I just give them the MAP. It's the same plan I followed over the years to move myself up SFI's Power Rankings.
I still refer to it today when I get off course. The MAP will lead you back no matter what stage you are at.
Minimum Action Plan (MAP)
1. Become and remain an Executive Affiliate.
2. Find 5 to join you.
3. Teach them the same.
This is the foundation of every successful SFI business, if you are not having the success you desire look at the MAP. Identify and work on the area
where you are lacking (You can always do more, but never do less.). We become overwhelmed when we try to take in too much or do too much, we get caught up
in the details and lose focus on the basics. Use the MAP to filter out the noise.
SFI isn't "rocket science" it's "1st grade science".
Here's an excerpt from an article I wrote in 2005 that relates to being overwhelmed.
The green thumb approach is what I refer to as the MAP today.
"The green thumb approach... My way. The simplest way!
It reminds me of when I was in 1st grade. We were each given a styrofoam cup, a handful of dirt, a bean seed and some water. With no knowledge of photosynthesis, the reproductive properties of the bean, soil to seed ratio or any of the details why... 30 six-year olds managed to GROW a bean!
SFI isn't much different... you have all the tools, just put it together and LET IT HAPPEN!
What would the the results have been if my 1st grade class were given too many choices. Would a flower pot be better than a styrofoam cup? Plastic or clay?
Green, white or red? What kind of soil? Sand, silt, clay or loam? Hybrid seed or heirloom? Green bean, wax bean, pinto bean or maybe a lima bean? Rain water... tap water... Evian?
Imagine how quickly they would have lost interest, if they were bombarded with all these decisions. The FUN would quickly have faded. How many would have remained focused? How many would have just grown bored, distracted or simply quit?
Whether you are 6 years old trying to grow a bean or 60 years old trying to grow your business, if you bog yourself down with the details... you will lose focus on the basics.
The green thumb approach is about the basics... be it bean or business... focus on the basics and it will GROW..."
