The Importance Of A Good Upline!

Over the past week or two, I've spoken with a number of people who have complained to me about their upline.

• Some said they just didn't get along with them, didn't receive the proper amount of respect or got their feelings hurt in one way or another.
• Others said they were disappointed in the support they were receiving.
• Still others were wondering if they even had a chance to succeed since their upline was no longer actively building a business.

My answer to all of them was the same...

WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR UPLINE?!?!?!?!?!?!

This dependent mindset has always confused me. Maybe it's a hold over belief system from working in the traditional world. Maybe it's the need to blame someone else for their lack of success. Maybe it's just avoidance behavior so they don't have to face the reality that they just might have to step forward and lead. I don't know for sure.

All I know is this... I have NEVER viewed my upline as critical to my success.

That responsibility falls on my shoulders.

A common trait of the true Network Marketing Professional is they don't feel the need for "upline support". Of course, they'll work with their upline if they are like-minded and use them as a resource from time to time, but they never use them as an excuse.

So each of you just might want to engage in the following exercise... Call your upline and say "Thank you so much for the introduction to the company. I'm just calling to say goodbye. I'll be surpassing your levels of success very soon. I'm sure we'll connect from time to time at events, on conference calls or at training functions and we might even help each other out with 3-way calls or some other form of mutual support, but as for me and my business... I'll take it from here." (Of course, all of that would be said with a smile, not with a negative attitude)

If you do that, maybe... just maybe, you're ready to take your business and your life to the next level.
