Add Significance

Most network marketers have the tendency to come off as pushy sales people, and offer people a dream without first building a relationship. They don't take the time to find out what their prospect's dream is before they start to promote their product or service.

As a professional network marketer your first commitment MUST be to your people, NOT to your personal gain. As a leader in the MLM industry it is essential for you to do everything you can to make your prospects and partners feel so valued and cared for that they will be loyal to you forever. Give them the personal attention and respect that they deserve.

You add significance to peoples lives by simply encouraging them to identify and act on their dreams...

“Moishe Rosen teaches a one-sentence mental exercise that is an effective tool in helping a person identify his dream. He asks a person to fill in the blanks:


If I had __________________________________,

I would ___________________________________.


The idea is that if you had anything you wanted – unlimited time, unlimited money, unlimited information, unlimited staff (all the resources you could ask for) – what would you do? Your answer to that question is your dream.

Everyone has heard the story of Isaac Newton’s discovery of the law of gravity after observing the fall of an apple. What few people know is that Edmund Halley, the astronomer who discovered Halley’s Comet, is almost single-handedly responsible for Newton’s theories becoming known. Halley challenged Newton to think through his original notions. He corrected Newton’s mathematical errors and prepared geometrical figures to support his work. Not only did he encourage Newton to write his great work, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, but he edited the work, supervised its publication, and financed its printing, even though Newton could easily afford the printing costs.

Halley encouraged Newton to act on his dream, and it added immeasurable significance to Newton’s life. Halley received little credit, but he must have gained satisfaction in knowing he had inspired revolutionary ideas in the advancement of scientific thought." Excerpt from Developing the Leaders Around You, by John C. Maxwell
