Hey, my friend,
I know what you’re thinking…
“Fire 90% of my downline? That sounds crazy!”
But here’s the deal—most network marketers are stuck in quantity over quality mode, desperately clinging to every person they’ve ever recruited. They think the bigger the downline, the bigger the paycheck.
Wrong.
In reality, a bloated, unproductive downline is actually holding you back—draining your time, energy, and momentum.
That’s why today, I’m going to show you why trimming the fat is not only the best thing for your business, but also the most ethical and strategic move you can make.
And don’t worry—you can do it without being a jerk, burning bridges, or feeling guilty.
Let’s dive in.
The Biggest Lie in Network Marketing
Most people believe:
🚀 Big Downline = Big Success
But the truth is:
🔥 High-Performing Downline = Big Success
See the difference?
Network marketing isn’t about how many people you have—it’s about who you have.
Here’s Why: The 80/20 Rule
You’ve probably heard of the Pareto Principle (aka the 80/20 Rule). It applies to almost everything in life, including your downline.
✔ 20% of your team will generate 80% of your results.
✔ The other 80%? Dead weight.
Now, imagine what happens when you stop pouring energy into the wrong people and double down on your top 20%.
⚡ More results.
⚡ More momentum.
⚡ More money.
Sounds better, right?
So, if you’re tired of dragging your downline like an anchor, it’s time to cut the dead weight.
How to Fire 90% of Your Downline (Without Being Rude)
Now, I’m not saying to call up 90% of your team and tell them, “Hey, you’re fired.”
That’s not how we roll.
Here’s the right way to do it:
Step 1: Identify Your Winners
Take a good look at your team. Separate the serious players from the tire-kickers.
Who’s actually:
✅ Taking action?
✅ Showing up?
✅ Plugging into the system?
Those are your real teammates. The rest? They’re just spectators.
Step 2: Shift Your Energy
Instead of spreading yourself thin trying to save everyone, focus on coaching, supporting, and mentoring your top players.
Give them your time. Give them your energy. Help them win.
Because when they win… YOU win.
Step 3: Let Go (Gracefully)
For the bottom 90%, don’t “fire” them—free them.
💡 How? Simple.
Stop chasing them. Stop micromanaging. Stop trying to convince them.
Instead, send a message like this:
“Hey [Name], I know you joined this business for a reason, and I want to see you succeed. But I also know that success comes from commitment, and right now, I’m putting my energy into the people who are really ready to run. If you ever decide you’re ready to go all-in, I’ll be here. Until then, no hard feelings.”
Boom. No drama. No hard feelings. No awkwardness.
They can step up… or step out. Either way, you win.
The Hidden Benefits of Downsizing Your Downline
The moment you trim the fat, something amazing happens:
✔ Your efficiency skyrockets. No more wasted time on people who “might” take action.
✔ Your morale improves. You build a team that actually wants to win.
✔ Your reputation grows. You become a leader known for quality, not just numbers.
And when you level up, you start attracting better people—the kind of recruits who actually want to work.
That’s how you build a powerful, profitable, and rejection-proof business.
