Martins,
To take this in a somewhat different direction, not that Gary may be correct,
but let's assume you have a great product and opportunity. What else could
you do to keep your downline motivated? Where else can you look?
In my humble opinion, the answer is to develop your leadership skills, and
the leadership skills of the people in your downline who show the most
potential. Be very selective of the people you choose work with. You
do not want to spend your time trying to develop those with no vision or
passion.
Help people uncover their dreams. Help them to discover their true
"why". Find the people who are willing to take 100%
responsibility. People who know that the results they will receive are in
direct proportion to the effort they put in.
The reason I suggest this, is because this is one of the areas I working
on. My "day job" is as the IT Administrator for a small
manufacturing company. In reality, I am the whole IT department. In
that role I did not develop my leadership and people skills. So now I
study and practice, understanding the long-term benefits.
Here are two books I would like to recommend by John C. Maxwell. They
are "Developing the Leader Within You" and "The 21 Irrefutable
Laws of Leadership". I have read, and thoroughly enjoyed
both. If you do not choose these, take the time to find the books/authors
that appeal to you.
Success in any area of life is an inside-out progression. We first grow
ourselves, then we help others to grow.
Best wishes for your success and happiness.
Make Every Day a Great Day
Ron
