Building Your Core Team

To grow a solid network marketing downline you must build your “Core Team”.

Your core team are your active business builders and emerging leadership.

Without your core team in place you will never attain the time freedom and lifestyle that a well developed MLM can offer.

You will just have created another 100 hour per week job for yourself.

What is a Core Team?

Your core team will ideally consist of between 6 and 12 members. If there are more than 12 then it is time to break up into smaller groups to encourage full participation. As the number of core teams grows the leadership of the different core teams can be guest presenters at other core team events.

Each core team will have a mixture of attributes, personality types and positive outlook. Great leaders know they are not good at everything so they surround themselves with a core team to overcome this.

Open communication within the core team will promote rapport, trust and a strong “bond” that will allow them to meet difficulties and changes head on. They will definitely have a proactive rather than reactive nature as they seek to better themselves and the team.

As the bond get stronger the team will take on a dynamic nature. Quantum physics suggests that when a “group dynamic” occurs the total out put of the group will always exceed the sum of the total individuals out-put.

This has certainly been my experience.

Starting a Momentum Phase

So what are some things you can do to take your core team to the next level and start a momentum phase in your business?

1. It is important to treat each core team member as a significant individual to foster participation. Without participation no change occurs and no growth occurs and no leadership develops.
2. Put some concrete Standards and Boundaries in place to provide a safe and supportive environment without judgement for your core team to share ideas and voice concerns that are crucial for growth.
3. Have a Team Goal. This is very important. Having a Team Goal is a terrific way to foster increased communication, cooperation and creativity among your team members. A cohesive team that is happily working for towards a common goal for the team is the dream of every leader as it will always out produce one that doesn’t have it together.
4. When holding core team gatherings it is essential to be very clear about the goals for the day and provide a time for reflection, evaluation and recapping of the meeting.
5. Make sure that above all you have fun - without fun you may as well stay doing what you are currently doing.
