Recently my life has been hit with a number of health issues: my hubby suffered a mild stroke and I’ve had a few health symptoms that were more than a little discomforting.
And it’s not just me. “Stuff” is happening to people all around me. Some friends got crushed in an auto accident a few miles from my house. A person in my MLM group had a family member who also suffered a stroke. Another had to rescue her daughter from a risky situation with a boyfriend, involving an all-nighter driving trip.
So stuff is happening. People are stressed. And “da plan” for online MLM marketing? Yeah, it gets flushed down the toilet some weeks.
Doing Online MLM the Zen Cowgirl Way
When it comes to my online MLM marketing plan, my “cheater-cheater” status is full on “pumpkin eater.” Yup, you heard me. I’m not getting it all done. Some stuff is getting done (I’m not a total slacker), but a lot of stuff isn’t.
But you know what? I believe the signals that my body is sending me. When it says “Ouch!” so loudly that I can’t sleep or think, I know I need to slow down and reconsider some stuff. Being a zen cowgirl (that’s me on my rope horse above), I’m not waiting for my grulla mare to buck me off headfirst into the dirt. I am not fond of using my body to make dents in the dirt. Really, there are better ways to make an impression!
So I’m listening. I’m scaling down my online MLM plan. I’m doing fewer social media platforms. I’m blogging less. I’m ignoring more spammy crud that comes through the various social media platforms. I’m getting focused.
As for attracting people into my MLM business? Well, I figure that I really want to work with people who are not only intelligent and can read, but who actually have “try.” Who are those people? Those are the people who don’t just pick up the phone and call me for a chat ’cause they like my picture and want my help for free.
Nope, those are the folks who have read what I have written, gone through my archived blog posts, have thought through their own plan, and then call or email with SPECIFIC questions, requests, and feedback. I figure that the people I really want as my business partners are intelligent enough to find me. I’m splashed all over the place. If people can’t find me then, as they say in love affairs, “It just wasn’t meant to be.”
Are You Catching My Zen Drift Here?
So if “stuff” is happening in your life, don’t flip out. Or do flip out, and then calm back down again and reflect. Stuff is happening to everyone (and I do mean everyone). Sit down with your online MLM marketing plan if you have one. Write one if you don’t. And if your current plan is kicking your butt, then scale it down.
Make everything you put on your website or blog count more. Go with fewer social media platforms, but spend more focused effort on the ones you keep.
Finally, get some one-on-one help. That’s the biggest deal.
