LISTEN. “When someone said they wanted to be a builder, my eyes would glaze over and I just saw us skipping
to classes together and walking down the carpet, and I never heard anything else.”
B
 E OPEN. “It’s absolutely important to stop talking and listen to what people are really saying. ‘Doing the
business’ might just mean sharing to that person. Let them know the expectations and responsibilities.”
INVEST. “Invest time and effort into the people that want to do this business with you. It’s hard to find someone
who will go all out with you. Builders aren’t around every single corner.”
BE FAMILY. “Make your builders your family and your second pair of arms and legs. Keep them confident and
self-sufficient.”

EDUCATE. “I focus on training and educating my team rather than only giving them incentives. I feel like the
biggest incentive is getting educated on how to grow their business and get that residual income.”

LEAD. “Help your builders step into a leadership role. It’s hard when people sign up to be a builder and have
never been a leader before. Invest in them to help them get those skills they need.”
