Another great video from Perry Belcher on time management. He explains “How To Double Your Productive Hours is Any Day“. I love this guy’s energy.

Have you ever had a prospects telling you that they are not very interested because they “don’t have time“? I am sure you have. I know I have. Have you ever sponsored someone who was really excited to get started but only to find out after a couple of weeks that this person hasn’t started anything yet?

What most people do not realize is that the problem is not a lack of time, the problem is a lack of belief! Your role as sponsor and mentor is to have them believe in the system you have in place and help them achieve their goals.

The reality

The reality is that so many people get started in Network Marketing or MLM on an impulse. Remember, more than 90% of all purchases are emotional. This is no different. Some people are very sceptical and need a lot of time before deciding to get started and some people are ready to sign up immediately. This is a great feeling (your business is growing!) but remember you ALWAYS want to qualify your prospects! You have to make sure that these persons will have time and consistency to develop their business.

This is critical because Network Marketing is NOT a Get Quick Rich scheme. It is hard work. And make sure you check very diligently the opportunity of whoever tells you differently. If such a thing existed, everybody would be doing it already.

I met a lady who decided to get started with Network Marketing more than 6 months ago now and who was not seeing results. I went on to asking her questions about herself and her family and eventually she started to tell me how she had to go to work everyday, commute, take the kids to activities, do some house work, and the list continued for a while. I started to wonder how her sponsor was able to qualify her!

No matter how excited your prospects are, if you sponsor them and they end up not doing anything, it will frustrate them because they don’t see any results and it will frustrate you because you will not see any result!

A guaranteed system?

Is time the real problem? When you think about it, everybody have 24 hours a day. How come some people with families, full time jobs and some other activities actually become successful? Do they have more hours per day? NO.

Their secret? They believe that they will succeed and then they find the time to achieve that!

Imagine this situation. Someone start talking to you and tells you that this company, will guarantee that if you spend 1 hour per day, 7 days a week, you will make money within 6 to 12 months. Remember, it is guaranteed. Would you find this 1 hour per day to work on this business? I believe the answer would be YES!

The problem is not a lack of time, it’s a lack of belief!

Do you want your organization to grow and keep growing month after month? If so, your role is to make sure on a first place that you have qualified people really believing that they can do it! And they can!If you have system in place to help you do that. Some people often forget that in Network Marketing and MLM, you work for the people you sponsor and not the other way around. It is also true in the corporate world but most of the managers forget that. So take a good look at the company you are with and ask yourself these two questions :

“Is there a system in place that will help me grow my business by showing people how to do the same?”

“Do I believe that this system will help me grow my business?”

If the answer is no to either of these questions, well, I am sorry to tell you that you most likely picked the wrong company or you have the wrong mindset. Did you forget to ask the hard questions before you signed-up? Were you lied to? The bottom line is that it is time for a reality check. Go to your upline today and ask everything you have to ask.
