Develop Your Own "Board of Directors"

Many people are drawn to network marketing because of the freedom—not only the promise of financial freedom and the freedom to be your own boss, to decide what you do, when you do it, and how much you effort you put into it. No one is telling you what to do; it’s all up to YOU.

Ahh, the independence, the lack of restrictions. Striking out on your own and grabbing your destiny by the throat and shaping it! Sounds great, doesn’t it?

YES!

And then sometimes, no.  

It’s no doubt that being in charge of yourself, your time, and your business is a liberating thing. That is one of the things about being an entrepreneur that appeals to us. But sometimes it can also be very hard to be self-motivated 24/7.

The truth is, while you alone determine the effort you put into your Syntek Global business, you don’t have to do the business alone. And while we’ll talk a little about your business team, don’t forget the importance of your own personal team, or, as an article in the Wall Street Journal put it, a personal “Board of Directors.” (You can read the entire article HERE.)

This Board of Directors doesn’t have to be people in the business; just people you trust and can rely on as a resource and support group. “Just like a corporate board, these allies serve as a (hopefully) honest, confidential sounding board for making tough career, family and financial decisions,” the article says.

A personal BOD can be valuable in all areas of life, but it can also be very beneficial to develop a business BOD as well. Luckily, the network marketing business model is conducive to the formation of teams as organizations are built.

We have several strong teams in Syntek Global that truly support each other, but one of the great things about the Syntek Global opportunity is that every distributor is a leader and a mentor. As your organization grows, others will be looking for YOU to lead. As you build your business, you automatically become a leader.

That means, if you don’t have the team support you’d like, then do something about it! You might be the one others are waiting for to jump start a team that will rocket all of you to the success you want.

For our September newsletter we asked distributors to share how their teams support them. We had a lot of great input, and even more on our Facebook page that we couldn’t fit in the newsletter. If you haven’t read that section of the newsletter, take a few minutes to do so. (Click HERE to get the PDF)

So today's tip for success is to build your own Board of Directors. Look around you, see what other teams are doing, and then go out and make it happen for yourself!

Also, if you didn’t already share about your team, we'd love to know in the comments the great things they're doing.
