One of the key mistakes that many make is by making things more complicated than they really are. And in network marketing, this idea of simplicity is very important. Ask any successful network marketer and they will tell you that it is very important to ensure that the actions you are taking to grow your business, are duplicateable. If a great system has created success for you but others can not follow or use it then you will find that your success is not long term. Your greatest asset is one, having a system and two, people being able to use it with ease. The stability of your business depends on this. When you are building your business and looking for business partners you should realize that not everyone will have the same skill level to grow a business. So what you are doing should be easy to follow.

There is no need for you to development something unique if your company or your upline has a system set in place but if you feel that what you are provided with is not effective then the system will have to start with you. Winners will do what it takes to win. Most, if not all, successful businesses have grown their companies quickly and effectively with the idea of a duplicateable system. I am sure that we have all heard the analogy about McDonalds. If you have not it says that McDonalds is not successful because it has the best tasting hamburgers. McDonalds has successful stores in India and they do not even eat cows! Systems work but they, like McDonald is, should be able to be ran by high schoolers. The more complex a system, the less likely quality duplication will be achieved. Keep it simple to ensure you do things that your distributor can learn from and duplicate. "Two people opened two separate small hamburger shops. In a few years one was still working hard everyday to see that the business was functioning while the other was at home with many shops open". Look to get the same high producing results. Each person in your business, from top to bottom, must be able to exactly duplicate what you are doing and be able to teach others to do exactly the same thing. How large a team of business partners you can build depends on how well your system is duplicated. It is only as good as it is duplicated.

Many of the great business builders like Dan Kennedy, T. Harv Eker, etc. constantly talk about the importance of systems so that the owner is not working in the business but on it. And the successful network marketers will tell you the same thing, I just followed the system that was given. Everything must be kept simple in order to grow your business. Show others how simple it is to do what you do. They need to see you do it, and then believe it is easy enough for them to quickly duplicate to achieve the same good results as you received in your business.
