What Could We Possibly Learn From A Tree? Tap Root….

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Welcome back to my third and final post from my time with Mr. Randy Gage just a few days ago.  In case you missed my last two (2) blog posts with words of wisdom from Mr. Gage then I encourage you to quickly go back and take 5 minutes and read them.  They will fill in the background for this blog post.

To recap, I summarized Mr. Gage’s thoughts on “Duplication” and on “Culture”

Well, let’s get to today’s lesson…. “Tap Root”

“Tap Root” is a strategy or a necessity for the success of your organization and of course, your personal successes.

The Tap Root is the longest, deepest root that gathers all of the nutrition and moisture for a tree.  The lifeline of the tree in other words.

So, how does this apply to Network Marketing?

It goes back to the idea of creating “Culture”.  If you have a new person come into your organization, and whether a personal enrollee or otherwise, you need to help them.  You need to go deep into your organization…. Basically the bottom and help grow.  Doing this is called “tap rooting”.

Think of the ripple effects…. You are now working with someone who is deep in your organization…. Which means there are hundreds or perhaps thousand above them that notice new growth.  Psychologically, what do you think this will do for those about the individual you are personally helping?

It is obvious it will bring about some excitement especially in those who might otherwise be idle….

So, it does two (2) things. It gets business moving more or moving again and secondly it creates that “culture” I spoke of in the last blog post.  If you do this as a leader, you will have others do the same…

I think that there is a word for this…… hmmmm let me think…. Oh yeah!  It is called “Duplication”

I will leave you with two things :

First and foremost, start working with those individuals who are deep in your organization, those the truly need your help and get them going and secondly if you enjoyed this read, then comment would be appreciated as well as some syndication love….

Cheers  – Steve

Culture… And We Are Not Talking About Yogurt Here!

Monday, June 21st, 2010

In my last blog post I made mention that I had the pleasure of being in a workshop with Mr. Randy Gage and 25 other professionals.  He shared with us his personal story and then jumped right in and encouraged us to think about the concept of “Duplication”.

I don’t want to tell the whole story again but basically, “Duplication” for some appears to be nothing more than a myth.  However, coming from someone who has 31 years experience in the marketing industry, Mr. Gage would argue otherwise.

So, today I want to move onto Culture.  Culture and Duplication go hand in hand.  Culture deals with setting the tone or setting the pace if you will.  You, as a Leader, need to take charge and create the “Culture” that will benefit your organization, your business so to speak.

How do we do this?  How do we create the culture that we want?  Well, you need to be consistent.  You need to do daily or at least 5 days per week of consistent, results producing activities.

Spending time on social sites like Twitter and Facebook do have their place but in most cases do not produce the results that you want.  It can be very effective as a platform to build relationships but until you get people on the phone or meet them in person then hiding behind the computer will not get you what you want.

Creating culture is all about finding those who are serious and locking arms with them and helping them get what they want…. Helping them get the success that they desire.  Bottom line as Mr. Gage explains, in the network marketing industry, ”we get paid on the successes of those we help”.

It needs to be about “US” for Duplication, that is, work on our skill-set or our Personal and Professional Development.  This will allow us to be better equipped to create a “culture” and to help keep others on track to reach their goals for success.

You don’t want to have to convince people to work.  They either get it or they don’t.  Mr. Gage had another great comment and that was, “Don’t convince minds, capture hearts”.  Easy to accomplish if you create culture from the very beginning with your organization.

If you do not have a culture or a system in place for you personally let alone as part of the business itself then you will simple be going in circles chasing your tail.

My next blog post will further discuss culture and the concept of “Tap Root”

Two things I ask that you do:

One, would be to sit down and take 30 minutes and think about the culture that you are currently creating in your business and does it need to be re-visited?

Secondly, if this resonated with you then comments, feedback and sharing with your network would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers – Steve

One Of The Best In The Industry

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

One Of The Best In The Industry…..

If you are presently involved with, were at one time, or are looking to get involved with Network Marketing, then this blog post should resonate with you.

You see, I was fortunate, VERY fortunate to be in a conference room with 25 others for 3 hours with Mr. Randy Gage. Yes, you read that correctly…. 25 other individuals. If you don’t know who he is, google his name or visit his website at http://randygage.com

He could easily fill a room in a big center with hundreds of Professionals and charge handsomely for his knowledge but he did it for FREE. Now I am not here to tell you about my opportunity, I am here to share with you “generic” information that I learned from Mr. Gage recently and he did it for FREE.

Why is this a big deal?

Well, he used to train Professional Network Marketers, for hundreds and thousands of dollars for weekend leadership training seminars. He did that for a number of years before getting into his latest and last MLM company. Of which he has been building and training other for the past 5 years.

Does he need to train people? NO. Does he need the money? NO. Could he charge his team and all those in this company thousands of dollars for his Expertise? YES. However, he does it for Free

So, I want to share with you some of his ideas and insights into this industry of which he has been a part of for 31 years! This will take more than one blog post so here goes….

One of the very first things he did was talk about “Duplication”.

Is it real or simply a myth?

The underlying message is that Duplication begins with us. That is right, duplication starts first and foremost with us.

Network Marketing, no matter what the company or compensation plan is 99% of the time explained with “circles” and be it a matrix, unilevel, binary, quadra plan, etc…. it is all about circles and guess who is always at the top of your organization and in the very first circle? It is YOU.

So, Duplication which is real by the way, starts with YOU. How do we work on YOU? Very easily… It all starts with Personal Development…

I know this is no secret to many of you reading this but how easy is it to work on YOU? You NEED to start your day with PD. It could be exercise, reading, meditation, etc. but the most important part the we need to understand is that you need to control your attitude and your mindset and if you do this, your day will flow so much better than if you rush out of bed and rush to work, etc, etc, etc.

So here are my challenges for you today…. Begin to work on yourself. Begin to work on YOU. Go buy a book or go to your Public Library and sign out books on Personal Development, begin exercising, get your head right and do this in the early hours of the morning… get up 30 minutes earlier each day and you will begin to see results almost immediately.

Secondly, if you enjoyed this post, share it with your network and leave comments. I would love to hear your feedback. Stay tuned for more great Education to come as a result of my time with Mr Randy Gage. I will be discussing topics such as Culture, Getting Uncomfortable and Your Productivity….

Cheers – Steve
