Tried To Help Them Break Free
Real leaders see things before they happen. We just have to realize that everyone won't be able to see what we see. Today I have been reflecting on when I first started practicing Attraction Marketing. I attempted to tell my down line about it because I was excited and knew that it would get theme where they were trying to go faster than the 80's methods our business's organization were telling us to use at Hotel meetings, and conferences. You know what type of conferences I'm talking about. The kind that are never in your state, and cost you $1,000 to attend if you are married and $500 if you are single. This is because you have to pay for travel, food, conference tickets, and lodging. When you get to the conference you really get nothing out of it because all they do is pump you up on hype. They never really tell you the details of how to build your business. Really all they give you is a bunch of success stories with no detail or little stories that ultimately just tell you to check up line and never give up. They actually preach that you should take bill money to come to the conference if you can't afford to attend , and it will benefit you later. When you get back home you are further in dept than when you left. I thought they told you when you joined this business it would help you make extra money not suck you dry? Thank God I was able to break out of the brain washing that only made my up line diamonds organizational business richer. Once I searched for a better way and found it of course I wanted to share it with my team. I only want the best for them. However, for various reasons they seemed to have chosen not to embrace Attraction Marketing at that time. Has this or did this happen to you?
Brain Washed
Lets face the facts in order to understand our down lines position we need to place ourselves in their shoes. Now I know that "Brain Washed" is harsh terms. However, we must admit that to some degree when we got in our business's we were brain washed. I know I was now that I look back on it. Some of us were fortunate to snap out of it. Others like our down line may be finding it hard to leave the known of the knife to a gun fight chasing family and friends methods to embrace the online Attraction methods. You have to be brain washed in order to take all that rejection with little to no results coming from it. Person after person telling you no on the phone, prospects constantly no showing you at meetings, losing contact with family and friends due to your fanatical desperate approach to make money in your business. For example to remedy the loss of contact with friends, family, and acquaintances they tell you that your real friends are in this business. Even worse they tell you that you will earn the right to be certain peoples friends at higher pin levels. I'm not sure about how you feel but I know I never wanted to have to earn the right to be any one's friend. To me that's not a real friend if our friendship is tied or was created by how much money we can help each other make. That's just one of the many examples of the brain washing. Remember this examples of brain washing when your down line that was introduced to the business by old methods does not seem to want to embrace Attraction Marketing. They don't want to venture into the unknown because since day one in your business their minds have been molded to think this is the only way to build this business. They feel that if they just keep trying,stay consistent with the same thing, and keep positive one day their revolving door business will lock, and their team will really grow. I read a book that says it is a "fool" who keeps doing the same thing expecting different results. That's why I found a better way, without checking up line. They may of tried to discourage me finding a different way to build the business.
Scenario #1
There are two situations of down line not embracing attraction marketing that I endured when I started sharing my findings with them. Maybe you have encountered this or will encounter this. Perhaps you have a super star down line who has a big chunk of your business team sponsored by them. They may be satisfied with the way they are currently building the business. They aren't really mentored by you. They are actually mentored by one of your up lines because they are in another state. They feel that they should only do what that up line who is mentoring them tells them they should do verbatim. You may of tried to tell them about Attraction Marketing their business online, and they quickly ask you how is it working for you? How much have you made with this in comparison to the current way of marketing that I still use? You just started less than 90 days ago so the results aren't that significant yet. You know that it takes about 90 days to get your web of content up online, but they don't understand that. When you try to explain this to them they decide to stick with your up lines mentoring of calling friends and family, and cold contacting people they meet.
Scenario #2
The other situation I dealt with was people that were local to me in Houston just never got started with it. You know these type well. When you are meeting with them they talk a good game, and say they are going to follow through with the training and reading the ebooks. Sadly when you meet with them or talk with them again they have not done anything that they said they would do. Their either unmotivated, feel its to much, to hard or really never intended to do it in the first place.
Moving On and Starting From Scratch
In both of these situations you can not afford to frustrate yourself or let them hold you back. If they ever want your help or need your help they will contact you. When they contact you help them. However, please make sure they are serious by requiring some action from them so you know they are seriously ready to start applying Attraction Marketing to their business. Start attracting new down line from the Attraction Methods. I guarantee you won't have the same struggles that you had previously with people that joined your business the old way. Ultimately you have to as I had to just move on like you are the only one in your business again and do everything the new way. Don't hold on to any of the old methods, because they will hold you from progress. Let prospects, and customers come to you through your online content. It won't be long before people are joining your business, and buying your products from you on auto pilot! If you would like to try the system I used to learn Attraction Marketing go here.
