Or can you? Or do you have to be? If not you, who?
Everyone thinks they are top dog in their pack. The den leader if you will. Especially “alpha-males.”
Normally, they are striving to be the best. Learning everything they can from whom ever they’ve chosen as their mentor. Usually it’s only someone above them in the chain of command or an outside unbiased non-partisan influence like a vendor representative.
The Achilles heal of this is not recognizing (awareness and/or awarding) effective performance and inquiring about it when helpful, regardless of it’s source. Most people are reverse engineering what their coworkers are doing to a certain extent, but not often fully and not publicly.
Another challenge is that if you operate under this belief, it includes you, like an umbrella, unless you’re the exception.
So, what does it say about your beliefs about yourself when you don’t believe someone in your environment can break out of it and create a successful niche for themselves. In other words, if you don’t think someone of your social-economic stature can break out of it, financially, expertise-wise, socially, economically, success-wise, notariety-wise, or any-other-wise, then this very belief that you use to hold others down is likely holding you down, as well.
Having nonfinished several efforts in several MLMs, I have learned a few things along the way about how they persuade, regardless.
One of the benefits of being involved in MLMs (outside of the upside of the benefits of being successful at it) is learning about edification. To edify in that realm means to put each other upon a pedestal by bragging up each others’ personal strengths or performance. This often makes for a powerful “argumentum a fortiori” frame of “if Banjo Ben can do this in light of the same challenges as you, then so too can you.”
MLMs have examples of every conceivable pre-existing condition becoming a strong suit. Which makes for a powerful “The Ledge” pattern/tautology, meaning whatsoever your challenge, overcoming this challenge is exactly what will make you successful and therefore the very reason you should.
The takeaway is, start noticing the good qualities in others, that you can utilize.
If you don’t have anyone around you to source, then resource yourself via repurposing successful past transferable performances regardless of the specific environment they originated.
You’ll find this very useful and beneficial.
