June is here and I've been working with many leaders on how to engage their teams to stay consistent through the months of June, July and August.  We began with a time blocking exercise to help each team member schedule business around summer camps, activities and vacations.  This is because, as entrepreneurs, you must keep your business doors open. The great benefit in running your business working summer flex hours keeps the sales and bookings coming in and more importantly, the income consistent. 

Once the leaders established the summer schedules, they now have a team engaged to stay on track with the team goals and action plans. It's a matter of leading with precision during a time when it's so important to stay consistent. 

• Many leaders have initiated a re-start revolution, helping team members re-fresh their business with summer launch parties.
• They are offering incentives to achieve the 3-month fast start rewards. 
• Many leaders have sparked excitement in the team creating brainstorming sessions around summer theme parties. 
• Others are gathering the troops and kicking off summer boot camp training sessions.

Leaders who prioritize their year around the seasonal selling times of the year are focused on a growth plan that keeps the team involved and connected in running a consistent business.  

And, so this brings me to the question, are you willing to give your direct sales business three years?  I believe you have to give yourself at least a 3-year growth plan?  When you have a consistent  3-year growth plan and lead with precision during the busiest times of the year and the slower, quieter times of the year it keeps leaders engaged and you will grow a winning team. 

It's consistency that is the game changer if you want to build a million dollar team and a six-figure income business.  And really when you think about it a 3-year consistent growth plan is not a very long time.  

How often do you fee frustrated because your business isn't growing as quickly as you'd like and things get really hard especially over the quieter summer months? And you think it's never going to work.   I was there myself.  There were times when I thought I should quit!  But I kept at it, working through some very slow summer months and doing my best to keep my mindset focused especially when I had team members who said, "I'm not going to work in the month of July."

There were so many times when I was growing my million dollar team, I wished it would grow faster.   I'd recruit what I thought was a hot business builder who didn't do a thing, and I'm not even going to mention all those cancelled parties, but you just have to make a commitment to stick at it. 

It's that consistency that is so important, it's about keeping going yourself and keeping the team engaged during the busy times and the less-busy times and doing it consistently all year long. 

So, look at these summer months as your re-start revolution to stay consistent with a 3-year growth plan.  Decide what you want to be consistent about and stick to it! Make consistency your game changer and commit to your own 3-year growth plan.  Remember, 

• It takes time to grow relationships
• It tames time to keep the team on track with goals
• It takes time to lead new recruits through the first 90 days of business. 

I find people quit too soon because they don't understand the cycles of business throughout the year.  Understanding how to engage your team through these cycles and lead with precision will keep you on track with your growth plan.  

Throw consistency into this plan and know that others before you have built a million dollar team and a six-figure income business in this three-year amount of time.  If they can do it, so can you!
