Here is the final installment and probably the greatest determining factor when learning to sponsor new reps into your business. The word ACT is the a great root to follow. It makes up many other words. Active, Action, and lastly Activity. This is where we step out of the thinking stage of our business and move(literally)into the doing stage.
Like anything, a snowball effect is created when we begin to invest in the actions that will either propel us forward, or invariably construct out ruin.
I am currently reading a wonderful book called The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. Darren is the publisher of Success Magazine and is a what I would call an achievement coach. I do not receive any moneys from the promotion of this book, but I feel it is a wonderful resource that can help identify what our sticking points are in the pursuit of our own success.

The Right Activity

So much time tends to be wasted when you decide to embark on building your own business. Before you had a boss setting your schedule, and now you are literally the captain of your own ship. Trouble is, the wind tends to blow different directions every day and we can become victims to it.
There are certain activities that can help build up the leader in you.

1. Start your day reading 15 min. of something life affirming

You can either have bacon and eggs for breakfast every day, or you can have high fiber cereal with fruit. You decide which is better for you. The same goes for how you will deal with a “no” or a “yes.” If you are in a balanced place from the beginning of your day, you are more likely to create activities that will feed your productivity instead of your procrastination. Write an affirmation and put it in present tense. When you see it, you will become it.

2. Make prospecting calls

Believe it or not, I hate it as much as anyone, and I love to talk to people.  The difference is that we must go through the little fire of anticipation to come out the other side.  Here is a little tip.  As much as you feel you will perish from this process, you won’t.  I have made countless calls to prospects and team members and found like the old riding the bike adage purveys, it gets easier.  The 300 pound gorilla is the greatest killer of your financial freedom. Even though I love the internet for being able to reach out to hundreds of thousands of people. It can become a crutch for us all.

If you have leads that you know are waiting for your call,  or even if they aren’t, connect with them. Get in, dare I say it, a conversation! The worst thing that could happen is they hang up in 10 seconds. That is one less person on your list that wasn’t interested in changing their life you didn’t have to deal with. Believe me, as an actor the greatest gift I have is that I will repeat something so many times until it feels natural. You will always improve at something, the more you do it.

3. Get out of the house

If you want to be a networker, go out and network. Be in the midst of people. I’m not saying that you tackle people in malls, but the whole point to our business is to get out from behind the desk! You can do this business from anywhere! I love David Wood. He does half his webinars from the porch of his Costa Rican house. I am of the mind that in order to change your perspective, change your geography.

You can also connect with a team member. Someone brought you in. I’m sure there are certain initial or ongoing tasks that can be tackled. If you do them together, you get to go to lunch! And lunch time is ANYTIME and ANYWHERE you want it be.

Thanks for following through with this trilogy. I have a tendency to write more than less. I hope that this these tips proved helpful.

If you found value in any of these blogs, please re-post, tweet, digg, stumble, or anything else that gets it out there. Leave your websites so that I can visit and share comments with everyone as well.
Remember, every day is an opportunity to growth, hope, and change.

Choice is something can ignite fire or flame out.  Choose what your direction is.

And stick to it.
