Network Marketing: Is it the Answer?

So why Network Marketing? Why not a Subway or McDonald's franchise?

Did you know that on average it would cost you about $250,000.00 just for the license to start one of these franchises? That does not even include your first shipment of inventory or your building!

I always think that it is funny when people complain about investing in themselves when it comes to Network Marketing because it is a way for you to start a legitimate home based business with a very small investment in comparison to the franchise.

Most Network Marketing companies will charge you under $1000 to get started. In many cases it is only between $29-$100 (average).

With a franchise, you could spend that $250,000.00 and guess what? You are NOT even guaranteed that you will succeed!!

In most cases you will get by, but what happens to 98% of franchise owners is they buy themselves a "JOB".

I have a good friend who owns a Long John Silvers franchise and he puts in over 80 hours a week and cannot keep staff.

He comes home and is just exhausted! He said that it was the biggest mistake of his life, and he regrets it.

He really wishes that he would have leveraged his money better because not only is he putting in all those hours, but his net income last year for all of that was $69,000.00!!!

He is even in an area where he gets decent traffic.

I also know a girl who invested $436,000.00 into a Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream parlor and it literally owns her. Again, she cannot find staff that she can depend on, which seems to be common, so she has to go in at 3:00 AM and start making ice cream.

Once the ice cream is made, she opens the store and her manager gets there. She then drives home and sleeps for about 3-5 hours and has to get back to relieve her manager and take care of other duties.

She also is putting in upwards of 85 hours per week. If she cannot find a manager that she can trust, she will NEVER be able to take even a day off, because if she is not there, they would not have ice cream for the day.

Now these are just 2 examples, but if you talk to any franchise owner that you know, ask them if these are true for them as well and comment below. I would love to hear from you!

So the next time that you get someone objecting over investing $1000 to get started in a home based business, tell them these stories. Maybe it will open their mind a little bit.

Network Marketing is a level playing field. You can join a company with no high school education and make a ton of money. It does not care who or what you are, and you are GUARANTEED success if you just get to work and don't look back.

So many people fail and blame the Industry, company or product but 9 times out of 10 if you could get them to answer questions honestly you would find that they never really got started.

They probably spent their entire 2 weeks adjusting their office chair and cleaning their desks instead of putting their head down and working it like they had just invested $250,000.00!

Network Marketing IS A REAL BUSINESS!!!!!

Treat it like one!
