Is Your MLM Sponsor Responsible For Your Success? – The Laws of Duplication
Your Sponsor has zero responsibility for your success.
Your success is totally up to you.
The person that enrolled you has a responsibility to be available to you and to provide you with the tools for you create success in your business.
But they are neither personally responsible nor accountable for the outcome of what you do with the knowledge and tools passed on to you.
As a network marketer and entrepreneur your keys to success are within you. Your sponsor has merely provided you with the car and the knowledge on how to drive it. YOU have to turn the key and start it and put it in drive.
That may sound harsh to you, but remember, I’m the one that tells you what no one else will.
There is a bright side though. The success of your sponsor is linked to your success. It is in their best interest for you to succeed.
Without your success it is more responsibility and work placed on them.
Have you heard this saying: “Would you rather have 100% effort from one person or 1% effort from 100 people?”
It’s much easier to teach 100 people one simple task and have it duplicated than to teach 1 person how to do everything. 100 people means 100 times the available time to perform the tasks.
The sum of the parts is greater than the whole.
This is a business of leverage.
It is simply teaching people how to utilize the time and talents of others. It is a duplication of efforts.
Laws of Duplication:
1. KISS – Keep It Short & Simple – Always ask yourself: Is this something that anyone can do? You want people to see it as easy and that they can do it. If you are over complicating things then no one will be able to duplicate your efforts,,, and no one will want to either. You want people to say “I can do it, and I wouldn’t mind doing it everyday.”
2. It Has To Be Able To Work Anywhere – It needs to be simple enough that someone living in the middle of nowhere with no friends or contacts can duplicate. It needs to be able to work without your continued presence and holding the hand of everyone in your downline.
3. It Has To Be Able To Work For Anyone – The most socially inept person with zero knowledge about network marketing must be able to duplicate your success. People have to be able to have a chance at making network marketing work for them.
4. The Law Of 3rd Party – Whenever you are presenting your business you want anything or anyone other than you presenting your business. Whether that be a guest speaker or an online webinar or a recorded presentation.
This law ties all the others together. You could be an expert on your company’s product, compensation, and history of the founders. But it is still not wise to present all of that info because it takes a long time to gain that knowledge and you want what you do to appear simple, work anywhere, and for anyone. A new person in the company cannot do a full presentation, but they can invite someone to see one.
How you present the business to your prospects is how they are going to be picturing themselves presenting the business.
Randy Gage is very successful in network marketing. He gives presentations of his company all the time. But he does not give presentations to his own prospects. Because he understands that what he does needs to look like it’s super easy to do.
So is your sponsor responsible for your success? No.
But, if they want success of their own, then they are responsible for making sure you are duplicate their success and make yourself victorious. Therefore, as a sponsor and mentor, it is also your responsibility to do the same.

That was a very good post! Love ya Stephanie! I know my upline doesn’t do much to help me but I’m still having success because I want to have success. I like the 3rd party point about having someone else present your business. It brings credibility to your business because people see that someone else is doing your business too.
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
Valuable info. Lucky me I found your site by accident, I bookmarked it.
