Your Workout Partner

So what do you do to keep yourself on track?  And how do you know when you’re not?

Those are very important questions to people who are committed to success and development.  Because they ensure that we stay focused, don’t get waylaid by distractions, and are consistently moving towards our goals.

One of the best things for network marketers is having a work out partner.  It’s just like having a buddy you train with at the gym, but this time it’s for your business results.

You chat at least once a week (more is better), and keep each other on track and accountable.  This can really help you if you have a daily method of operation with a set number of people to expose the business to.  For example you might say that you will offer a chance to look at the opportunity to at least three people a day, five days a week.  This doesn’t mean you’re supposed to sponsor that many or even present to that many.  It just means you prospect them, to see if they have an interest.  Then you get the people that are interested to presentations.

Each week you and your workout partner let each other know your commitment and then hold each other accountable.  It goes without saying, but won’t, this only works if you’re absolutely honest with your partner.  If not, you defeat the whole purpose.  This only works if you give your workout partner the commitments you will do, and then check back in and truthfully report what you have done.

It’s usually best if it’s not your sponsor, but someone else in your company that is wiling to work with you.  And it’s very important that your workout partner be someone that will support you in a positive way, not tear you down, but still be tough enough to call you out when you don’t do what you’re supposed to do.

If you already have a workout partner, please share how it works for you and give any tips you have.  And if you don’t have one now, please find one and check it later with your results.
