🔑 1. Start with a Strong “Why”
Your motivation will fuel your consistency. Whether it’s financial freedom, time with family, or helping others—know your “why” and revisit it often.
📚 2. Plug Into Training Immediately
LegalShield offers powerful tools and training:
Attend weekly team calls and webinars
Complete the Fast Start Training
Use the LegalShield Advantage app for scripts, tracking, and resources
🤝 3. Lean on Your Upline and Mentors
You’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Connect with your sponsor and team leaders. They’ve walked the path and can help you avoid common pitfalls.
📞 4. Focus on Activity, Not Just Results
Success is a numbers game. Track your daily activity:
How many people did you contact?
How many presentations did you share?
How many follow-ups did you complete?
Consistency compounds.
💬 5. Master the Invitation
You don’t need to be a legal expert—just a great inviter. Use simple scripts to invite people to:
Watch a short video
Attend a Zoom presentation
Meet your mentor
Let the tools do the talking.
🧰 6. Use the Tools, Don’t Be the Tool
LegalShield provides videos, brochures, apps, and presentations. Share these instead of trying to explain everything yourself. This keeps the process duplicatable.
🏆 7. Qualify for the Performance Club
Make this your first goal. It’s a sign you’re building your business the right way—and it comes with bonuses, recognition, and momentum.
🌱 8. Stay Coachable and Keep Learning
The most successful associates are always learning. Read books, listen to podcasts, and attend events. Growth mindset = business growth.
🧭 9. Set Clear, Weekly Goals
Break your big goals into weekly targets:
How many new exposures?
How many follow-ups?
How many new members or recruits?
Track your progress and adjust as needed.
💡 10. Be Patient, Persistent, and Positive
This is a marathon, not a sprint. Some people will say no. Some will ghost you. That’s okay. Stay positive, stay consistent, and your business will grow.
