Simple on its surface. I want to ask, "is it"?
I want to propose that "what we do" can transform lives that go well beyond the "Sign Up & Try It" model of business builder recruitment. This needs to be postured within a framework that people know what they are signing up for (and) if they are sincerely committed to getting from where they are - to where they want to be.
The graphic above speaks to "what it takes". In a sense, it is the bitter pill of reality. It is a framework that does not sugarcoat the fact that "life transformation" is possible, however, it requires taking necessary steps to gain a full understanding and appreciation "how to get there". Said differently, it takes learning and effort that results in a change in life circumstances.
What we do is wonderful. If you are new, you will come to know and embrace this. In its leadership philosophy - in its consumer benefit - in its overall worthiness. However, the use of the platform requires a major shift in thinking and behaving. People's success in benefitting from the platform requires making a successful transition from "how they used to do things" to build a business "how they structure their time" in inviting others to use the platform. Then, it goes one level deeper...
I contend that the most critical aspect of making any business work is a well-reasoned on-boarding and engagement "experience" for new members. In other words, people need to be "started right". They need the information and tools to be comfortable in making their first purchase... and at the same time they need to understand how their participation fits into the larger context of "life transformation". The following four parts make up this whole.
Financial Literacy
This is on two levels. First, people need to understand how the financial aspects of any platform work.
Second, people need to understand the "big picture" of the earning potential. This has implications in developing a strategy that will first result in parallel income, leading to replacement income. When someone achieves the milestone of equaling their income, at this point, they will be in the position to be making major life decisions in terms of their job or career.
In order to facilitate the exchange of information necessary, we have developed this Onboarding Tool. This tool also addresses other factors as they relate to the framework of transformation. The following four constructs are foundational to the Onboarding Process, however, for purposes here, they are just touched upon.
Values Assimilation
It goes without saying that the values normally thought of: work ethic, transparency, honesty, integrity, collaboration, decency, respect... are set as standards and met by expectation. This is true of any community that understands the importance of creating a culture in which everyone is valued for what they bring to the table and helping everyone achieve the level of success they aspire to.
Knowledge and Skills Acquisition
In order to be an earner, you need to be a learner. The more you know, the more people you teach, the more money you will make. The Law of Compensation tells us that you will be paid in direct proportion to the value you offer.
This can apply to many areas, but the bottom line is that it means time invested in acquiring skills and knowledge on the front end, and teaching these same things to others on the back end. Again, the more people you teach, the more money you make. In this sense, you are paid to be an educator, you are paid to be an accountability partner, you are paid to be a homework assigner, coach, mentor, support system. All of these are skill sets. At the end of the process, you are paid to be a Professional vested with the responsibility to nurture others to Professionalism.
Lifestyle Adaptation
I say this in many places in many ways. The single biggest obstacle that prevents people from succeeding in a home business is their inability to integrate change into their lives. As stated previously in this article, this is on two levels. First, in modifying behavior and sharing the platform at every opportunity. Second, committing the time to learn and teach... in other words... hours invested. In the Getting To Know Each Other resource, many of these lifestyle "issues" are attempted to be uncovered and addressed - to the extent that they can be impediments to success.
Life Transformation is possible.. There are costs associated with your time and the sacrifices you will inherently need to make. The question for anyone is whether you are willing to make the sacrifices necessary. Are you willing to "do what it takes"?
