Building Your Organization Vs. Working Your Business

I recently sat down with a nice gentleman I met at a networking event.  I was happy to meet with him, since he made an effort to meet with me and begin to establish a rapport.  Dan showed up a few minutes early and was dressed in a pleasing casual attire that reflected his relaxed but still professional attitude.  We greeted each other and proceeded to go and find a table at the coffee shop in Barnes and Noble.

It became clear to me that Dan takes his business seriously and is knowledgable in the products he has to offer.  What also impressed me was that he was not trying to “soft sell” me.  His first and foremost objective was to get to know me and what I have to offer.  And in the process he communicated to me what he does and the products he offers so that I can better serve him by way of quality referrals.

While speaking to Dan I couldn’t help but be impressed about his knowledge of network marketing.  He has certainly done his homework and as he stated to me, he can earn an income whether or not he has a downline or associates.  While he earns substantially more than I can with my customers I did notice a few differences.  One, while I earn smaller amounts of residual income, they grow as my customer base grows.  Secondly, as I grow my organization, it will make all the difference down the road, since whether I ant to work or not, I will still an income.

Of course, the amount I can earn is relative to how big I am able to grow my organization.  So, even if Dan does not grow his organization, he is able to earn substantial amounts of money in a the short term, however, if he decides to stop, so does the income.  On the other hand, although I am not earning close to what he earns per sale, in the long run, Dan will have to keep working just to equal my income.  All this while I am on vacation or just relaxing.

This is not compare one company versus another.  I actually really like and respect his company; I have purchased one of their products and regularly recommend the product to friends and family.

The difference lies in the way each of us approaches the business and what we both need at the present time.  I personally want to build a strong organization that will continue to flourish and grow long after I stop.  And I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.  Since I have started my organization has averaged 3 distributors monthly.  And this will grow exponentially as time goes by and I continue my efforts, and encourage my associates to do the same.

When you are looking for a company and sponsor to work with, investigate their motives and their philosophy.

My philosophy is to grow a strong organization and teach others how to do the same.  It is not impossible.  Anyone who is willing to learn, is coachable, and wants to change their current situation, can do it with the right sponsor/coach/mentor.

Plus, you need to know if the prospective sponsor has knowledge of current internet trends and techniques that help your business grow.

Dedicated to your success,
