Are You Coachable?

You hear it everyday from the new excited person becoming involved with network marketing.  "I'm in it to win it, I want to bring in alot of people, my rolodex is impressive, I can make a lot of money in this."  S-l-o-w down cowboy!  Unfortunately what happens with most is that they become what I refer to as the "one arm wallpaper hanger" -- I can do this by myself.  AND...they don't produce.  Ego, ego, ego.

What they really need to do is step back and ask themselves, "am I wiling to be honest about my current situation, willing to acknowledge where I am stuck in life, willing to change or eliminate any self-defeating bhaviors that limit my success?"  The list of questions can go on and on.  So few are willing to take direction, to learn from those who came before them and have proven to be successful.

Your EGO can certainly get in the way of your success.  One of the key ingredients I have found to be extremely helpful is in "remaining teachable".  I don't have all the answers.  I am honest about that with team members and it becomes an opportunity for us to learn together.  Your EGO can be such a detrement and, at times, can be your best friend; however, do you know how to be that flexible?  When to turn it on and turn it off?

Becoming coachable can be the biggest difference between earning a BIG CHECK or NO CHECK.  Humility can become your best asset -- keep an open mind, leave your ego at the door and become teachable.  Good luck!
