Why you should NOT motivate?
I want to talk about why you should not motivate other people. Maybe a
strange blog coming from me. Like oh, this guy always does motivation and he's
telling me not to motivate other people. Let me tell you why. What if I asked you
to describe manipulation? What if I asked you to describe? How would you
describe manipulating somebody? What would be your description?
Well, one of
the descriptions of manipulating somebody is making somebody do something they
don't want that you want them to do. That's manipulating. Basically making
somebody to do something that they don't want but you want. Isn't it the same
thing, what we call motivating people? So you see what we sometimes try to do
so desperately as a leader in a network marketing business is to motivate
people to do something, motivate them to sell, motivate them to recruit,
motivate them to do, but that's basically trying to get people to do something
they don't want to do and that's manipulation.
Now, do you want to be a
manipulator? “Hey guys, I know motivators sounds much better.” More of you
started to introduce yourself, “Hey, I'm a manipulator. I manipulate people
very well, I manipulate the crap out of them.” Wouldn't be so nice, would it? I
think sometimes we need to switch the mindset and understand that as a leader,
sometimes you're not so much there to motivate people to do something they
don't want, but more to inspire people who want to do something to do that. A
true leader finds, what does this person want to do? What are their goals? What
are their ambitions? Where do they want to go into life?
And then helps that
person to find the tools, to find the skills, to find the knowledge necessary
to realize that potential to do what they actually wanted to do. But that's
harder. That takes more time. That takes more asking questions, more finding
out, more getting to know that person. Sounds like a lot of work. Why don't I
just motivate them to do what I want them to do? Why don't I just motivate them
to sell some right? But that's not always what they want to do. That’s really
the distinction and sometimes it's slight distinctions, but it helps you to
look at your role as a leader from a different perspective.
That’s my training and tip for you. Hope you got value some value in
