How To Develop The Right Mindset As An Upline

What is the role of an upline in network marketing?

Is he a leader like a loud army general or a slow and patient mentor like Master Yoda from Star Wars?

Is he a fearful motivator like Darth Vader or is he a person who exudes confidence and inspires others with motivating words?

We know one thing about an upline; he or she is there with an important role to play, besides just overriding the commissions of his or her downlines. If you are there simply to take advantage of your people and get commissions without doing anything, then you have missed the point about network marketing.

A good upline has the mindset of a leader, mentor, helper, servant and friend all rolled into one. You need to be a person who helps others to achieve their goals, just like what Zig Ziglar says about achieving success only when you help ‘enough’ others to achieve success in their businesses as well.

Think about it this way… if you turn your downline into a superstar recruiter, do you think that it will benefit you greatly? Of course it does, you will definitely be laughing all the way to the bank!

The key point is to go all out to ensure the success of your downlines no matter what the costs. You can’t just think about money or ‘PV’ all the time. If you obsess about it, your downlines will see you as materialistic monkey who is out there to grab their money.

Remember, your downlines are not there for you to boss around either. You just can’t preach about network marketing being the way out of your J-O-B and firing your boss if you are turning into a boss that is even worse than the one they are trying to shake off in the first place!

A good upline doesn’t just motivate their downlines with the stick or the carrot either. There is actually a third motivation factor and it is long lasting – personal empowerment! This only comes when a downline achieves self-actualization about their dreams and their business goals. You will want to train a lot of downlines like these but it would require a lot of patience within you. Not everyone will make it to this ‘level’ but you just got to keep on believing in people until they stop believing completely in themselves.

Whether your own upline adopts this mindset is irrelevant. The most important aspect is to focus on you and your own business. You can’t let your upline do all the thinking for you and expect to have the right mindset as an upline yourself.
