MLM Achievers Attract Achievers

Are you an achiever and do you attract other successful achievers to your MLM business?

First, we need to be clear who you are before we identify who will be attracted to your MLM business. Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying "That which we elect to surround ourselves with becomes the museum of our soul and the archives of our experiences." In other words, to achieve success we need to surround ourselves with success. For MLM business owners that includes the MLM company, the people in the organization and the quality product or service being represented. Therefore, successful achievers attract successful achievers.

An achiever is defined as "having the ability to perform or carry out success; accomplish. To get or obtain by effort; to achieve victory or to bring about an intended result; accomplish some purpose or effect." In order for a MLM network to be successful, it must be filled with achievers willing to work hard to accomplish the established goal.

A second question you will need to ask yourself and ask every prospect you are working to recruit for your MLM team is... do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day? The Gallup research has

identified this as the most important question to determine success and job fulfillment. An achiever in your MLM business will do what they are good at all day, everyday... network.

However, the majority of the population in the workforce answer "no" to this question. Think about this... when someone goes through a "traditional" annual job performance review... do they focus on the positive statements/attributes that are listed or do most focus on and try to fix what was identified as a weakness. You are correct if you said most are conditioned to fix what was identified as "wrong." In fact, research validates that we are driven to fix our shortcomings.

In successful MLM networks, it is critical to manage our weakness but by learning from this research, the focus should always on what we do well and keep making that skill/talent better. In addition, we need to avoid spending most of our time trying to copy someone else or trying to develop a skill that we do not have. This becomes a very heavy load to carry as opposed to developing talent that comes naturally and that we have had success with in the past.

As an achiever, look beyond the tradition and be willing to blaze a new path in order to accomplish the task. Benjamin Franklin said, "Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?

A tool that I recommend to identify and help developed your personal strengths was developed in 1998 by the father of Strengths Psychology, Donald Clifton and the team of scientists at Gallup. Together they created the online strength finders assessment called StrengthsFinder 2.0. The tool is rooted in more than 40 years of research and has helped millions discover and develop their natural talents. The book, "Now, Discover Your Strengths" explorers the 34 identified themes and spent more than 5 years on the bestseller list creating global conversations in the business industry. Achiever is the first strength on the list.
