Celebrate the Small Wins

It’s human nature to want immediate results, especially with the instantaneous nature of new technology. But what do you do when you get frustrated because things are going too slow in your life? The first step is adjusting your mindset. Then celebrate the “small wins” as you make progress.

Our society has evolved more and more to expect instant gratification. We want information/success/results and we want them NOW! That can make it even harder to have patience with incremental progress.

We can know intellectually that something—like growing your business—takes time, but that doesn’t stop us from sometimes feeling discouragement or frustration when it actually does take a while.

Building a foundation for success in your Syntek business, relationships, personal growth, etc. doesn’t happen overnight. And we don’t want it to, because you learn a lot and grow as a person on the journey. Those times of trial and error and lessons prepare you for the success of the future, and they are as valuable as the end product. (See our related post on Chinese Bamboo Trees and Success.) It is important to create that strong foundation.

Having the right mindset is key, but there are things that you can do to combat frustration when progress feels slow. Professor Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer conducted research about the relationship between motivation and performance. They found that consistent progress in the form of “small wins” can boost people’s motivation and performance. (Information adapted from “Amabile and Kramer’s Progress Theory” on mindtools.com.)

When people consistently take steps forward – even small steps –they are more creative, productive, and engaged, and they have better relationships. In short, achieving and recognizing regular "small wins" helps people have rich, engaged, and productive work lives. While you are growing your business, rich, engaged, and productive work life is exactly what you want!

Amabile and Kramer identified six things that help us to experience and recognize progress. The system Syntek Global has in place for distributors already has these six elements.

1.    Set Clear Goals and Objectives - When people have unclear or changing goals, they don't know what to focus on. This means that they're likely to be less engaged with the work they're doing, and they're unlikely to see the small tasks that they do as "wins."

Make sure that you set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals for yourself. Your upline and team can help you know what goals are attainable within a certain time frame. Videos in the back office can also help you with this.

2.    Allow Autonomy - Although people need specific goals, they need some freedom to decide how they accomplish these goals – the more control that people have over their own work, the more empowered and creative they'll be, and the more they'll recognize their own achievements (even on small tasks).

The network marketing model is perfect for this. We provide direction, guidelines, and resources, but then distributors have autonomy in how they reach others and promote their business. We find that our distributors are creative and effective when allowed to be so.

3.    Provide Resources - Without sufficient resources in place, it will be difficult for your people to succeed consistently in their work.

The Back Office has a wealth of resources to help you succeed. There are documents that explain everything, pamphlets and marketing materials, videos, recordings of corporate calls, trainings, and programs to help you organize, track, and follow up with prospects.

4.    Allow Ample Time - People need enough time to complete their work: consistently setting short deadlines will harm creativity, drive down work quality, and cause burnout.

This is something only you can control. Give yourself ample time and realistic deadlines for your goals.

5.    Provide Support and Expertise – People need access to the help and expertise of others so that they can move forward with their work.

Network marketing automatically puts you in a team to help and support you. Your upline can share their experience and expertise. And if you want more team support than you are currently getting, there is a whole Syntek Global family that you can reach out to, or you can build your own team. Corporate is also there to help.

6.    Learn from “Failure” – No matter how well you plan and prepare, there will be times when people fail at tasks or projects. That’s just life.

However,“failure” is more a state of mind than an actual event. Failing is only failure if you quit. Otherwise it is a learning opportunity.


Incorporate these six elements to help you progress, and then—most importantly—recognize the small steps of your progress.

Syntek Global has a compensation plan and rank system built to give you benchmarks as your business grows. Celebrate those benchmarks! When you first start, celebrate when you become an official Distributor and you start working on your business. Celebrate how far you’ve come when you reach Pro, then Silver Pro, and so on.

As long as you are moving forward, you are making progress.

Friday Q&A: Why Syntek Global?

This is a question that we get asked a lot: Why should someone go into business with Syntek Global and why network marketing?

1) We have a proven product based on a need, rather than a want, that will actually SAVE people money. XFT has a track record of effectiveness and we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

2) Syntek Global is dedicated to supporting our distributors and we have an unparalleled resource and support system. We give you the tools to succeed.  You can start your own business with minimal start-up costs—you don’t have to worry about distribution, inventory, or manufacturing or packaging. From the moment you begin professional marketing materials are available to you: brochures, documents, videos, etc.

3) We are not a get-rich-quick or pyramid scheme. (Pyramids pay out simply from recruiting—it has nothing to do with product. We sell product and people earn commissions from those sales.) This is a legitimate business, and like all businesses it takes time to get off the ground. We make it easier for you to take off, but you will usually have to give it some time to see the results you want.

Co-founder Curt Ence also goes into some more detail about why network marketing in the video below. 

Success Story: Alhaji Subair Amuda Yusuf Strives to Bless Others on His Way to the Top

“I hope to be remembered as someone who impacts his society positively,” Alhaji Subair Amuda Yusuf proclaims. Through Syntek Global, he wants to assist as many people as possible in his society to achieve financial freedom, because many are living below $100 a month. And that drive to bless others has only grown stronger with his success.

Alhaji has a Bachelor’s degree in sociology from Ahmadu Bello Univeristy, Zaria, and an MBA from Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. He worked for seventeen years in five different organizations before going into private business (borehole drilling) in 2009.

Alhaji was introduced to Syntek Global in February of this year. He had been looking for alternative sources of income, so jumped at the opportunity. “Since then, I have not regretted joining the Syntek Global Family,” he said. With less than a year in the business, Subair has traveled all over Nigeria, making new friends, breaking new ground, and improving his financial standing while regaining confidence.

Alhaji embraces the Syntek Global value of giving back to the community and making a difference. “Syntek Global has been a dream come true in which I have been able to take care of my needs and brought some people out of their hopelessness, despite lots of hurdles that I encountered in the course of this business.”

He thanks God for making it possible to touch a lot of lives through Syntek Global, and plans to work hard to get to the highest rank—and being a blessing to other people on the way.

Alhaji is a great example of the Syntek Global lifestyle and making a difference in his community! He has worked hard and we want to applaud him for his success. We are excited to be part of his life, and to assist him in touching the lives of countless others for good!

Friday Q&A: All About AutoShip

On our Facebook page, we do Friday Q&A every week when we answer specific questions sent to us or if we see several questions about the same topic. We have had many questions recently about our AutoShip program.

WHAT IS IT? AutoShip is an automatic, monthly shipment of product that you sign up for. There are several different options, so you can pick the combination of product that best suits your needs. You can sign up for, manage, track, and change your AutoShip at any time from your Back Office under the My Business tab -->Autoship.

WHY DO IT? AutoShip is a critical element in the steady growth of your business. It’s a great tool that drives residual income.  So participation in AutoShip is the best way to maximize your income and grow your business quicker. (Watch the new training videos for more explanation.)

EXTRA BENEFITS: In addition, with AutoShip you can take advantage of our AutoShip Rewards Program, which rewards customers/distributors by awarding them points for every AutoShip purchase which can be used for free product. (Full details in the Back Office. Search “AutoShip” in the Library.)

If you set up a 100 PV AutoShip, you are automatically included in our 100 PV club, an exclusive club for Syntek Global distributors that provides additional benefits like discounted products, sales tools, and branded items, as well as offering increased commission opportunities.

If you need assistance with your AutoShip, talk to your sponsor or contact support at the corporate office (support@syntekglobal.com).

Success Stories: Angela Asamoah & Daniel Sekpey Work to Change Lives

Royal Team Elites, Angela Asamoah and Daniel Sekpey have finally achieved financial freedom many only dream of, but they aren’t just resting on their success. They are on a mission to bring real change to others in Africa.

“With Syntek we can finally help so many people achieve their life dreams. There are 1 billion people in Africa that are hungry, and together with Syntek, if we help just 1% to become financially free we will be pleased,” Daniel says.

Angela and Daniel got married last year and live in Accra, Ghana. Prior to finding Syntek Global Daniel completed his first degree, but was dissatisfied with the jobs that were available. He decided then and there to not work in the public sector, but to travel abroad to further his education in the United Kingdom. Daniel took several jobs in the UK to cover the cost of school fees at the prestigious Sir John Cass Business School.

He returned to Ghana in 2007 and secured a position as a corporate Banker at UBA. Realizing financial success was not being found as a banker, he resigned after two years to pursue his vision and mission of becoming a millionaire. Daniel turned to network marketing companies.

When Daniel and Angela were introduced to Syntek, they were unsure whether they wanted to do it. They were already committed to another network and were doing extremely well until government officials virtually shut it down, but the more they thought about the product, the more they saw the limitless opportunity in front of them. Finally, they decided they would be fools if they didn't partake in the Syntek opportunity.

Daniel says, “Syntek has allowed us to build a timeless team more valuable than money, who will one day travel the world and change lives.” Their vision is to build a team of successors that will continue in growth and expansion, toward a global team that will make a mark that cannot be erased.

Daniel and Angela not only have the ability to help others, but they are able to enjoy the benefits as well. “Thanks to Syntek, Angela can now wear a ring made of diamonds whereas just a year ago, I could not even afford to give her one stone on her engagement ring,” Daniel says. “I wear an amazing diamond watch, and we are going for the once-in-a-lifetime cruise to the Caribbean.”

“We want to thank God for the life of the founders of Syntek Global and also for Mr. Andrew Apo for striving to bring this amazing opportunity to Ghana,” they said. “The writing is on the wall. Syntek is heading straight to the MLM hall of fame. We are coming like a rushing mighty wind and we will carry many along with us to the exclusive financial freedom club. Syntek is the place to be.”

Angela and Daniel want everybody to know that success can be attained. Just remember, to NEVER give up and JUST DO IT! “We will see you where eagles fly. SEE YOU AT THE TOP!”
