The Six Keys to Working Smarter Focus Train Adopt Automate Delegate Duplicate

Focus If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. What is your overriding goal? What is the time frame for achieving it? Ask yourself the “R-Factor Question”: “If this were three years from today, what would have to have taken place over that period of time, both personally and professionally for me to feel happy about my progress?”

The Green Card Formula Decide on the level of annual, residual income that you want to be earning in the next 3 years from your Conklin business. Plug it into this formula to determine the size of a network of IBOs and field managers needed to achieve that level of income.

Annual Income $ ÷ $1700 = # IBOs.08

$50,000 ÷ $1700 = #IBOs.08 $50,000 ÷ $1700 = #IBOs.08 $625,000 ÷ $1700 = 368 IBOs $625,000 ÷ $1700 = 368 IBOs

If you goal is to develop a successful Conklin roofing business or other profitable contracting operation a similar formula can be used to determine what it will require to reach your income goal. Annual $50,000 ÷ $10,000* = 15 roofs.33 * Based on specialization on the MR Roofing system, an average project size of 6,500 square feet and bid price of $1.55 per square foot.

Use a “Goal Line” to chart your 3-year plan to reaching your desired level of success in the Conklin Business Beware of “The Gap” The goal is progress… Not perfection

Adopt a System Successful people figure out “how things work”, create a system that puts them in control of the outcome (to as high a degree as possible) and then do it over and over and over… improving their duplicable system as they go. Take advice from your field managers & mentors Adopt a system that fits you

Delegate A law of business: To the degree that you involve others in your business will your business succeed. Look for people skilled in areas in which you are challenged. Don’t overlook your upline, spouse or other family members, people in your existing IBO network, or others in the Conklin organization that have a particular expertise. Develop a team. Together Everyone Achieves More!

Duplicate Always be asking yourself, “Does it duplicate?” Identify the willing students in your organization Look for people that demonstrate the “Four Referability Traits”

“ Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” Calvin Coolidge 30 th President of the United States
