It sounds like your mentors have also been great cheerleaders, which is awesome to hear.
And knowing how encouraging and inspiring you are, I have no doubt that you are a fantastic mentor for your team!

Loved that saying people will work harder for praises than raises. So true in many cases!
I’m glad you liked the blueprint and I really hope it encourages others to celebrate the so called losses with their teams.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

Thank you and yes I think people are afraid to let people know straight up that business is not easy and there are going to be setbacks.

I tried to leave a comment on your blog today and there is an error with your captcha preventing comments.
I looked for a contact page and couldn’t find one :(
I then looked for a Twitter user-name to let you know and I couldn’t find that either.
I hope you receive this reply.

I’m glad my post gave you a prompt to get things set up again as it really does make things easier.
LOL re those silly companies banning MLM related newsletters. We still pay them!

This is awesome advice! I actually had a step-by-step system like that set up for my nutritional business. It worked like a charm until the autoresponder I used shut me down because they didn’t allow MLM related newsletters anymore. Bummer!

I need to set it up again. So thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for your incredible feedback!

If there is one thing that doesn’t change between childhood and adulthood, its the need for encouragement and support.
As you’ve said, it was the positive consistent feedback from family and relatives that helped us to succeed in crawling, walking and then running.
The same principal was also carried through when we had negative experiences. When we didn’t get the outcome we had hoped for, we were still reminded of our brilliance!
Unfortunately many people that didn’t have this kind of reenforcement in the early stages, struggle to thrive down the track.

I’ve always believed that if you create an environment where people people feel like they are winning, you will have incredible loyalty in your business.

P.S. I was inspired by the commitment you and John made last week. I’ll be checking on you :)

What you shared in this post is a phenomena, a method, an experience we all have in common from the very earliest days of our lives. Yet few of us ever stop to consider the impact it had on us or think about how we might use the valuable lessons it teaches.

This process is so effective that virtually everyone who uses it succeeds mightily.

What am I talking about? The experience of learning how to walk.

While our parents, relatives and friends didn’t have a written blue print — an excellent recommendation by the way for the things we want to teach young people and adults alike — they did provide us with plenty of immediate, consistent, repetitive and positive feedback . . .

*The first time we rolled over
*The first time we crawled
*The first time we held on to something and pulled ourselves up off the floor
*The first time we took a step
*The first time we put a few steps together
*The first time we walked without the help of anything at all
*The first time we ran

We didn’t shrink from fear because we knew we were surrounded by people who loved us, cared about us and would protect us.

We learned by watching, by imitating and by taking someone’s hand as they helped us acquire the skills that we were born to master.

If we apply the same kind of thinking and caring to helping people with all the “firsts” they’re going to experience as they build their business, chances are they’ll have the same kind of success they had with walking.

It appears you’ve created a similarly powerful success path for your business partners, too. If your recruits and other down line members follow your guidance, I have no doubt they’ll be as successful as you are.

Enjoyed this post very much and look forward to your next one.

PS Thanks for the encouragement and recommendation you provided Tuesday night. . .I’m all over it!
