Why people will not join your business
One of the biggest obstacles that many network marketers find when they join the business is that they just can not recruit anyone into their business. Try as they might, it just does not happen. Needless to say that this is a very discouraging obstacle to face. When you are new in the business, you are full of happiness, eagerness, and great vibes. However when one of these naysayers say no, guess what, the bubble bursts. Many people just can not get past the point of people not joining their business, and most do not stop to think why it happens.
1. You are not unlucky
I personally am convinced that there is no such thing as luck. Believe me, I did not think like this not at all too long ago. However, when I started to really analyze things, I realized that luck has nothing to do with anything. My failures in MLM or any other venture were not because I was not meant to make it, or I just had a bad break. It was because I had not either had the necessary education or put in the work required to attain the goals I wanted to achieve. When you realize that things are not going your way its because you are not making it happen, things begin to change drastically.
When that light bulb went off in my head, I started to really think, why the hell am I whining about being unlucky. I need to just shut up and make it happen. If other people can do it, I can do it too. Its not just luck or coincidence that the successful people are successful. These people are hard working, smart, and most importantly they have the right mindset. Your perception of “luck” will change drastically once you accept the fact that you make your own luck.
2. People do not hate you
I remember when i first started in network marketing, I used to think that people must not like me. I could not explain how other people in my company were able to build huge organizations and I was not. I was doing everything they told me to do, so why can’t I do it?
I finally realized that it was not that people did not like me, it was that I was not a confident and intelligent marketer. I did not have the smooth personality or the knowledge in network marketing. I was not bestowing the type of image that naturally attracted people. So in order to change the results in business, I would have to change the way I approached people and the way I thought. Mindset is so damn important, I can not stress it enough.
3. People do not hate your product
A big misconception of people in the network marketing industry is that people hate your product. The truth is, most of the time people actually have a need or like your product. The reason that they don’t buy it from you is because People HATE to be Sold. Its not just some cliche either. People really hate it. Just think about it, when you get a telemarketing call, do you actually really listen to what is being offered? I bet you don’t. A lot of the times, these calls are for products that you have a use for or want. The thing is, you do not want to be bothered. You want to get the product on your terms, of your own will so to speak.
Learning that People Hate to be Sold is a huge lesson to learn. It gets you out of the typical salesperson mindset and into the relationship mindset which ultimatley is the mindset needed to succeed in network marketing. If there is one thing that I can not stress enough to people in mlm is to not sell to people. Get to know the people first, because you know what? They are people like you.
That does not mean they will buy from or join you because they are like you. No, this means, you need to treat these people the way in which you want to be treated. Chances are, you find out that you would not buy from you.
4. People do not hate Pyramid Schemes
People really do not hate pyramid schemes, they just do not understand them. If they really hated pyramid schemes, they would hate Corporate America and our government for that matter. The fact is, people do not bother to see the facts and get educated before they make an opinion about something. Most people can not get past the negative stigma of a pyramid scheme. They choose to listen to others or rely on society to base an opinion for them. However if they do have previous experience in mlm and they thing its a scam, it is because they FAILED.
When I say FAILED, I really mean it. Most of these whiners are people that did not put forth the correct effort and or have the right mindset to succeed in the first place. So how can they even be counted as proving that mlm is a scam?
5. People are not evil, well for the most part
I know that when you talk to people about your product/business and they either say somethin negative or turn you down, you think these people are just jerks or worse. :lol:
The fact is, people may just not have an interest what you have to offer. That is no shocker. You do not like everything in the world and so do others. The biggest reason why it is hard to accept this fact is because you really enjoy your product/business. I know this was part of the problem with me. I could not understand how people could not like what I had to offer. It was something everyone needed and at a discounted rate.
The problem was, I loved the product and opportunity too much to see that others might not share my same views. Human beings tend to always be shocked when others do not like what we like. Just think about when you bring your new girlfriend to your friends, and they dislike her. You get offended and can not believe that they do not like her. The truth is, is that no one will always agree on something. You will like what you like, and other will like what they like, and you should not try and change that. Free will is Free will.
In closing, I would like to say to anyone who thinks that they are not cut out for this business, is probably right. You are what you think. However I think that anyone can make it. With the right mindset, determination, and work ethic, great things are possible.
Do not let people not joining your business slow you down. It is going to happen and it happens to everyone. Do not dwell on it. Keep your eyes on the prize. If you are serious about your business, your business will become a great business. Seriously!

Ultimately it's mindset
Alex, a person will succeed at MLM or anything else for that matter when he believes. The more people believe the higher will be mass consciousness ... I for one firmly believe network marketing is the panacea for the world today and in future.
More on this consciousness thingy in my article here
Great article. Good
Great article.
Good luck,
Dean.
haha just kidding. No such thing as luck.
Actually, I think there is. Not everyone falls on their feet no matter how hard they work. Maybe they were to busy working hard to notice opportunity, maybe they just didn't know what to look for.
Being prepared and getting yourself educated certainly helps bring good luck your way though.
Good stuff.
Yes, Mindset is the Key!
You have to believe with all of your heart that you will be successful and you will be if you put in the work required and attract the right people to your business. No one likes to be "sold" so you need tools that will attract people to join you. I have learned this the hard way by going after all the wrong people and scaring my friends and family away. Attraction marketing systems that have the prospects calling you are definitley the best way to go.
Thanks, I enjoyed this
