Are you a workaholic? I know I have been accused of this by insensitive friends and family that didn’t understand my burning desires and relentless need for forward momentum. But even a workaholic can only put in so many hours per day. Let’s see… there are 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year. That’s a max of 8760 hours. No sleep, no pottie breaks, no drive time. Maximum 8760 hours. (There were years when I think I came close to that number).
Now, I bet you could get a lot accomplished in 8760 hours. In fact, I would guarantee it. Your performance might be suffering a tad with no sleep though. Okay, just so we are clear… 1 person, working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 52 weeks = 8760 man hours of effort into building your business.
Let’s take a look at leveraging with the Network Marketing model. I invest my time and energy into building a business that contains 10 people. I continue to invest my time and energy into training those people so they become actual business owners for themselves and do the same thing. It’s in their best interest to continue the trend as we will see in just one minute. So, 10 people, train 10 more people each…. that’s 100 people. If each of those 100 people ONLY put in 30 minutes a day, how many man hours could have been funneled into my business success? Care to guess? 18,250 man hours.
Yep, you read that right. 30 minutes a day from each person in my down line gives me 18,250 man hours invested into my business. That’s 200+% more than if I worked 24/7 all year long. And that’s if the 10 people I worked with initially only work with 10 each and then everyone stops what they are doing.
Just for grins, let’s do the math if I had 2000 people in my down line. 2000 people, 30 minutes a day = 365,000 man hours. It would take me 41.6 years of working 24/7 to put in the same number of hours. This is one of the strongest examples of leveraging I have seen in a while. And here is the best part… those hours all spent in my business, ALSO help each of the people in my down line with their business. Again, leverage.
I gave up trading time for money back in 1991 because it is so inefficient. The wealthy know this lesson already and make the most of it everyday. Put the power of “leverage” into building your business with network marketing and watch it grow.
