Systems Are Duplicable, But People Are Not!

This is the funny part of Network Marketing! Most people try to duplicate the one thing that is not duplicable.......THEIR SPONSOR.

Most people want to be just like their sponsor or the "guru" of their company or their idle in the industry and they invariably fail! Too much importance is being placed on wanting to be just like someone else or doing things just like someone else is doing or did it when the actuality of it all is that they should be duplicating the system.

The system never fails and that is what you should focus on and ensure that it is a REAL DUPLICABLE SYSTEM! With a REAL DUPLICABLE SYSTEM you can become a professional pointer....pointing people to where they can find all the answers and help to succeed
You can not sit for hours and hours teaching people all their is to know but if the system is set up correctly you can alleviate this problem.

A big mistake most people make in this business is getting depressed when their down line doesn't duplicate their actions to the level they expect. FREE yourself from these emotions! It is NOT your fault! You can only guide, mentor and coach people that want to learn. Through guidance and coaching and mentoring you send them to the places where they can find most of the answers......Now it is up to them to find the answers. I am not telling you to leave them in the cold. All I am saying is that you can not baby sit them and teach them everything and you most definitely can not build their business for them.

So understand clearly that - NETWORK MARKETING IS A BUSINESS BUILT ON DUPLICATION, BUT YOU ARE NOT DUPLICABLE! Ensure that you have a duplicable system where you can point people in the right direction. A system where people work together for the greater good of everyone so that all can have success. I have found such a system with all the criteria required to help you succeed in your Network Marketing business.

Hello Marinda!
I get pumped up just listening to encouraging words like these. I too am excited about being part of this team that is helping others be successful in their network marketing endeavors. I did not and still do not expect anyone to do my business for me and I hope everyone else out there realizes that being successful in anything in life takes effort and sacrifice. Find a system that can be duplicated and stick with it. Good Advice!

Mentoring with a servant's heart,
Eddie

Marinda,

You've brought up some very good points in your article. A lot of sponsors do get depressed when their downline members cannot duplicate their efforts. Reminds me of the old saying ...

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."

The only people that will "drink" the mentoring, guidance, and training you offer are those that are coachable.

Great post!

Great blog Marinda!Your right, people get so caught up in wanting to be just like the "head honcho." We all have our own niche.
I love being part of a team that works together for the success of all! It is an amazing and unique experience.
