Before I get into this is subject, I'm not trying to offend anybody. If you are involved in network marketing and you are having success, hey keep up the good work! You are part of the 3%, but the 97%? Different movie.

It took me to 10 years to realize this. I always wonder how guys like Mike Dillard, Randy Gage, The Late Jim Rohn, built organizations in no time. In all the Network Marketing Companies, that I have been involved I used to get upset at guys that came after me and be in the top with the company. Obviously it was very immature from me to get upset at them, or my sponsor. I was too proud to admit the real problem, which was ME, MYSELF AND I.

A Lot of People think Network Marketing is dirty, unethical, and that’s certainly not true. The Us Government promotes Network Marketing, so does Robert Kiyosaki. Donald Trump just launched a Network Marketing Company, so Network Marketing is here to stay.

So what is key? The secret? The Training is the same for everyone, it does not change. The answer is YOU. Let me say that again the answer is YOU, not your sponsor or your company or your product.

Family Members and Friends make a huge difference as well. If you tell family member that you starting your own business they will be exited for you, but as soon as you tell them that is MLM they tell you things like, “it’s a scam, a pyramid scheme, Get out while you can. Normally people who tell you that are happy with their job making $25-$30k a year and don’t have a clue how to be an entrepreneur.

If you want to make it in network marketing the first thing you must do is change your MINDSET. If you are whining like a little kid because mommy and daddy did buy that toy, I GUARANTEE that you will not have success in this venture. You have to bring more VALUE to the Marketplace… You have to work on YOU.. How? By becoming a student of the industry by Investing in your Education. Entrepreneurs, Athletes, become successful because they become students of whatever they’re doing, Michael Jordan is the best basketball player ever, why? Because he was a student of the game and he worked everyday on his game. Bill Gates is an avid reader and to this day he still reads books to educate himself. Napoleon Hill said it best “The Person who stops studying merely because they have finished school is forever hopelessly doomed to mediocrity, no matter what their calling”. I rest my case.

You have to work on YOU. Just take action guys. Who doesn’t have problems? WE ALL DO, stop concentrating on the problem and start focusing on the Solution. Surround yourself with successful people, watch what they do and start copying their habits. Do this and you will start having success, but if are not investing in your education, if you think a book or a audio is going to tell you how to succeed, then get a JOB, because you have no business in being network marketing and you are making it bad for of all us. The books, mp3s etc are just tools, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Nice work, Carlos. I wonder who we have to thank for starting the mlm is a pyramid rumor, anyways. Maybe we could get out the tar and feathers.

Attitude makes it happen. The right attitude puts us in charge of our business. It's so true that many are ready to blame their upline or their circumstances in life if they didn't make it. We don't have to join 'em, though. It's totally okay if they would rather go back to their job. The fact is we're not all entrepreneurs.

Often the people who say 'that's a pyramid scheme' are the same ones who would spread negativity if you were going to open something as innocuous as a corner grocery store. Pretty much gotta ignore them.

Besides, who would drive the trash truck if everyone wanted their own business?

Great post Carlos, couldn't agree with you more. I think that sometimes some people see as easier to blame everyone else instead of taking responsiblilty for their own short comings.

Business not working out for you then it is your fault not the system or company. Unfortunately we all meet people everyday who think network marketing in a scam. The funny thing is is that every person on this planet is doing network marketing everyday, it just we get paid to do it!

I look forward to reading more of your posts

Hi Carlos, you are right. Most people don't take responsibility for their own actions. It is so much easier to criticize and find fault with something that is not in our comfort zone.

It is also our fault for trying to "sell our family and friends" something that they don't want. We don't have to sell them on our mlm, they have to sell themselves.

We have a tendency to talk too much. We tell our "warm market" about our company when we don't really know all of the details ourselves.

Wouldn't it be more effective to not tell them what we are doing and tell them we have our own home-based business? Then if they want more information, get them on a conference call or give them a link to our website and let them DISCOVER for themselves EXACTLY what we are doing. That way they will have the facts without us having to try to sell them on anything.

Hi Chris and thank you for sharing, that's one of the main reasons i stay away from my warm market because we then sound like sales people and certainly that we are not.. that's why i focus on attracting exsiting network marketers that already know about the mlm model, coach them how to market and while doing that make a profit even if they do not join your primary company.. all the mlm companies will teach how to network or share your opportunity, that's great and everything but our profession is call Network Marketing.. ask yourself this question, you seem like a very smart person.. Is that marketing??? of course not...

God Bless

Great post Carlos,

I think pretty much everyone that has struggled in network marketing, and later finally 'got it' and started achieving success, can all agree that once that light bulb went off, they realized it was them all along. Problem is, so many times we don't even know what we are doing wrong when we self sabotage. There is certainly enough training out there as long as people know where to look.

Thanks for the great post!
