Bill Clinton and Constant Improvement (CI)

Regardless of your political interests and preference, Bill Clinton practiced Constant Improvement (CI).

I'll give you a great example: For him, networking wasn't just a matter of passing out business cards, collecting those of others, and making the most of the time at the event before calling it a night or a day. He also just didn't rely on his charisma by itself.

Instead he had a habitual practice of coming home each night and meticulously recording each conversation in a growing library of index cards. He committed to memory not just where someone worked or what someone did, but really who they were. So the next time he saw them, asking "How have you been?" it wasn't just an empty formality - it was loaded with a complete understanding that allowed him to meet that person's individual need to be known and valued.

What can you do to use his example directly in your network marketing business?

Well, you could do exactly that with all your conversations in your computer or manual file or index cards. You could also analyze every conversation you have and then practice ACAA with your leadership.

Engage daily in CI activities because as you grow you...you grow your check. Not only that but I promise you your check will shrink if you are not growing YOU. This is not a lottery or get rich quick industry. This is an industry that pays you well to grow you and help others grow.

One of the programs I'm studying now is the "Great Courses" series called "The Art of Public Speaking: Lessons from the Greatest Speeches in History". What are you working on this week to grow YOU?

Email me and let me know.
