Why Proper Use Of Cause And
Effect Protects Your Downline
It definitely matters to leaders, you and your downline
Cause and effect relationships are taken for granted because they are always present in our daily life. For sellers, this offers itself as a superb opportunity to twist the relationship in their own favour.
Often, this is done to your disadvantage - especially when you are trying your best in network marketing. You know that stupid question How big is your WHY? Let's stop this mad game and put things right.
So, here is a short explanation on ...
How Cause and Effect Are Twisted
In The World Of Network Marketing
Let me clear up with a common misunderstanding about the questions: "WHY...", "WHAT..." and "HOW..." so you can arrive at an important conclusion:
"Why does it work?" - is a general question about the causes of any cause-and-effect relationships involved in a given process or situation.
"How does it work?" - is a general question about the effects of any cause-and-effect realtionships involved.
So, the YOU-centered WHY-question has not much to do with the general WHY-question. Below you will see why this is important...
What's the point here?
"You can not run before you started walking." Or a house needs a roof but, you can not build a roof atop a house which hasn't yet been built. It's a generally applicable and unbreakable law. It is the fundamental truth that an effect can not exist before its own cause.
In case of the house, the cause and effect relationship looks like the one below:
| 1) WHY a house? | You need a roof above your head. |
| 2) WHAT needs to be done? | A house and a roof need to be built. |
| 3) HOW do we go about it? | First build the walls then the roof. |
Cause and effect is a three stage process described by answering three questions: why, what and how and in that very order. If you know the "WHY" you also know "WHAT" you need to do. "How" you do it is the last step.
Network marketers twist the cause and effect relationship and hope to be fine when they first and only tell you HOW to do things. Yet, HOW to do something is the answer to the last or 3rd question. The 1st and the 2nd question remains unanswered. So what? Imagine you just joined. What's...
The result of putting effects (how to) before their cause (why to)?
You need to answer the first two fundamental questions (why and what) all by yourself. And that's where most go wrong. You'd repeat what your upline did wrong already - only telling the how. Do you see now why most people run into this deadly maze? Never to be seen again?
Busy like ants they start doing the last task first not knowing why they are doing what they are doing. At first they are happy how their downline builds. And then they wonder why it suddenly disappeared over night. It's their time and money gone.
If you want to become a leader in any business, keep causes before their effects. You know you can't become a leader over night.
Just knowing and imitating how leaders do it is not enough. You will first want to know what they do and why they do it in the first place and in any given situation.
Mastery of the why-what relationship will teach you the what-how relationship. It's challenging and fascinating, believe me.
Confusing cause and effect is like taking a risky shortcut. It's like putting yourself into the seemingly fastest car without knowing that its engine and transmission are missing. In this case, just knowing HOW to drive a car doesn't get you anywhere.
Do you really want your downline to take that shortcut? Check all the related topics below or in the top right, especially the one about network marketing companies causing this prevarication (twisting).
