It's hard to remember that everyone that joins your network works at their own pace. You may be wondering why it is taking so long for one person to get active while someone else is consistently making sales and building their own downline. Generally speaking, success in your own downline really boils down to a numbers game. If you only have two people in your network and neither are producing, you will become quickly frustrated.

However, if you are consistently marketing, selling, and introducing new people to your business opportunity, the higher the chance you will get new people to join you. The more people you have, the more likely you will have hard-working individuals in your network. People will work at their own pace, however, because of the amount of people in your network, you will not have to stress out when a couple of people lose interest and stop running their business all together.

It Takes Time to Get the Swing of Things

Regardless of how much you try to help your downline, some people will not soak up the information you are providing right away. They will need time to figure things out on their own. This may mean that they don't produce right away. Don't become discouraged at this. What you need to focus on is how much you are producing. Unlike having employees, you can't control other people output. Therefore, focus on your efforts and when a person in your downline needs your input, they will ask.

Remember, you are not controlling the people in your downline. They are running their own separate business. You all are just have the same business in common. While it is wonderful when you can all discuss various topics and help each other improve, you won't always experience that. Be there for your downline but don't push. Enjoy the fact that everyone is doing their thing whether some do it fast or slow.
