THE ILLUSION CALLED CONTROL

"The job in MLM is to get out of job". It's a great line to sum up everything which is required for management or field work or anything which is a part of network marketing. This statement also tells that MLM is a place for making heroes and not becoming one and consequently it's about giving control to new upcoming heroes of the organization and give them enough mental strength that they could pass the baton as well to their replacements. 

To have the control over the group is important if one wants to have a regular linearly increasing income. But MLM is all about exponential growth and this comes by believing in people and giving them control of their destinies by making them responsible for their income and work. Appreciation and encouragement become the best friends for a trainer or teacher and being appreciated and encouraged gives belief and thus confidence to the new associate.

More number of confident and responsible associates we generate, lesser is our control over their work (as they gain the control now) and more is the freedom which is the essence of being a part of network marketing industry. 

"Thinking is a tough job and that's why I do it"- HENRY FORD. Thus we can use the extra time we have got in doing innovations and increasing the efficiency of the group and of course, to increase the width of our network and taking the work of the organization to a different level.We need to understand that we need to replace our uplines as well and take their roles for our organization. To understand the concept of width and depth in network, I recommend you to go through my post on the same topic. 

By losing control over the group doesn't mean to lose total control and to have no grip on the work at all. One must be in the position of regaining the control whenever a downfall occurs or there is a situation which demands it. What I mean by LOSING CONTROL over here is giving wings of freedom to our associates who also want to grow bigger and want to share the responsibilities. New people bring new ideas and this always helps. All we should take care once we replace ourselves with our senior associates is that we should have a regular communication with the next level leaders as well as the upcoming ones.
