Why are you working with them?
Hey everyone, I’m just completing a coaching gym and I really need to make a point.
There is a huge difference between someone who says I will do this business and someone who is the CEO of their business. If you can’t get straight answers out of your downline reps as to what they are doing and how they are going to do it and when they are going to do it….are you working with someone who has made the mental leap from “getting into a business whatever that means” to someone who has store hours, and a clear calendar listing what it is they are doing and when they are doing it. Someone who clearly has stepped up to the plate and become a CEO. Why are you working with people who have not stepped up to the basics? Can you run a successful sustainable business without good business tools? How attractive is that?
Think about it..what are you putting up with. How much time are you wasting with those who haven’t got a clue and don’t want one. The issue isn’t they don’t have a clue by the way. The issue is they don’t want a clue. They don’t want a system to move things forward. Bless ‘um and move on.

What is the best way to “disconnect” (if you will) to those people who don’t have a clue and/or don’t want a clue? I’ve heard “bless ‘em & move on” before, but what is the technique to actually doing that…especially when the person comes back every few months, acting like they want to have a clue again. Thanks!

Hi Zanna
The best way I know to “move on” withoug upsetting or hurting anyone is to “build a bridge.” That means to:
1. compliment them with something that you like or admire about the way they do business or a trait they bring to the table that you think will be good for their business.
2. Then tell them you get that this is probably not the best time for them to build their business, because it’s tough for them to take action right now.
3. But when they’re ready to take action you’ll be right here ready to work with them
4. Then when they come back make sure you ask them what they think the first thing they need to do in order to move their business forward. This way you’ll know what they are about and what they are willing to do.
Zanna, I think this is a good question watch for something about this in my ezine. I’ll give it some time there. Also bring it to the call on Monday..Great discussion questions.
Thanks
Jillian
