How many times have you heard...
"All you need is two people to join your business..."
But, what does that really mean. If I sign-up two people and they never perform, aren't we back to square one.
Yes, we are! So, what's the whole hoopla about getting two people if they just aren't performers?
I've learned that it should probably be worded something like this instead...
"All you need is the right two people to join your business..."
There is some validity to getting two people, but they have to be the right ones. They have to be go-getters! They have to be visionaries! They have to be optimistic! They have to be ready to embark down the journey of home business ownership!
If you were to look in the mirror can you honestly say that you are all of those characteristics? Or, can you say that you would join yourself in the business if you were someone else?
If you can't answer those questions with a resounding YES, then you're back to square one.
You're starting from scratch, and in that case it's time to work on your self-image, build your team, become a leader, become magnetic, and teach others how to do the same thing. And no, it doesn't matter that your business has gone anywhere. All that matters is that you step up to plate, take a few swings and make it to first base. Then you go for the next base, then the next base, then after a while, that's when you'll be swinging for the fences. (I bet you can tell which sport I like.)
But, the fact of the matter is, if you are intending on becoming someone successful (that homerun hitter) in this industry, then now is the time.
Now imagine, you find two people that are drawn to you and you mentor them, what do you think they will do with their business?
Uhhh! I don't think I need to answer here, but I will for those that aren't catching on. They will be leaders who are performers. Why? Because when you are attracting these people to you, they had liked what they had seen. Whatever it was, your ability to lead, to be confident, to be decisive, or your ability to take control, they could see themselves following you and learning from you.
Again, Why?
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU!
It absolutely, most definitely, takes two to tangle, but with the right two.
Are you attracting the right two?
