Are You Pushing a Rope?

In every network marketing business, there comes a time when you find yourself wanting success for your people more than they want it for themselves. Or, maybe you’re depending on them to come through and achieve the next status level, or enroll more people. If you’ve developed a large enough network marketing organization, I’m sure you’ve had those months when the size of your check was riding on one guy doing what he said he was going to do.

So you push him, and push him to get to the next step…

And, he bails on you. He leaves you high and dry! This is called ‘pushing a rope’. No matter how hard you try, and how much you want it, you simply cannot push a rope. If they don’t want it for themselves, you’re fighting a losing battle.

So, what do you do when you find yourself with the urge to push that same rope next month?

Get someone new! Get someone hungry! Get someone who will pull the rope in the same direction with you so everyone can advance together.

Every network marketing group has dead weight somewhere. Don’t try to drag them along kicking and screaming, but leave them where they are, and move on!
