No to Crab-Mentality

Filipino Crab-Mentality. If I can't have it NEITHER can YOU!
       Why is it that the Filipino Crabs don't have a cover when put in a pot? Why is it the other crabs have a cover in their pot? This is because of a toxic mentality called CRAB-MENTALITY. Individually, Crabs could easily escape from the bucket or pot. However, if the rest of the crabs have a feeling of either Envy, Conspiracy, of Competitive feelings, they will pull you down just to get themselves on top. They will either spread a bad rumor, and gossip against you which will cause others to think opposite of who you really are. This is also analogous to the behavior of a person who diminishes or pulls down anyone else who achieves or is about to achieve success greater than their own.

Whenever I see a Downline that is able to lift himself/herself out of an unstable financial situation, it makes me happy. I'd be even happier if my Downline surpassed my earnings. Changing the lives of your Downlines are more important than competing with them for the higher income.

People who can't help but say anything negative about their colleague usually had their ego or pride torn apart. People who experience this kind of train of thought are said to have a crab-mentality.

Do you think you have a crab-mentality or not?

Take a closer look at what the co-worker is saying.
When I started out in Network Marketing, I once had an Upline that showed me his earnings. A few minutes after he showed it to me, his Upline came in the room upset because his Downline had surpassed him. He declared that his Downline will never surpass him again in his earnings. After that time, I started seeing another side of my Upline's Upline that I've never seen before. He started becoming irritable. He started discouraging my Upline's system (which produced 50x better and bigger results than he did), he started asking him for his ideas and upcoming plans and STOLE them by saying it was HIS idea and that my Upline was the one that copied him, he also discouraged my Upline's speeches (which always drew a roaring crowd of cheerers), and even spread gossip against him in our company. With this, my Upline started feeling discouraged, because the one person he looked up to as his Mentor looked at him as a competition, not as a Downline. Morevoer, he also took everything personally instead of professionally. After this part in my Upline's life, he switched companies and made sure to set a culture for all Downlines to receive proper treatment. Seeing this happen to my Upline made me grateful that he always encouraged me after what he's been through. After he left the company, I followed him in our current company I support his far out but not impossible idea of Team Support. I also admired his vision of creating a culture for our Downlines to be able to cultivate their capabilities, skills, and potentials to make them Financially Free Individuals. Changing lives of others are better than changing your own. But with Network Marketing, you can do both. If you change your Downlines life, financially, your financial life will be changed as well. It's a positive domino effect.

 My advise to other Network Marketers out there is to always put your Pride aside. So what if your Downline is more hardworking than you are? Doesn't that mean that it's time that you need to exert more effort? So what if your Downline is earning more than you are? Doesn't that mean that he's doing something extra that you should be doing? So what if your Downlines group is bigger than yours? Doesn't it mean that it's time you took a step back and analyzed the things you lack?
     
Instead of being jealous and envious of the results of your Downlines, you should commend them for their efforts for changing their lives and even encourage them to continue that path he is doing. Whatever he/she is doing should be right. Now if your Downline seems to be stagnating and not earning then he is definitely doing something wrong. This would be the right time to show them the right path of earning.

Help unleash the potential of your people. Don't contain it where it can rot and never put it aside where it can accumulate dust. Always encourage progress. If your Downlines are earning, doesn't it mean that you are earning, too? Does it not feel great knowing that you became a big part in the progress or growth of another?
