Today there are over 60 million people around the globe in the network marketing industry. Why?  Because it has offered people hope, a future and the ability to dream again.

Hope

Somewhere along the way people have forgotten about the things that are most important to them and have traded those things in for what I like to call “The Big Lie”.  The big lie is taught from a very young age.  Go to school, get an education and go to work for a large corporation. Then work your ass off for the next 50 years and you should have enough to retire comfortably.  How many people do you know that this has happened for?

If you have been in the workforce for any number of years, you know how it gets.  Your company wants you to do more work for the same pay.  Eventually people lose hope for a better future and after a number of years of the same old, in the same position, looking forward to their 2-4 weeks of vacation every year with a 3-5% increase in pay.  What a joke.

I am not down on jobs, I am down on corporations keeping their board of directors pockets fat while the very people who make everything happen on the front lines are losing their homes, cars and marriages.

There is no leverage when you have someone else signing your paycheck.  I think that is why people are drawn to the network marketing industry.   For the doubter who reads this, here is what I have to say, “Are you calling 60 million people idiots?”  Network marketing is often stereotyped because you knew someone who knew someone who never made any money.  What about me?  What about the thousand plus people I personally know that are making money in the industry?

Are we lucky?  Did we get in at the top of the pyramid?  I almost have to laugh at some of the things I hear sometimes.

Let me just tell you. When you are limited to what you can create in a 24 hour period, you are limited!  Every successful person as well as company has learned time compounding and how to burst past the 24 hour day through leveraging the efforts of other people. A team if you will.  The only difference is, when your working for someone elses team (A corporation), you are doing all the work and they are making all of the money. There is no hope there.

Your Future

For those serious about creating a future for themselves, network marketing provides an even playing ground for everyone.  There is no luck, there is only desire backed by lots of action and education.  The old school model of creating a future by going to school and educating yourself on how to become an employee is broke.  People go down that route because they are conditioned to want other people telling them what to do for a paycheck.  It’s comfortable.

Folks these days play it safe rather than take risk.  Nothing good ever comes about without risk.  Let me ask you if there is any risk in the person that clocks in and out or is on a salary and has to report to work.  Not much.  Now lets take a look at a real estate agent who works solely on commissions.  A little riskier right?  It’s the same thing in network marketing except you get to build a team of people you want to work with.  You get to create your own mastermind group of people who are sold out to their future instead of someone elses.

The Dream

Everyone has big dreams, however, somewhere along the way the dreams seem to get farther away from people and they end up settling for a life they were not supposed to be living.  They get caught up in the two steps forward and two steps back syndrome.  Why is it that people cant get ahead of living paycheck to paycheck.  Well, if your only getting a 2-5% pay increase and inflation is at 4% every year, some if not most people take a paycut.  Do that for 10 years and add in high interest credit cards, car payments with interest and cost of living increases and you have a dream stealer.

No one wants to talk about it and most ignore it which is why there are so many people in financial bondage.  I am here to tell you that it’s not too late.  Network marketing requires marketing.  Today, with the power of the internet as well as some super sharp people out there who are eager, willing and looking for something different to do with their lives are waiting for you to offer them an opportunity to make their dreams come true.  Is it easy?  Nope, that is why so few make it. But for those who treat this like a business and not a hobby and for those who stick with it, dreams become a reality.

Over 200,000 people every week are joining the network marketing industry on a global basis.  Are you going to sit back and watch the passing parade of humanity build hope, a future and their dream while you meander in the pool of mediocrity or are you going to rise to the occasion and make it happen.  What is your excuse going to be as to why you haven’t succeeded at the level you expected of yourself in life?

PS. If you have not picked up your FREE “Conquer The Internet” DVD, What are you waiting for? Your future deserves it.

With 175,000 people joining the Network Marketing industry every week, only 3% will make it.

Can you believe that statistic? Why only 3%? Well, I am going to go over the 7 deadly sins most people commit in the industry and you will see why.

Your going to get an indepth look at the problems most network marketers face as well as the solutions so go grab your favorite beverage, sit back and relax.

Yelling Way Too Loud

Picture this. Your in the middle of Times Square in New York City and you look up.  There is a guy standing on top of one of the Conde Nast Building. With a pair of binoculars you look up at him and it seems he is yelling at the top of his lungs but you cant hear a word because he is 47 stories up.

This is how 97% of the people on the Internet are. They are constantly pitching their Network Marketing business opportunity anywhere they can. They stick out like a sore thumb. There are many of them out there and because they are all yelling so loud, no one can hear a word they are saying. In other words they get tuned out and are drowned out by everyone else screaming just as loud as they are.

The Internet is a big party.  Especially the social networks like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Youtube.  When folks show up at this internet social fiasco, they want to have fun.

Hopefully you are still with me here, I am getting to the point so hold on to your horses. So along comes this guy at your party on the internet and he doesnt want to have fun, he wants to tell you how great of a business he has.  He is talking about the opportunity to become wealthy and quit your job all within a few months.  Ok. that is exadurated a little but you get the point.

Does this sound normal for a party? No. This guy is crashing it. Who goes to a party and talks to everyone about his business and how everyone needs to get in.  This is what happens all to often on the internet.  People blatantly pitching their business. Big turn off.

The moral of that story is STOP YELLING!

Faking It

All too often people think that they have to become someone that they are not when they first get started in business.  They think it’s about driving expensive cars, wearing nice watches, big homes and fast boats.

Let me give you a hint.  You don’t need to have any of those things to become successful. You dont need to have to attract, you need to be.  People are not attracted to things, people are attracted to people.  The folks that are at first attracted to quick money are not who your looking for. They fizzle out quick because they have the mentality that they will get something for nothing.

Just be yourself and sell you.  You have qualities that I don’t have that people will be attracted to.  Everyone has a story that someone can relate to.

Lack Of Capital

I don’t know where people get the idea that they get started in a network marketing business and six months down the road, they are not making any money and think something is wrong.  The Entry fee to get started in most MLM companies is anywhere between $30 and up to $20,000.

The sad fact is, most don’t take it seriously unless they have skin in the game. Even at the minimal entry fee, people think that Ben Franklins are just going to show up on their doorstep just because they are in business.  It takes money to make money. Your going to have to invest in your education, marketing and systems to run your business.

The MLM and Network Marketing Industry sometimes attracts some pretty funny people.  It appeals to many because they can get started cheaply.  The fact is, most dont have the capital to build a successful business and instead of re-investing their earnings back into their marketing efforts, they spend it on frivilous things.   This is why people cant get any momentum enough to spring their business into the twilight zone.

Laziness

With more than 60 percent of our population being overweight, I would have to say that people are lazy. This spills over into peoples work ethic and everything else they do.  I see alot of people with a lottery mentality. They think that success is going to show up on their doorstep.  In the world of network marketing, if you don’t work, you dont eat.

It’s not a business for lazy people.  The competition is fierce and there is always someone looking to take your future business.  So putdown that cheese pizza and a diet coke and fire up your business.

Association

Back in high school I used to smoke cigarettes.  Guess who I hung out with during lunch time. You got it, other smokers.  I realized that I would become who I associated myself with so as I got older and wiser, I changed my association.  I wanted to surround myself with people who were way more successful than I was and who were living a life of significance.  There is a difference between success and significance.

When you hang out with ditch diggers chances are, you will become a ditch digger.  Try hanging out with some very successful, wealthy and influencial people.  They will make you want to be a better you.  In time, you will have what they have, only if you are willing to receiving it.

Education

One of the most untold secrets in network marketing is education.  People have it all backwards.  I thought I had it all figured out when I First got started in the network marketing industry.  I was college educated, I was a General Manager of a Marriott hotel and I thought I knew everything about business.

The fact was, I knew nothing about marketing anything other than hotel rooms and food. I knew nothing about Internet Marketing or product marketing for that matter.  When my warm market dried up, my business dried up.  Why? I had no clue how to market.

It wasn’t until I learned how to blog, write articles, use Google Adwords, Bing, Yahoo and use banner ads, that I turned a corner in my network marketing business. I spent thousands of dollars on e-books and courses to learn the skills necessary to make a full time living online.  Your number one priority should be education.  You cant cheat your way to becoming a top earning Internet Marketer.  You have to earn it.

Not Quitting

I see it all too often.  People get in and people get out.  For some reasons people have unrealistic expectations in the network marketing industry.  Why is it that when someone buys a franchise, it’s ok to lose money or break even in the first year in business.  But oh, no. People get started in network marketing they think that after month 4 they should be making $10K a month.

It’s because of all of the hype behind most companies.  They boast about the top of their compensation plan to show you what is possible.  Like I said before, the chances of them making it are 3%. So when the going gets tough, people quit.  Why? They were building it for the wrong reasons or it just got too hard.

You have to decide that this is what your going to do with your life.  Close the back door of retreat and you will be forced to move forward. That is called burning the bridges.

If you want to make it at anything in life, you cant be a quitter.  If you quit your job, do you make it to the top?
