Can You Really Succeed in Network Marketing/MLM?

So you decided to start a home based business or maybe you are

just looking into it. There is a daunting statistic that is staring you

in the face: 9 out of 10 of you out there will never make more than

$100 a month. That’s a far cry from $5k, isn’t it? That is some stat,

and yet thousands of people daily make the decision to dive into

starting their own home based business. Is it your path to financial

security? What is the real difference between the haves and the

don’t haves? The difference between making $0 and $10k

monthly? This gap is no more apparent than in Network

Marketing/MLM. What is the secret to succeeding in your own

home based business? Better yet, do you want to be successful?

That question may seem odd, and you may say “of course I do,

doesn’t everyone?” The answer to that question may surprise you.

20/20 did a story some time ago where they interviewed several

People that were part of Amway. Most of the time we heard from

the complainers. They complained about not being able to succeed

and the garage full of soap they couldn’t sell. Pretty damning

evidence that it just doesn’t work. At the very end of the story they

gave about 2 minutes and interviewed Bill Bright. He was sitting

in front of his palatial home and was asked how he succeeded

where so many others failed. What was his secret? The answer was

simple and not very surprising at all. He showed ‘the plan’ or

business to 1200 people, and this was before the internet made it

possible to contact thousands a month. He had face to face contact

with 1200 people!

Of course not everyone joined him. 300 people signed up. 215 did

not build a business. 85 were serious, 30 actually built a business. 11

made him a millionaire! That was his secret, work. Let me say that

again- WORK! He did the work. What would you do in the face of

900 no’s? Would you quit after 10, 20, 100, 500? Most people do.

The good thing now is that there are systems in place to help people

succeed and it is less daunting than speaking to someone face to face

and getting rejected. Who wants that?! However, you still must do

the work and get your business out there. Thomas Edison tried over

10,000 times to invent the light bulb. The point is, he didn’t fail, he

just found 10,000 ways that did not work.

People have choices, you have a choice. People don’t really fail in this

business - people quit! They quit on their dreams, they quit on

themselves. They get comfortable where they are in life. They start

to dream smaller, and expect less. Very successful people realize

that they won’t hit a home run every time up. Babe Ruth, that

famous Yankee slugger, got a hit only 3 out of 10 times at bat. What

you have to realize is that it will take work and sacrifice to succeed

in anything you do! Where are your priorities? Where do you spend

your time?

If someone is saying that they want success, but are not doing what it

takes to succeed, do they really want success? It’s ok if they don’t.

Not everyone is cut out for this life, although everyone can achieve it,

if they want it.

Network Marketing is the best business to be in because there are

successes like Bill Bright to study. Where else can you start a business

that has the potential to set you free for less than $500. There have

been people before you that have done it! Don’t try to re-invent the

wheel. Learn from the success of others. In this business the only

way you can succeed is by helping others succeed. Isn’t that they

way it should be, we can all be successful together. You just need

to make a decision. Make a decision to succeed, a decision for your

future. That is the reason you are here, isn’t it?

To Great Success,
