I can't really call it a mistake either.. This is a journey of discovery. I never would have discovered some things about myself had it not been for this profession.

I would have to say joining to many opportunities at once and not focusing on a primary business. Also not choosing the right people to be apart of your team.

bingo you hit the nail on the head , i did that I was so excited about someone joining I signed up people based on excitement .

The biggest mistake I see in this industry is that inexperienced distributors are duplicating themselves when they have not been taught properly in the first place. Chinese whisper effect.

"It's easy - go out and find 5 who find 5 who find 5 ....... and Bingo - residual income for life!""

It is a fact that 80% of the population do NOT have the desire or the perseverence to make any business (traditional or MLM) work because they will not take the time to personally develop themselves or have any real inclination to do anything about their "circumstances".

We cannot change this - we just have to accept it.

My BIG mistake - I had so much enthusiasm and I wanted it so much for my team that I would have done it all for them. BIG mistake - the minute I stopped doing it for them and stopped motivating them - guess what ? - They stopped too, because the desire was not really THEIRS.

What we can do is focus on the 20% of people who really do want to change their lives - make them show YOU what their commitment level is and then SHOW them a way to achieve it.

Assume everyone is your next superstar, until they don't do something they say they're going to do.
The leaders will soon emerge!

Nicky you really told the truth with this one .My sponsor told me to get 5 and your team will need 5 and list goes on.

Not one mistake. All and everything was simply an opportunity to learn. Even if it was to learn how NOT to do it !

Seriously, sometimes it took me a while to realize what I was doing or saying was not giving me the results I wanted. Some would call those decisions: mistakes. They weren't. And yes sometimes I still kick myself that it took me so long to realize I needed to step back and see what the results were before I spent more energy and effort on any particular method or system or for that fact, my company.

But they all added to my experience and if that's the case, they can't be called mistakes. Only learning curves.

Exactly , I'm still learning and I have along way to go

One mistake I have made was when I first started a while ago. Yeah you most probably guessed it by now. I turned to my friends and told them about the business I joined, the income opportunity etc. Some of them joined lol but for nothing really because they either left after like a week or didn't bother doing anything after the sign up was complete!

That's when I learnt forget about chasing family and friends. It's time to hit the world and find my target market. People with a similar train of thought and are business minded like myself!

Kind regards

Hi,

There no such thing as mistakes. We only do things to learn new things.
