Early on in the evaluation process of joining a business, it is prudent and fair to evaluate your enroller. This is why we "preach" to anyone considering joining us is that you have to work hard at establishing your credibility and be worthy of being followed.
One lens to look at this is through in the title of this post. It is fair to consider how two people can "contribute to each others' success". In this context, please understand, you need to make a commitment to entering a relationship. You are "joining" a person and a community... not a "deal" to make money.
It is completely fair and reasonable to judge how you will "click" with the person who has introduced you. Hopefully, in them, you will glean a sense of integrity and truthfulness with a bit of an edge (a disclaimer) that what we do is not easy and is not for everyone. Otherwise, everyone would be doing it.
Our business is about the interdependence of a large group of people "buying into" a common set of principles and values. Beyond the "character-givens" of being a decent human being, this has to be about being "smart" and different. It is a new path clothed in a robe of goodness and guided by a moral compass with compassion for peoples' lives.
Our mission is to help people and their families. Recruiting and sponsoring people into anything is just the first step into a whole new world of possibility. Once this threshold is crossed, then the real work begins by helping people understand "what it takes" to be successful. This has to be done with cheerful accountability in terms of how those you work with invest their time. More specifically, what they are doing to enhance their skills, polish their credibility and introduce others to what we do.
It is a model of constant, incremental improvement - of yourself and on business-building activities. As such, this post is meant for both the enroller and the enrollee. If you do not "see" a positive role model and mentor, or if you do not see yourself as being a positive role model and mentor... this is a huge red flag.
Successful businesses do not "just happen". There is a ton of work and learning involved. In contributing to each others' success, you need to understand that it is fundamental to expect that new habits, new choices of how to invest hours of your day and an overall facelift of your lifestyle is necessary to achieve success.
If this is a bitter pill, it is better you know up-front and you should save your time - and put your aspirations on hold. But, to end on a positive, it is best that you join with someone you trust is going to be an effective mentor and team builder and who can model the habits necessary to grow a successful home business. At the end of the day, this will enable you to contribute to each others' success.
