"You don't plan on the whole wall, you lay the first brick, as perfectly as you can, then lay the next brick the exact same way and keep doing it. Then all of a sudden you have a perfect wall..." ~ Will Smith
This analogy ties directly to the MLM industry and team building. A team, like a sturdy brick wall, does not form overnight...
The reality is, you don't plan on the whole team, you sponsor one person, then sponsor the next person, and keep doing it. Then all of a sudden you have a huge team.
It takes mortar, the glue of your be-ing, to attach people to your wall. It's a process, you have to mix the mortar to the proper thickness, apply it to the wall, then apply a new brick.
What does your mortar consist of? YOU. Now you may have a pile of bricks ready to go, but some may be chipped or broken, others may just not fit in the wall, and that's okay. The key is to keep building, one brick at a time, and each brick will end up right where it is supposed to be when it is supposed to be there. Held in place by the mortar that is you. Now if some of the brick wall crumbles, that's okay. It's not your fault, life happens! Just keep moving forward, and keep building!
A brick wall begins with a single brick, your team begins witha single person... remember, you won't get here from there, without taking the steps in between...
