How To Grow In The Quicksand of MLM LeadershipHow To Grow In The Quicksand of MLM Leadership
Quicksand is a scary place to be. You’re stuck in it, and you’ll never get out unless someone pulls you out from the outside. It’s not a pleasant prospect for most people, but that’s how MLM leadership can feel sometimes. If you’re an MLM leader who feels like your downline isn’t growing or if your sales are flatlining, then this blog post may help!

1. Stop focusing on what your downline is doing wrong.
If your downline isn’t doing the right things, it’s easy for a leader to become discouraged. You might think they’re not working their business properly, they don’t have proper goals or they aren’t trying hard enough. But if you focus on what’s wrong with them, then you will only feel more discouraged and that discouragement will show up in both your words and actions toward your downline. This means you need to start focusing on what is going right instead of dwelling on what isn’t going right!
2. Focus on how many people are joining your opportunity each day.
Downlines typically grow when new prospects join who add value to the team by sharing resources already available in the group such as products, skills, time and leadership. So instead of focusing on how slow your downline is growing, focus on the things you’re doing to help them grow. This includes:
3. Stop and think about the reason(s) why you became an MLM leader in the first place.
The reason you joined a network marketing company was probably to make more money…but what will happen if no one joins under you? The answer is simple…your income will eventually dry up and even become nonexistent! So before you start focusing on everyone else’s problems (which won’t help them or you), take some time to figure out what you can do right now that’ll reduce those fears and give yourself a chance to build sustainable wealth through residual income.

4. Improve your skillset.
One way to become a better MLM leader is to improve your skillset. You can do this by reading books, attending seminars or webinars, listening to audio programs or podcasts and even talking to other leaders in the industry. The more you know, the easier it’ll be for you to lead your downline in the right direction!
5. Get organized.
When you’re organized, everything just seems to flow better…including your business! So take some time to get yourself organized by creating a business plan, setting goals, updating your company prospect lists, setting up a prospecting system and organizing your product catalog. If you become more organized, it will make everyone’s lives easier…including yours!
6. Ask for help from someone who has been where you are now.
As weird as it may sound, asking for help is one of the best ways to get out of quicksand! You can do this by attending training events or conferences that’ll enable you to connect with industry experts and other experienced leaders who know exactly what you’re going through right now. These people have already walked a mile in your shoes so their advice will be helpful and more realistic than the advice from those on the outside looking in.
7. Take a break.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or discouraged, then it might be time for you to take a break. This could mean taking a day off, going on vacation or even taking a few days off to just relax and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit. When you come back, you’ll be refreshed and ready to tackle whatever comes your way!
8. Celebrate your successes.
When things are going well, it’s important to celebrate your successes! This will help keep you motivated and moving forward when the going gets tough. So make sure you take some time to reflect on what went well in your business during the past week, month or even year and give yourself credit where credit is due!
9. Don’t give up.
