My Greatest Trial Will be Your Greatest Success

I am writing this blog in the hope that it will inspire the 97% of the population that has failed in network marketing. Most of us know that our personal failure is not really our fault. It is the fault of the company or our personal sponsor or anything else we want to blame it on.

That is not true. Most of the reasons, I believe we have failed is that we have not treated our MLM like a business. A lot of us are lazy. We are expecting to become Millionaires overnight. I can assure you that that will not happen. The only way to become a Millionaire is to WORK like you already are one.

MLM is a business. It is your business. It should be treated as such. It does help if your personal sponsor is always available to answer your questions. Even if they aren't, there should be someone involved with your MLM that can assist you. After all, you did buy into the idea, that "you are in business for yourself, but never by yourself." What if this is not the case? Then what do you do? Do you quit? Do you say that MLM is a scam and start believing what your friends and relatives tell you? Of course not, you can always find answers. You just need to know where to look for them. This site is an excellent place to start. If you are like me though, it will be easy to get overwhelmed with "information overload."

Now, I am going to share with you what I have discovered through A LOT of trial and error. These are basic principles. I believe in the KISS formula. Keep It Simple, Silly.

I am about to contradict something I said earlier. Some of the blame for your failure in MLM has to do with the company you are involved with. Most of them have Compensation Plans that create competition among their distributors. Most of the distributors involved with most MLM's are too busy looking out for Number 1. There is no incentive at all for them to help you. There is no Financial benefit involved for them. They are not going to earn a cent for helping you to be successful. So why should they help you?

There is a new MLM that is only a year old, that has created a Compensation Plan to eliminate competition among their distributors. Everyone works together to insure everyone's success. Then everyone benefits. It sounds like the perfect plan to me. In the month of July, they experienced a 300% growth rate. That is unheard of with most companies today. Even well-established ones. This company is the first of its kind. Most people who have never experienced success in MLM before, ARE experiencing it now. I love this quote by Warren Buffett. Most of you probably know who he is. The quote reads as follows: "In order to CREATE success, you must be FIRST with an idea, and then be the FIRST to tell the world about that idea. The best time to get involved is at the BEGINNING, not in the middle and not at the end, but at INCEPTION!!!!"

I am a Natural Health FANATIC. If you have read anything that I have written, you already know that. There is big money to be made in marketing products and services in the Health and Wellness Industry. That is why there is A LOT of competition out there. Aging is something all of us have to do whether we like it or not. It is also the industry where there are A LOT of MLM failures. It is also the industry where there are the most Millionaires as well. That just creates more revenue for those of us who hang in there. The only sure fire way to fail is to quit.

So, what are we supposed to do in order to succeed with our MLM that is part of the Health and Wellness Industry? First of all, we become a product of our product and "SHARE IT" with everybody we come into contact with. We tell them how it has changed our life. How it has helped us to personally overcome some of our physical challenges. What sets our product apart from everybody elses'. Notice I said "Share it," not harrasss.

How do you share it? How do you share information about the BEST restaurant you ever ate at? The same concept. Everybody networks. I just did tonight. I told one of my clients for the charity I work for about my mechanic. The next time she needs car repairs done, guess where she is taking her car? Will my mechanic send me some cash to say, "thank you" when she brings her car in for repairs? No. But when you share your product with people and they purchase it, you will get paid.

I hope these suggestions help. If you want more information, please give me a call at: 440-427-0513.

If there are any suggestions that you would like to share on your successes or what you have learned from your failures, please feel free to include them here. Thank you.
