Often, when I do a business plan call with a new consultant in my downline, they’ll ask me how soon I think they will start making money.
 
I completely understand why they ask – we all want assurance that we’ll get results quickly. It was no different for me when I got started.
 
But my reply to my new member is always the same: “Truthfully, I have no idea how soon you will get results. Because I don’t know your drive, your work ethic, your willingness to be coached or your ability to take action with what I teach you.”
 
I know the opportunity that I’m presenting to you, but I don’t know what you are going to do with it. That’s why it’s called an “opportunity”. What you are going to do with it is entirely up to you.”
 
But I also tell them this: “The less concerned you are about making money, the quicker you’ll get results.”
 
Meaning…?
 
Meaning you should only focus on two things:
 
1. Adding value to yourself.
 
2. Passing this value on to others.
 
“In plain English, please?”
 
Sure:
 
1. Focus on learning the skills. Become an expert marketer. Learn to generate and convert traffic.
 
Become really, really good at one or two marketing strategies (rather than trying to do too many things at once and becoming only mediocre at everything.)
 
Be committed to excellence. Be committed to always becoming better. A better marketer. A better leader. A better person.
 
Because everyone wants to work with and learn from the best.
 
2. Every time you learn something new, pass it on. It can be in the form of a blog post, a video, an article, social media…the options are endless.
 
When you pass value on to others, it automatically positions you as an expert and authority in their eyes.
 
This creates a teacher-student relationship between you and your prospect, which is EXACTLY what you want:
 
When your prospects see that you actually have something of value to offer them, they will keep coming back for more…
 
When they see that you have the answers to their questions, the solutions to their problems, they won’t just buy from you – they’ll buy from you again and again.
 
But – and this is SO key – they’ll only buy from you, they’ll only come back for more IF they sense that you are genuinely interested in helping them.
 
They won’t if they feel that you are “needy”, or “desperate” to make the sale.
 
And that’s the irony of it all:
 
The more you’re able to NOT worry about making money and rather focus simply on adding value to yourself and passing it on to others – selflessly giving of yourself – the more money you will earn.
 
Because then, you see, you convey self-assurance, strength, certitude, calm, belief…and that’s precisely the type of person everyone wants to work with.
 
That’s the man or woman who effortlessly attracts others into their business and their life. Simply because of who they ARE… Because they ARE that Leader everyone wants to follow.
 
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this… It’s human psychology, plain and simple.
 
Stop wanting it so bad, and it will come to you. Focus on giving, and you will get.
 
Do this…I mean, truly learn it, apply it, master it…and you’ll never have to worry about making money ever again…
 
In fact, money will come at you so quickly, so suddenly, you’ll be scratching your head wondering where it’s been hiding all this time.
 
 
 
 
Successfully,
