First
and foremost: Be a friend! and be a mentor!
SFI's
job is to provide the infrastructure for building
your business. YOUR JOB, once those individuals have
joined the team, is to provide the personal,
one-on-one relationship.
Make
sure every AFFILIATE in your group has gone through
the SMART
START
program at least once. Assist them after they've gone
through this information! Make sure their questions
are answered. GETTING STARTED IS THE HARDEST PART
OF ANY JOURNEY. Make sure that you are there to
offer friendly guidance and support as they start out
on their journey.
Note!
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, at least half of your
affiliates will NOT become successful.
This
is not reflection of you or SFI. It's just the hard,
cold reality that most people will not make the
commitment and do the work necessary to succeed.
Accept and acknowledge this.
ALL
WE CAN DO IS GIVE PEOPLE A TRACK TO RUN ON. WE
CANNOT, HOWEVER, DRAG THEM ACROSS THE FINISH LINE!!
They have to want it.
In
short, support your affiliates, be there for them as
much as you can (especially at the start), but don't
waste time trying to get people to do something who
clearly aren't motivated.
Instead,
and this is VERY IMPORTANT -- when you identify
someone on your team who IS motivated, who IS willing
to learn and apply themselves to achieve success,
CONNECT WITH THEM WITHOUT DELAY! These are diamonds
in the rough! Make sure they have everything they
need. Support them with passion! If you do so,
someday they will make you rich!
