I decided to write this article because I see so many new network marketers trying to run before they can walk. For more than a decade I have witnessed a lot of people that should have become very successful in this industry fail...in part because they didn't understand the "3-Phases of Personal Growth".
Let me explain...
When a new distributor starts their Network Marketing business they mistakenly believe that their "life experiences" (work skills, education, background, etc.) somehow will automatically translate into success in their new venture. Sadly, the reality is much different. Network Marketing is MUCH different than anything they have done before and their "life experiences" are usually more of a hindrance than a help.
I spent 29-years as Director of Human Resources with an international corporation and it took me 4-years to finally understand that Network Marketing is NOT corporate America. I wasted 4-years trying to fit my "life experiences" into a different shoe box and it just didn't fit.
After years of frustration here is what I learned...
There are three (3) phases of personal growth we all must go through no matter what our "life experiences" may be!
PHASE #1: Student. You must become a student in every facet of your business. That includes your company, the industry,
Air Jordan 5, your product, your business system,
ed hardy wrist bags, selling and recruiting, etc. This is the "in the trenches" phase of your personal growth where you learn by asking, studying but mostly by doing. There is no substitute for "doing". You will learn more by "going through the process" than any training program can teach you. Yes, training is vital because it cuts down your learning curve...but you can only learn by "doing". Besides, you can't teach that which you can't do and that's the next phase of your personal growth.
PHASE #2: Teacher. Once you learn enough and become successful enough you transition into "Teacher". In order to be a good teacher you must have first been a good student because it is at this phase of your growth that you can begin to give back to others all that you have learned. It is in this phase that you are qualified to teach the science (the "How to") of building a successful network marketing business to those in your downline. How to sell the products, to recruit,

Of course you can't do that if you haven't personally "been there done that". Most distributors try to transition into "Teacher" long before they are qualified to do so.
PHASE #3: Mentor. This is the third and final phase of your personal growth. This is when you fully and completely understand the art (the "Why") of building a successful network marketing business, not just the "How". In fact,
Ed hardy kids girl hoodies, that is exactly what a mentor does...they mentor others by helping them understand the "Why" that's behind everything we do. While the "Teacher" teaches the nuts and bolts of building a successful network marketing business (the "How"), a "Mentor" is so experienced they can teach the big picture that supports the "How"...they can teach the "Why". It is the "Mentor" that helps "Teachers" go new levels so they can transition into "Mentors" themselves.
Mentors are important because 40% of success is based on the "How" but 60% is based on the "Why"!
Here is a guide on knowing what phase you are in and when the various transitions occur?
1. Student: Less than $50,000 a year in residual income.
2. Teacher: More than $50,000 a year in residual income.
3. Mentor: Minimum $10,000 a month in residual income.)
Too many people think they are 'Teachers' and/or "Mentors" BEFORE they are qualified. Suggestion? Learn to be a good "Student"...and it all starts with being coachable and trainable.
The first-second combination allows for easy maneuvering and nice "zippy" moves on the streets. If you're expecting the slouched-over, "lone, unloved and apathetic biker" riding position that many cruisers offer, you're going to be disappointed. The best position on this bike is a standard straight up and down, nearly cop-like. It's comfortable, gives you tons of visibility - you're eye-to-eye with drivers in all but the tallest SUVs. Friends that see me on the road say that I look better on this bike than the others that I've ridden - time to have a chat with the wife and see if she likes white or black.The controls have a nice "retro" look, but they are most definitely modern. Italian bike owners will be familiar with this layout. The clutch is butter smooth, allows for a lot of feathering and never gives a hint of any wooden or binary grabbiness. The instruments all have a slightly retro character, and this is also attractive, down to the speedometer that reads about 10% optimistic.
Looks like Guzzi had some left over parts from my old one, as they read almost identically. Brakes took a little getting used to. I'm more of a "front braker" person, so I usually apply the fronts and then ease the back brake in for a settling effect. Turns out that the Guzzi Linked brakes work well for this, although I adjusted my technique slightly to just use the front brake lever to peel off speed, and the rear lever to get down to business. For those of you unfamiliar,
Air Jordan 2.5 Team, the linked brakes on equipped Moto Guzzi bikes operate the left front disc in conjunction with the rear disc. The front brake lever operates only the front right Brembo.The combination is both effective and safe. Hard to high-side a bike with linked brakes when used correctly, since you can modulate the speed of both wheels with the rear lever.
