Why should you focus on building a team? It’s pretty simple. Building an organization is the ONLY way that you will ever achieve TRUE freedom in your network marketing business. Yes, you can sell products and still earn additional income to assist your family.  However, true financial and time freedom is only accomplished with a team. Having a team allows you to increase and scale the impact that you can make in the world exponentially. The bigger the team you have, the bigger the impact that you’ll make in your business.  And because money is a reward for the amount of value you give to the world, of course, the more money you will make as well.   The Secret to Motivating Your Team is Leverage The problem, though, is that leaders are taught to focus on the wrong things in their business. As a result, they not only struggle growing their business, but they also struggle as a leader. Here is the secret I want to share with you when it comes to motivating your team – it’s called LEVERAGE! Leverage is having the power to influence a person or a situation to achieve a particular outcome. When it comes to creating leverage within an organization, you must understand these two concepts – WIDTH and DEPTH. Width refers to the people that you personally recruit into your business and this is the first thing that you need to focus when starting a business. Depth on the other hand, refers to the people that come into your team through the people that you personally recruited. Yes, what naturally happens over time is depth starts to develop but I want you to know that depth is your responsibility. You need to have that “chasing the business” mindset. As a leader, don’t wait for depth to happen.  Go out and make it happen for yourself. And trust me, when you can build depth in a team it does something very powerful.
