It is really amazing what children can teach us without really even being able to talk clearly. Every day I learn something new or a lesson from my past is brought up again from my kids. This is mainly MLM lessons from my two year old!
Lesson #1 Don’t Ever, Ever Give Up!
This is something my two year old teaches me daily. She knows that she is two when we ask her but she has not been able to master showing she is two with her fingers. Today she did it in a creative way using her forefinger and her pinky. She still tries to do the bunny ears two. She will have me show her time and time again. Sometimes I even catch her practicing on her own. She has not given up yet and she keeps getting closer each time she tries.
This is so true in your MLM business as well. It is ridiculous to think that you will be able to create a huge down line with no previous experience. It will take lots of practice. You will also find your own creative ways to find successes along the way. As long as you keep trying and learning from those who have done it already you will get there!
Lesson # 2 Say “I do it” several times a day.
My two year old says this many times a day. She wants to take more responsibility each day. She wants to put her own clothes on. Sometimes they look a little funny but she is able to get them on. She is adamant about learning through doing. She does not want to watch. She wants to try it herself. Sometimes she can do it and other times she ends up asking for help.
In your MLM business you need the “I do it” mentality. Your mentors and leaders can only teach you so much. The rest has to come from real life experience. Sometimes you will get stuck and need to ask for help. That is OK. You will learn more by applying yourself. Learn from your mistakes and grow is a fact of life. It seems like adults seem to forget that very important life concept!
Lesson # 3 when you throw a fit get over it with a cookie!
My two year old can throw a fit with the best of them. She will get instantly mad if something does not go her way. She has always thrown quite dramatic fits. The beautiful thing about her fits are that she gets over it and forgets. She does not mope around and complain. She moves on to the next thing. She is also learning that throwing a fit does not really get her anywhere and they are becoming less frequent.
This is priceless advice for your growing MLM business. Sometimes things will go badly. It is just a fact of life. If you need to throw a fit, make it quick and then get over it. No good will come from you moaning and groaning about what went wrong for the next month. As an adult we can learn from these experiences and grow. In life you will always be thrown curves in the road. It is not until you learn how to react to them appropriately that you will grow as a person!
Lesson # 4 Smile and laugh all day long!
My two year old is so full of life. She is a very happy little girl. She loves to laugh and have fun. Her smile and laugh can light up a room. It truly is contagious.
In your MLM business remember your team will catch your mood. Make it light and fun whenever you can. Smile and laugh many times a day!
Lesson # 5 Use your imagination!
The stuff my two year old comes up with is amazing. Her imagination is inspiring! She can be a mommy or a kitty in the same 5 minutes. She will create any place she wants to be and really act like she is there.
Again this is an area that adults tend to lack in. Use your imagination when you dream. Let it run wild once in awhile. If you try it you will catch yourself feeling what you are imagining. Do not be surprised if you catch yourself smiling! Imagination is important for MLM success. Yes it is true that a system makes your business more automated but it is your imagination that makes that system work just for you.
