Thank you for visiting Mommy Lynn Blog. My name is Lynn and I am from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Above is a picture of me and my husband, Will when we visited Hong Kong.
In this article, I will share with you 8 tips on how to build the BE International MLM business opportunity as a couple.
But before that, please allow me to introduce myself.
My husband and I are professional network marketer and we have been building our MLM business since March 2018.
The company that we partnered with for our business is BE International.
Currently, BE International has its branch offices and distribution channel in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Hong Kong and Indonesia.
What are the benefits of building a network marketing business as a husband and wife team?
If you are reading article, I assume you have a significant other or spouse.
If you are still single, please share this article with your married team members.
Let me start by sharing these three observations about building a network marketing business with you.
In nearly 99 out of 100 cases, from my experience, one partner is excited about the business and the other person is either neutral or negative.
If this describes you, you’re not alone. Opposites attract.
When a couple works together to build the BE business, they compound their efforts and can achieve success much quicker than a single person.
These “power couples” are quite rare, but when you find them they are practically unstoppable.
You don’t need a supportive spouse to succeed in network marketing, although it definitely helps.
If you stick with it, and follow through with your initial decision, and build it big, they will come around and eventually support you.
While it’s not normal to see a couple working together to build their BE business, it does happen from time to time.
Assuming your spouse is on board with you, here are 8 tips which can help to move you forward with your BE MLM Business.
1) Share Your Goals & Why
If you want harmony in your relationship and business, you should share your goals and why with your partner.
You should make the time to discover what each person wants out of the business.
More importantly, learn your partner’s goals and dreams, so you can help fulfill them.
I’ve found that if the other person knows WHY you’re doing the business, and your WHY includes them, they are normally more supportive.
2) Set Clear Roles
When it comes to build network marketing business as a couple, you should have set roles.
These “roles” will vary from relationship to relationship based upon each person’s skills, personality, and talents.
Make it clear about who is responsible for what and make sure you each stay in your lane.
For example, one of the activity I’ll do for our BE business is creating video content to generate business leads.
Below is an example of the video content I’ve created and uploaded to our TikTok account.
My husband does not like to create video content.
He prefer to write articles and publish on our blog.
Since he is good in write, I will leave the text content creation to him.
Here’s a tip, do not try to micro-manage your partner.
When you micro manage your spouse, it will create strain in the relationship.
When one partner constantly oversees the other’s tasks, it can create frustration and resentment.
The feeling of not being trusted or valued can strain the business relationship which may also spill over to your personal relationaship.
Micro management can also erode trust between you and your spouse, leading to a breakdown in communication and cooperation.
Micro management also leads to inefficiencies as it takes time and effort to oversee every detail, rather than focusing on individual strength.
If an issue arises, you know who will be responsible to address it.
When you pick “lanes” focus on your strengths.
For example, if he wife is outgoing and a social butterfly, have her do the presentations and selling while the husband manages the behind the scenes things.
Trust each other’s abilities and empower one another to make decisions and take action.
3) Value Each Other’s Input
Two people working together is always better than one person going it alone.
You can share your insights, mistakes, learnings and thoughts with each other.
4) Put the Relationship First
Your relationship should always come first.
Of course, that is easier said than done.
What can you do when you and your spouse are working hard building the business?
Make sure you maintain your date night and family time each day / week.
Also, don’t make the mistake of acting like your spouse’s boss or employer.
You are their partner not their boss!
There’s a high likelihood you will be in your “marriage” or “relationship” longer than you will ever be in business together, so keep your relationship the # 1 thing.
5) Play to Each Other’s Strengths
Opposites attract. That is what I have found.
Normally, an extrovert marries and introvert.
If you were to write down your skills and talents, I’m sure they would be different from your partner’s skills and talents.
However, when these skills are combined, and you work together, you can do great things.
Let each person shine with their own natural talents.
6) Celebrate Your Successes
If you’re working with your partner to build your BE International business together, make sure you celebrate your successes, even the smallest of victories.
Do things together to celebrate each milestone you achieve in the business.
Plan trips together, meals out together, and celebrate together.
These will turn out to be some of your fondest memories.
7) Have Fun
Keep things fun.
Take your business seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously.
Laugh and have fun.
Smile and be nice to each other.
Make your partner laugh and smile whenever you can.
8) Don’t Make Your Spouse Jealous
If you are working with the opposite sex to build your business (which happens a lot), don’t put yourself in a situation that makes your partner uncomfortable.
Keep them informed with who you are working with, especially if the person is the opposite sex.
For example, if you are a guy and you are working with a single lady, don’t meet up with the single lady in person unless your spouse is with you.
That’s all for my sharing and I hope this article was helpful for you.
