Stop Recruiting. Start Connecting. The Difference Is Everything.

Recruiting is a transaction.

Connecting is a transformation.

The moment I stopped trying to "get" people and started trying to "help" people, my team exploded. More importantly, they stayed.

Here's the shift that changed everything.

The Old Model (And Why It Burns People Out)

For years, I approached team building like a numbers game:

• Throw spaghetti at the wall, see what sticks
• Pitch everyone, sort through the maybes
• "Some will, some won't, so what, who's next"
• Focus on getting people signed up

This model creates massive turnover. People join excited, realize it's harder than they thought, and quit within 90 days.

Why? Because they were RECRUITED, not CONNECTED.

When you recruit someone, you're focused on what you need from them. When you connect with someone, you're focused on what they need from you.

Big difference.

People don't join opportunities. They join people.

— Robert Blakely

Here's what I discovered: The team that stays is the team that was CONNECTED, not recruited.

When you stop trying to GET people and start trying to HELP people, everything changes.

The business becomes about relationships instead of transactions. Your team becomes a community instead of a downline. Your income becomes residual instead of constantly having to replace people who quit.

Stop recruiting. Start connecting. The difference is everything.
