As coaches we are taught to dream, and by dream they mean
DREAM BIG! You hear of crazy rank advancements, people paying off their homes
in a short period of time, and the list goes on and on. I am sure by now you
have established a few dreams of your own. One mistake people tend to
repeatedly make is that they focus all their attention on their dream, and
forget about their team.
Bottom line here is if you build the right team, the dream
will almost take care of itself.
You want to achieve your team? Then grow your team but make
sure your motives are right. Don’t do it solely to benefit yourself. So how do you grow your team!? I mean growing
your team is what’s going to get you to Diamond right!?
1. You need to
develop your team members. See the potential in each person that they don’t see
in themselves. Always give those people who are already on your team the chance
to grow and bloom. Maybe you have all the people in place to go Diamond, work
on helping them grow. Work on showing them the direction they need to be going.
Don’t just recruit and then drop the ball with helping your team members
develop.
2. If you are
adding new members make sure they have those key elements you are looking for.
Maybe you aren’t the greatest with technology and they are phenomenal at it.
Don’t turn them away because you are intimidated. Help them so that they can
help you. Your team is going to benefit from key members.
3. Change up
leadership if need be. This is where as
a leader you need to accept the fact that you can’t do everything. Ask your key
players, the dream team, those you see potential in to step up and step in when
they see something. Not only is this priming them to lead their own team but it
helps you as well. Maybe they will give insight to someone that will click. Always
have more than one leader in your team setting.
4. Dealing
with Inaffective Members. Poor attitudes need to be taken care of. Team pages
can be a place to vent but ultimately you do not want someone who is brining
everyone else down. You may have to have a conversation with them. If you
notice that your team is breaking down or falling short you may need to address
this. NOW, this also goes hand in hand with the fact that you can’t chase
members down who aren’t willing to meet you half way. There were many times
when I first started coaching that I was wasting time and energy tracking down
those who weren’t willing to put in effort, and was completely neglecting those
who were ready. You need to focus your time and energy on those who are ready.
Growing a team is demanding and time consuming but so
worth it. If you want to achieve your dream you have no choice but to build
that dream team.
Today I want you to do TWO things!
1. Identify
who your KEY players are on your team. Those that are working hard, getting on
team calls, really stepping up and showing up. Your dream team should be the
top 20% of the people on your team.
2. I know in
the past you have created your dream customer. Today I want you to create your
dream team member. What characteristics and qualities do they have. Make them
the PERFECT team member in your eyes.
When you have completed this I want you to message your
upline saying “ I am on my way to building my DREAM Team!” *-
