The PINTEREST Effect

Who doesn’t love to take a break and scroll through the posts on P i n t e r e s t ??
Its in some ways replaced Facebook as the place to spend time. PINTEREST shares our loves, likes and our dreams.
In the pinning you also become a follower. On Facebook you also become a follower, What about Twitter………follower……….hmmm seeing a pattern?
When driving you also follow the car in front of you. We are taught to follow.
Some people do it without consciously really thinking about it. While others have to work at it. We all develop differently and are born with different traits.
In business we must also decide whether to follow or to lead. Within our organizations of business associates at some point you have to lead in a following way. Stepping up when needed and repeating what your upline or sponsor has shown you.
Why is this important?
Due to the fact its easier to follow a set of outlines and instructions that others have proven to work. Though some people still choose to go out and be guinea pigs, failing and succeeding, but mostly F A I L I N G.
Leaders are there to help us Succeed, If we succeed they SUCCEED!
Systems, manuals and videos aren’t always easy to make time to do, but working a business is like working a job. You have to MAKE TIME…period! Or you won’t get Results.
I love following Pinterest and my friends on Facebook, It makes me feel as if I know them a little better and often gives me a point of interest to talk to them. So wouldn’t following your Leaders have the same effect? I think YES!
Pinterest gives us Sewing, Cooking, Dream Destinations and much much more. Without people taking the time to Pin, it would be boring. Our leaders take time to post videos, scripts, and manuals on how we can more effectively market ourselves and our business.
It’s all about making the time to follow what others have tested before us. They test drive the car, we get to buy it!
So instead of spending 30 minutes on Pinterest or Facebook or even a online message board, take only 10 minutes and use your other 20 minutes to build your business learn what is going to help give you the lifestyle to pursue those dreams, so when others are following your Pinterest and Facebook…. they spend their 30 minutes browsing
YOUR
pages and wanting
YOUR LIFESTYLE !
So Decide to make that lifestyle happen!
