History Does Repeat Itself.....

The Industry we call our new Career Calling is defined by the success we are able to achieve with the Marketing Wars that have us on the Front Lines of Battle every day. I found an excellent article online recently that was written by Steven King and want to pass along to every networker as I think you will find this excellent piece to prove the old saying of "History Does Repeat Itself" in many ways applies to Individual Home Based Networking Operations.

What network marketers can learn from Julius Caesar's war in Gaul66

By Steven King

* Every seasoned network marketer knows the importance of maintaining momentum .. But what happens when your team loses momentum? How do you recreate that mental synergy within your team in order to give them that winning edge again?

* From 58 B.C. to 51 B.C., Rome fought a series of wars with Gaul (modern day France) known as the Gallic Wars. The Roman forces were commanded by Julius Caesar and The Gallic wars were long, bloody and taxing for both sides with the issue finally decided once and for all at the Battle of Alesia .. Caesar put on his armor and personally led 2,400 Roman soldiers into the thickest part of the battle.

Seeing their commander personally engage in battle caused an immediate revival of morale and inspiration among the Roman soldiers as watching Caesar cut down Gaul after Gaul with his own sword inspired the Roman troops to throw down their javelins, draw their own swords and charge the Gauls head on like they saw their leader do. This sudden revival of energy and ferocity by the Roman soldiers proved to be too much for the Gauls even though they outnumbered the Romans 4 to 1.

* So what the heck does all of that have to do with you re-building momentum within your team? The answer is – a lot. It’s always important for troops to see their commander personally engage in battle. There’s a huge difference between a commander who says “Charge!” and one who says “Follow Me!” When I was in the Marine Corps we called this “leading from the front.”

* As the leader your activity should include you getting in close like a sword fight and talking face-to-face with as many prospects as you can about your opportunity. They should see you personally doing tons of face-to-face presentations. This will encourage them to do the same. Of course you have distance weapons (javelins) in your arsenal such as Facebook, MySapce and email; however, nothing beats face-to -face interaction. Like the sword, it may be less comfortable for you, however, face-to-face interaction and personal presentations will always cause you to kill more of the enemy, or should I say, enroll more people into your business.

So, I said all of that in order to say this: In order to rebuild momentum within your team, get down from your siege tower and go personally kill some Gauls. Trust me, your network marketing army will thank you !!
