Are You Thinking Of Joining MLM?
When I remember the past six or seven years, it’s funny to think life could be any different than wading through the struggles I’ve experienced in the MLM profession. I wanted to take a minute and share some insights with you that I’ve gained over my failures and struggles with the Network Marketing business model.
The truth of the matter is that MLM is a great industry to join, and it’s a great profession to be a part of if you treat it right. There are some misconceptions, however, that are important to understand if you do decide to join Network Marketing.
First, let me just share with you that I joined the MLM industry part time in 2002, and I had an absolutely miserable experience attempting to be successful at it all the way from 2002-2007. Not only did I not make any money worth mentioning, but I managed to chase away all but a few of my loyal friends and it seemed that I was worth less financially after 5 years of struggle than I was when I joined MLM in the first place.
Taking a look at the surface of my initial experience, most people would think that I would have been better off if I had thrown in the towel and quit for good (In fact, a lot of well intentioned people encouraged me to.) The fact is that looking back today it was a darned good thing that I didn’t.
So what is it about my life that allows me to justify continuing in the Network Marketing profession after so much catastrophic failure? Well, let’s take a look at a brief comparison. I’m a college dropout. In fact, I went to one year of college and then I decided I wanted to be an entrepreneur and I just quit.
The average household income for someone who’s a high school graduate without a college degree in the USA is $25,900 per year. At the same time the average household income for someone with a professional degree is $109,600. Well, I fall in the earlier category, and last month while I’m hesitant to disclose my exact earnings, I can tell you that I make significantly more than someone with a professional degree.
So should you look at how well I’ve done and go out and join a random MLM company? Well, let me tell you the TRUTH how I see it. You might join a Network Marketing company and fail miserably for your first five years AND the statistics show that most people will experience a certain level of failure before they have any kind of significant MLM success story. So rather than asking if you should JOIN MLM, maybe you should ask if you’re willing to do WHATEVER it takes to learn the skills you need to learn to be successful in the MLM industry as a PROFESSIONAL who treats their business like a business.
