know several of my other Team members who do the same.  Do YOU? Read the rest of this entry »
