Literally: Our Business is Others' Success

Your main responsibility as a business owner (in our business) is to do all you can to ensure people [those you rely on for their monthly participation in your on-going income] have success.  This happens on a number of levels, the most fundamental one is ensuring you develop a relationship and you engender a culture that includes a sense-of-belonging.

Servant leadership obviously involves serving.  There is nothing more important than serving others and ensuring they are on track and have the skills and habits to apply on a daily basis.  We are in the people development business.  If "our" people are not evolving and gaining competencies (incrementally, day by day, week by week) then our business(es) will be made of sticks, and not of bricks.  (Three Little Pigs analogy, intentional)

The tools of the trade in this regard are that of any other relationship.  Phone calls, emails, texts, participation group training, getting on company calls.  You need to get comfortable with asking the question, "What did you do to build your business today?" in the context of how can I help?  Nothing happens in our business without "activity: and doing the things that will get what we do in front of other people for them to evaluate.

Your success is in direct proportion to the success of the people you support and work with.  Your income is in direct proportion to the amount of money the people you are working with are earning. The size, stability and total dollar value that passes through your group is the asset you are working to build.  However, please understand this point:  economies are made of people.  People drive business. If people go away, the money goes away... or said differently, everything is people-dependent.

You are building your own economy that is independent of your job, the State, or the National economy (other than owing taxes on what you earn).  Our business is a people development business. If we engender competence, if you and I are competent and can pass along what we know - the money is a by-product of this value you bring to the equation.
