Welcome to episode 22! Have you hosted book clubs for your team? Are they well attended? Do you find that most read and finish the book? If so, GREAT! Keep it up! For those on your team that you’re not reaching through book club, add my “No-Book, Book-Club” strategy and connect with more team members. On the flip side, If you have been hosting book clubs, but struggle with engagement, participation, or interest and it’s more work than effective, my “No-Book, Book-Club” strategy is for you and your team! You can find the full transcript of this episode at crazybigdreams.biz/22. Ok, I love book clubs. I tend to read a wider variety of books by authors I wouldn’t normally pursue on my own. Not to mention, the discussion is rich and offers a perspective that I don’t always see on my own. I always get practical and thought-provoking tips from my mastermind book club. It’s always valuable. Why Book Club Doesn’t Work for Every Direct Sales TeamAll that said, book club is not for everyone. Even those that start off interested in the book, and participate, can get discouraged and stop attending if they fall behind in reading. Some people feel they simply don’t have time for reading. Those that do feel they have the time when it starts, may end up too busy to continue before the book is wrapped and the club is done meeting. The New “No-Book-Book-Club” for Direct Sales Leaders and Their TeamMy strategy for you is to offer a “No-Book, Book-Club” to your team. Personal growth and development still happens. Conversation can still take place. You can still meet about content to offer a belief building, personal development, and connection point to your team. This can all happen in addition to your well-running book clubs or instead of. You get to decide. Better yet, let your team decide.  A “No-Book, Book-Club” is not centered around a book, but focused on a podcast! Yes! A podcast. It doesn’t have to be focused on network marketing. You can pick any podcast covering life-enhancing, personal development topics that would be timely for your team. It can be a single podcast episode from any podcast you feel your team would benefit from. Or, you can listen to four different episodes from the same podcast to cover each week of the month. There are many podcasts that have shorter episodes ranging from 5 to 20 minutes. Others are up to an hour. I recommend choosing based on message and content vs. time. Either way, it will be much less of a time commitment than reading a book. I recommend choosing an episode, but know why you’re choosing it and why you feel it would be timely for your team. Discussion Questions for Your Direct Sales “No-Book, Book-Club”Create a handful of discussion questions.
