The MLM Cause and Effect Principle
You find yourself late for an appointment...
traffic delays might be the cause and the effect is to reschedule the appointment.
The football game is delayed...
the rain is the cause and the game being started late or cancelled is the effect.
You join a MLM network to increase your financial security...
the cause is financial freedom and the effect is tangible money in the bank.
The Dalai Lama recognized cause and effect, saying, "Happiness is not something ready-made.
It comes from your own actions.
" In other words, whether you are pursuing happiness through your MLM or financial security through your MLM...
ACTION is require! MLM leaders can learn from cause and effect as it is a type of analysis that is used to determine outcomes and results of events, ideas and action.
In terms of being successful in your MLM opportunity, a leader must analyze what events cause momentum, what ideas are working and what ideas are not getting you to the end goal.
A MLM leader must take the right action at the right time to deliver financial success.
The next obvious question is what are the right actions to create the desired outcome in your MLM network? I would recommend that your first action would be to take a step back and assess the big picture of your current MLM business.
Ask yourself..
..
What makes you and your team members really, really, really happy? What are you currently doing that is providing levels of measurable success? Are you struggling against old patterns that are unproductive...
possibly dated training or simply going through the motions you were taught making you fell less confident or even rejected.
A second action to assess cause and effect in relationship to positive outcomes is to ask yourself if you are experiencing the "flow" of cause and effect.
Flow is defined as the mental state experienced by an individual when they are fully immersed in an action that creates energized focus, full involvement and desired success in the process or activity.
Flow and cause always starts in the mind with the thought process.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, is a Hungarian psychology professor who came to the US at the age of 22.
His claim to fame is his research on happiness and creativity.
In fact, Martin Seligman, former president of the American Psychological Association described him as the world's leading researcher on positive psychology.
However, being successful in a MLM network is more than "positive" psychology.
The book identifies ten components to create flow.
Here are four of the ten that can be used right now to analyze cause and effect in the MLM industry.
1.
Flow has clear goals that align with both one's skill level and abilities.
2.
Flow has the ability to merge awareness and action.
3.
Flow will direct and provide immediate feedback to help identify success and failure so that behavior can be adjusted as needed.
4.
Flow activity is intrinsically rewarding so there is effortlessness of action.
Now, assess your MLM efforts.
Are the current methods or actions that you are taking to grow your MLM network meeting these guidelines? If the answer is yes, congratulations! You have found your flow.
If no, it will be important for you to link your skills and abilities with efforts that are rewarding and provide the outcomes that you really, really, really want.
For MLM leaders wanting to "flow" to the next level, I would like to suggest a solution.
Take a look at technology as a method that can link your passion and fulfillment with unimaginable results.
Researchers identified that using technology and specifically the internet can create "flow" for MLM networks.
Technology, using the internet, can absorb and peak interest, can generate feelings of discovery to find and attain results, can allow for hours of immersed pleasure and solicits results.
Common activities that promote "flow" using the internet are searching (quality products, services or top ranked MLM networks), reading (reviews, expert opinions, learning from the "best of the best"), writing (blog, articles and MLM reviews) and networking with MLM industry leaders.
Within your MLM network, technology allows for effective training automatically, creates effortless targeted lead generation through automated systems and provides effective and efficient use of our most important asset...
time.
The cause and effect for the MLM leader is merging awareness of information and technology resources with action to achieve desired results.
Once the technology tools are used, the methods duplicated, MLM networks grow exponentially and financial freedom is achieved.
Here's to Financial Success!
