Hurry Up And Wait to Win the MLM Game

MLM success is a mix of patience and urgency. When you know you’ve made the right choices, you can be patient.

At the same time, you have to act with great urgency. Your team must see good things happening, or they’ll look for greener pastures. You have to have their belief.

Once you have their belief that the deal’s going to work, you can then talk about patience--- the need to be in it for the long haul. At the same time, stress the need for their consistency and urgency.

Urgency starts with beeline focus. Many people feel no need to hurry, or to work fast and focused. But the problem with that thinking is that you don't know the future. We’ve all seen how life can change in an instant. You get no guarantees.

We all know this, yet sometimes lose sight of it. That’s why YOU must preach URGENCY to your team and guests. You’ll know when you’ve mastered this when people are motivated. And you’ll make a lot of money for that skill.

At the same time, coach them to think long-term. They have to act urgently, yet follow a well thought-out plan.

You have to walk the talk. People need to see you as the role model for “patient urgency.”

We all have bad habits to overcome. The greatest urgency for your MLM future is to change your bad habits. Identify the worst of them, and then map out a plan to change them NOW.

One of the most helpful tools you’ll ever find is Success In 10 Steps by Michael Dlouhy. You’ll learn little things that make a big difference. If you can read that free book and apply its principles, it will change your life in a big way. And the biggest change you can focus on is putting more urgency into your MLM opportunity. That's where you’ll get the biggest, fastest payback.
