About the Team Building Project

The Team Building Project (TBP) is about:
  • Vision
  • Leverage
  • Support
  • Communication
  • Income

Vision

Simply put, the TBP was developed with a vision of helping the average person realize their financial dreams, using network marketing (multi-level marketing) as the vehicle to success.

But the vision doesn't stop there ... we take success a step further by helping people develop multiple streams of income, in multiple countries while participating in multiple business opportunities!

For years the "Industry Leaders" told us this couldn't be done, that it's impossible to build more than one business opportunity at a time. Well, we have definitely proved the "Industry Leaders" wrong as we currently have hundreds of TBP members around the world earning income from multiple business opportunities!

Leverage

Most people decide to join a business opportunity to develop a second income. And immediately after joining that business opportunity, here come the "Industry Leaders" encouraging them to focus 100% of their time and efforts on building that particular opportunity. In fact, many network marketing companies have even written language into their distributor agreements that forbid you from participating in another business opportunity. Thankfully, that practice is less of a reality today because of successful court challenges by distributors.

And the hypocrisy of it all is the "Industry Leaders" are fully leveraging their incomes by diversifying their financial investments (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate. etc.). So if it makes since for them to secure multiple streams of investment income, why shouldn't it be OK for you to do the same with respect to business opportunities?

Just to be clear; the TBP IS NOT about giving up your current business opportunity. In fact, we actually encourage you to continue building whatever business you are building for you and your family. We are simply providing you with a platform to consider additional opportunities to add to your portfolio of business opportunities. And the TBP system shows you how to incorporate additional business opportunities without having to drive yourself crazy trying to manage and build multiple opportunities at the same time.

Support

One of the most important features of the TBP is the level of support we provide our members world-wide. And more importantly, we've worked hard to developed a friendly and open environment where TBP members are encouraged to help each other, no matter who's team your on, what country you live in or what business opportunities you're pursuing. We even have a TBP Help Center that provides prompt assistance to our members 24/7, no matter the language or country. Our main focus is working together to achieve individual and TEAM success!

Communication

Perhaps the worst experience a network marketer can have is feeling like they're not connected to other individuals in their business opportunity. Yes, many companies do send messages to their members via e-email, but there's nothing like developing a "REAL" friendship with another business opportunity partner. One that doesn't simply focus on "What have you done for me lately!". That's exactly why we developed the TBP Message Center and Discussion Forums!

The TBP Message Center and Discussion Forums allow TBP members to exchange information, ideas, personal stories ... whatever they like. And again, it doesn't matter who's upline, downline or sideline your in, we're all here to develop strong relationships (business and personal) that will nurture financial success AND personal growth.

Income

Let's face it ... the vast majority of people that join network marketing opportunities do it for the money, and that's OK! More specifically, they want to develop a second income stream (remember leveraging?).

So is the TBP for you? How you answer the following question will give you a good idea if the TBP is for you!

Which scenario would you prefer?

  1. Earning $10,000 per month from a single business opportunity.
  2. Earning $2,500 per month from 4 different business opportunity.

If you prefer #2, then the TBP is for you!

Stop Recruiting and Start Building Relationships

Unfortunately, many people fail to achieve success in network marketing because their efforts are focused on short-term growth, instead of long-term relationship building.

The prevailing mindset seems to be ... contact everyone you know, as quickly as possible about your opportunity. And if they are not receptive, then they are somehow flawed .. they just don't get it.

There's even a popular term in network marketing used to describe this scenario: 'Some will, some won't , so what, NEXT!' Not only is this short-sighted and presumptuous, but it's actually counter-productive, not to mention downright rude to whomever you're approaching. And yet, this is the path taken by a majority of network marketers, and what's worse, this behavior is encouraged by so called 'upline experts' and Multi-Level Marketing companies in general.

The result of this approach has been, and will always be frustration, alienation and failure. And unfortunately, many new and enthusiastic network marketers are simply doing what they are told, trusting that their efforts will ultimately lead to success. This paradigm represents the current state of network marketing.

So what's the alternative? Well, in my opinion, it starts with seeing your recruiting prospect as someone with whom you would like to develop a life-long friendship, one that transcends any potential monetary gain. Furthermore, don't view them as simply someone who could lead you to several other recruiting prospects, because it's this mindset that leads you down ugly the path of urgency, pressure tactics and judgment.

No matter what your sponsor or upline is telling you, make a personal commitment to always be completely open, upfront and honest about what it will take to achieve long-term success in network marketing. This means being brutally honest about the amount of time (years) and effort it will take to achieve success. And equally important, be completely honest about your own experiences in network marketing.

For most network marketers, this may feel like a very negative exchange, and could possibly result in your recruiting prospect running for the hills. And in most cases, it will conflict with the training and advice you're getting from your upline leaders. So What! Stand your ground and 'choose' to navigate your way to success with your relationships AND integrity intact. In the short-term it will be difficult, but your long term results (solid relationship AND financial success) will prove to be well worth the effort!
