Do you wish you could get you downline to stay motivated?

Sometimes one of the reasons our downlines cannot stay motivated is because they often times will evaluate the leader to see if they can duplicate what they are doing. If you are one of those networkers who has two speeds, it is time to find a new gear. What I mean by that is this. Are you one of those people who is going like mad non-stop, from morning to night recruiting, calling, and promoting with your hair on fire, or are you one of those people who just can't get it started (i.e. your dead in the water)?

If you are the first rather than the latter then you are most likely teaching your people that you will do everything and anything to make your business work. The problem with this is that you are most likely doing things that your new downline should be learning how to do or doing for themselves (i.e. duplication). If you are not careful two things are sure to happen:

1. Your going to burn out and soon you will have depleted yourself of your natural enthusiasm, and energy - now your dead in the water, and that's no good!

2. Your downline will see that first you were doing the near impossible, and they were thankful of everything you were doing for them, but now you're burnt out; so they quickly say, hey that doesn't look duplicatable nor does it look fun - this is not for me thank you!

At the same time you don't want to do too little because inactivity weakens your Network Marketing muscles. When working your business strive for balance in your personal life as well as your networking career. Your downline needs to see that it is possible to build a business steadily and profitably, Think of your network marketing business in the terms of a Relay Race. If you recall, in a relay race the next runner is always moving forward but not at full speed, rather they are pacing themselves so that the other runner doesn't have to come to a complete stop to hand off the baton. It is the same thing in Network Marketing, by not burning out (i.e. standing completely still), you will be able to easily maintain consistent momentum as you run your own track of success.

Lead by example, and make sure your example is not only balanced but attractive to those who are looking at you as their role model, and future sponsor.
