If your downline is doing this..... and... the 80/20 rule

Hi Team,
 
I have a question for you......
 
If your downline success team is doing exactly what you are doing to build your Mentors Club affiliate program, how many people do you think your entire organization will grow by this week? What about this whole month of October?
 
As a martial arts instructor.... I never asked/demanded that my students do anything that I had not done or was not willing to do myself.
 
As a dad... I never expected more from my kids than I expected from myself.
 
As a Life Coach / Consultant... I have always given advice that I would be willing to follow through with if I were in their situation.
 
As a network marketer... I never recommended anything to my downline success team that I had not done or was not willing to do myself.
 
I take my position as a Mentors Club Founder very serious.
 
I am a part of Mentors Club to help support awesome nonprofit foundations like Kick Start & Pies Descalzos.
 
I am also involved in Mentors Club to help other members like you.. to help create & live your ultimate lifestyle.
 
And yes.... I am involved in Mentors Club to make money. To be more blunt... a lot of money. 
Because.... I know the more money I make... the more money is being raised for charity causes.
And.... because the more money I make with Mentors Club... allows me to put more time into Mentors Club.
And.... because I am married with children :  )
 
I know exactly why I am involved in Mentors Club. And I know exactly what I want out of being a Mentors Club member / affiliate. (Do you?)
 
As I mentioned on my first call with several of you.... I look at each one of you as one of my VP's, Regional Managers or Managers. I consider you a part of my business. Your not just a user name in my genealogy.
 
No.... I do not consider you an employee. If that were the case.... I would have fired a few people already lol.
 
And yes..... I realize that I can't make you pull away from your TV or time hanging out with your buds to put time and energy into sharing Mentors Club with others.
 
However..... I can (and will) limit who and how I spend my time.... especially when it comes to building my Mentors Club business. I am "in it to win it" as they say. I am here to accomplish my goal of helping raise a minimum of $100,000.00 a month for charity work. I am in it to help pad my retirement account. I am in it to soar with fellow Eagles... and not waste time just talking with Turkeys.
 
I said all that to lead up to this........
 
Here is a VERY important business building tip that you will see/hear again and again if you stick around Mentors Club or read very many business related books. Many of you may have already heard about it. It's called the 80/20 rule.
 
The 80/20 rule simply states that on an average... 80% of the work/recruiting will be done by only 20% of the people involved.
 
Now most people think that in order to build a successful mlm downline... they need to spend as much time as they can begging, pushing, pulling, bribing the 80% into getting of their self induced, non productive bottoms to do something productive. WRONG!
 
Let me repeat that......WRONG!!!!!
 
It's that whole.... "you can lead a horse to water" deal.
 
If you want to be really successful in the mlm industry.... concentrate on the 20% who are voluntarily doing something productive
 
 
Now what's also amusing about the 80/20 rules is that it is normally the 80% of people that are doing nothing, that will want to take up 80% +++ of your time.
 
Do NOT let that happen to you!  You can always make more money if you waste it. You can always buy more food if you waste it. But..... you can't get back time that you waste.
 
So..... here is my main point of this blog post..... I bet you thought I was just rambling on lol :  )
 
In order for us (on Team 20%) to accomplish our goals.... we too must stop wasting time with those on Team 80%.
 
For all of you 20% achievers.... I look forward to continued success together. We are going to ROCK the world we live in...one member... one affiliate... one child at a time.
 
For all of you 80% non achievers....on behalf of Team 20%, we wish you the very best of health, wealth & happiness. Enjoy the monthly training you receive as a member. Apply as much of it to your life as applicable to make improvements in your world. And... we invite you to come join us over on the 20% Team.
 
In the mean time..... please do not attempt to waste our time with idle chit chat and non productive activity. No... we will not build your downline for you. No... we will not pat you on the back and reward you for inactivity. No.... we will not beg you to be the best you can be in life.
 
You see...unlike professional sports... you can choose which Team you want to be a member of. And you are guaranteed that you will get to play as much (or little) as you want, once you have chosen your Team.
 
So in closing.... As we are about to receive our first checks and about to participate in our first contest to celebrate our "official launch" I want to encourage you to join the 20% Team right now. Not tomorrow. Not next week on the 8th. Not after your next days off. Right now!
 
Success starts in the mind. So make up your mind right now... that as a Mentors Club member... not only will you be part of the 20% Team.... you will be one of the leaders of that special Team of winners. You can do it if you really want to. Mentors Club provides you with the how.Only you can provide yourself with a strong enough why.... to do what you need to do. 
 
I DARE You  :  )
 
Go Team 20%!
 
Go Team Bare Feet!
 
Blessings, Dr. Reggie Cochran
