MLM Leaders are Created When an MLM Distributor Develops the Right People Skills
Most MLM
distributors around the world don't realize it, but the most critical factor of
their succeeding in network marketing and in life is their ability to get along
well with other people. It does not matter what your education level is, or the
experience you have in network marketing, it doesn't even matter how much money
you are generating right now. Unless an MLM distributor develops their skills
with people, they’re not going to achieve very much in business or in life.
"The
most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to
get along with people." - Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty-sixth President
of the United States.
Here is
the MLM leadership landscape: No two MLM distributors are the same, every distributor
is different. Each and every MLM leader has a different objective, a different
temperament, a different attitude, and a different viewpoint. It goes without
saying that a lot of times our differences can lead to conflict when we try to
work together. Conflict can show up in a lot of ways, such as:
- Tension
- Fear
- Anger
- Lack of appreciation
- Rejection
- Insecurity
Conflicts aren't just between distributors. We've got conflicts inside ourselves. We've all got needs and desires that compete with each other. We struggle with our own feelings about our background, our inadequacies, our fears, our missed opportunities, our past mistakes.
Somehow we've got to develop an understanding of what goes on inside ourselves and other MLM distributors around us. We need to know how and why a distributor gets discouraged and, just as important, how they get motivated and stay motivated to accomplish great things. We need to know how distributors, including ourselves, work.
"The capacity for getting along with our neighbour depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbour’s shortcomings as he is of his own." - Eric Hoffer, an American social writer and philosopher.
Just beware of one thing. Don't ever try to develop people skills so you can get your way with another MLM distributor. Instead, develop people skills in order to help other distributors and grow yourself as an individual.
Tip on how to get along with others: As an MLM leader, the first thing that you need to do is like yourself. Once you understand the following:
- Who you are as an MLM leader
- Why you have become the way you are as an MLM distributor
- Why you behave in a certain way as a distributor
As you become skilled in dealing with distributors, you'll discover that getting along with another MLM distributor doesn't always mean giving distributors what they want.
There are times you'll deal with down line who'll try to force you into a negative position and even take advantage of you if they can. People skills involve not only building positive, strong relationships, but also being firm when you need to be firm.
We've got to understand when to be firm and when to be gentle with an MLM distributor. Wisdom lies in knowing the difference. And we need skills in both directions.
It's absolutely essential that we learn to get along well with other MLM distributors. More opportunities are lost because relationships fail than for any other reason. It's not failures in technical skill or knowledge that most often destroy projects. Most of the time it's a failure to get along with a distributor; up line, MLM leadership, etc...
That's why MLM leaders all over the world are pouring time and money into training their down line in personal development; getting along well with other distributors. If this investment pays off for MLM leadership, think how valuable it could be for each MLM distributor as individuals.
Recommendation: Don't leave the responsibility of learning people skills up to the MLM leadership, invest in yourself.

Re: When did your entrepreneurism start?
- I sold my science fair project when I was 9 year old after I won 2nd place. Created crystals from lumps of salt that collected on a string. Cost less than a penny to make and got $1 a piece for them. Not bad profit margin but was too young to realize I was ripping anyone off at the time.
