Team Momentum is the Key to Long-Term Success

Have you ever experienced Momentum in your life?  That state of energy, excitement, and action?  In network marketing, we hear a lot about creating momentum.  And I’m often asked if momentum is actually achievable?  Or is it a myth that we chase?  The truth is momentum DOES exist.  And, it can be created by you! There are three types of momentum: personal momentum, company momentum, and team momentum. 

Personal momentum is when you are personally seeing results in your business, and this is the first step in creating team momentum. Company momentum is when there is a lot of hype about a company or a product.  A great example of company momentum would be when you’re in a new company that is seeing a lot of at the right time. The third one is team momentum. Of the three, our key focus needs to be on creating team momentum, as team momentum is the key to your long-term success in this business!

If you want freedom in your business as well as long term success, then aim for creating team momentum.

 

How to Create Team Momentum

As a leader, you must learn to create team momentum in your business. There are three requirements that must be in place to achieve the type of team momentum we all crave in our businesses. One is giving your team a clear outcome or goal to work towards. Second is accountability to achieving those goals. Lastly, there should be transparency within the team.

Also, you must understand the importance of having simple systems in 5 key areas of your business. To create duplication, and as a result momentum, you must have in place simple systems that each and every team member can follow in these 5 areas:  prospecting, opportunity presentation, training new team members, leadership development, and recognizing action and achievement.
