Network Marketing, Experts, Amateur's, and Me!



Read More: Law of Attraction  |  Personal Development

We all receive countless e-mails that tell us if we follow "their simple plan and leadership we will be successful like them! In 5, maybe 10 days. Okay, I am exaggerating. It may take a month! I have to ask, Am I stupid, or do I lack the talent to accomplish these simple tasks that others seem to find so easy? Or are they fabricating the story ? Have they "gilded the Lilly"? These "Experts" also always talk about how they have built the largest or fastest organization in their Network Marketing company.

When I get these e-mails I just wonder why are these "Experts" so willing to help me? For Money! Duh! Then I sit and think in my naive way, if they are so successful why do they need my measly $39.95, $49.95, $59.95 ...? If they are so great at what they do, and are building a network marketing business, why haven't they given all this information to the people in their downline? Is everyone in their downline experiencing the same astronomical growth? If Network Marketing is a relationship business, as I believe it is, does your downline have this program available to them? These people are in "Your" business and are, I assume, your friends. If they succeed your business increases, Right? So helping them succeed is why they should have this "super Fantastic Lead generating tool" in their arsenal. Do they? I guess I should ask if you are selling the program to them.

This is not an indictment on anyone! If you are sending out these advertisements great! I only want to share my thoughts. Please feel free to leave comments.

I just think about the people who give back to the industry. Tom "Big AL" Schreiter, Michael Dlouhy two of my mentors. they are both extremely successful. If I met either on the street and asked them a question on building a Network Marketing Business, I will bet that I would get more free information in a few minutes than most of these so called "Experts" sell in 3 or 4 programs! Why? Because they know that this is a relationship business. Not numbers. Not sell leads and systems to people. Just develop relationships. I am on a mental cleanse call every Wednesday and we read and comment on a chapter of the book "How to Think and Grow Rich"by Napolean Hill. I have learned more about myself through this process than anything I have done before in my life. My cost for this program? Zero! I have been able to clear much of the static in my brain. There is still alot of clutter but I am a work in progress! The reason for this exercise is to help people! Michael Dlouhy doesn't need to do a mental cleanse. If he wanted to he could sit at home with his wife and do what ever they want to do! They could probably charge a fee for the Mental Cleanse. People who have been on it would agree I am sure. People helping people. That is what Networking is about.

If you are building a Network Marketing business and would like help look no farther. If you are willing to give me no money, Zero, Nada I may be able to help you. You must also be coachable.
Am I an expert? No, I told you I am a work in progress. I do have two Mentors that know more about Network Marketing than most and as much as anyone in the industry. And they charge the same for their services. If you would like to develop a friendship with a fellow networker I am always looking to expand my horizons. I hope to hear from you and will share all that I know and am learning.

Good Luck and God Bless You!

Hi Timothy Thanks for your

Hi Timothy

Thanks for your thoughts.  nicely put.  I also get 100's of emails a day telling me this is the guaranteed way to succeed.  I wasted a lot of time AND money following a lot of tips and then finally landed on Mentoring for Free.  My experience totally matches yours - true genuine support and no hand out.

I am enjoying the 30-day cleanse - not watching the news every day is freeing up 2-3 hrs a day....that I can be on the internet connecting with other marketers.  So much to learn and so much to do.

I am loving the experience of growing into my dreams....each day, one step at a time.

Look forward to more connecting with you.

Sincerely

Too many books

Theren is too many books that have no follow up. It takes real people to help another. Everyone needs a mentor.

Thanks
