Blame is the easiest thing you can do when something isn’t going the way you think it should. It couldn’t possibly be your fault that your business is stale or that no one is talking to you about your business. It couldn’t possibly be your fault that leads are not popping into your system. If it isn’t working it has to be someone else’s fault so blame them.
That is what I love about network marketing. It doesn’t judge you or anyone else. You work you get paid. You do nothing it rewards you with that too.
People can hate MLM all they want too, but it is a business model that anyone can do that is willing to learn, put in the work and show up even when you want to be somewhere else (just like when you are at your job you show up anyway.)
I hear women say I can’t run a business because the area is saturated, because only men can run a business. Trust me there is an excuse for anything you want to use in your head. My organization is all women with very few men. The women are crushing it. They have hundreds of women under them.
Leadership
Network Marketing is risky
As Ray Higdon always says, Multi-level–marketing or Network Marketing is the lowest risk, lowest overhead way for MOST people to start a business. In a brick and mortar type business, You will hear things like trademark attorney, supply chain management, commercial overhead, outsourcing, research and development, etc. Well, you don’t need any of that to start a business as a network marketer.
You need grit.
You need to be sticky.
You have to stand tall even when things don’t feel right, you cock your shoulders back and stand there anyway.
You have to willing to stand alone sometimes.
While you are standing there, stand strong, firm, and determine. Don’t let the wind from people’s comments knock you unstable.
Impressing people
The biggest fear most people have is “what will people think.” The same people who are struggling every single day complaining things are hard and life is rough will tell you that you are crazy for trying to be different.
Choose CRAZY!
There is nothing about being broke solves a problem. It’s not humble. It’s not a special mark on a wall anywhere that says that being broke makes you a better person than someone who can pay their bills and live life a little freer.
Go to the bank and tell them you need money with no income and see what happens.
Then make some money and go to the bank and tell them you need more money and they will hand it to you.
Being broke sucks.
I have been there.

In my company, it cost $160 to get a position on my team. That comes with a box of products and all the basics tools you will need to use them straight out of the box. You can learn about it here. To be a customer you simply order as you need products but as a commitment to a business, you have to use the products you want to sell. You need to have a monthly order shipping to your house every single month no less than $100.
I had a team member mention in a meeting that she had a customer who had referred someone to the company and wanted to know if she was going to get paid. She didn’t know what to tell her.
People really expect to do little to no work and make money. The flow of money doesn’t have to be hard but there is effort behind the process. I mentioned the starter box for $160 plus the monthly order of $100 minimum totals $260. People actually think they have invested in their business spending that low for an income.
Can you begin making money with those two things in place? YES!
It is impossible to be in business and not expect there to be other costs. You will need a blog or an online space that you OWN not a company replicated page that is rented space.
You need to set up a system with a list of the people you want to stay in touch with. Something like Aweber, not Gmail.
For less than $300 a month you can have a simple system to run your business and stay in touch with the leads that you generate. It is rare for someone to buy a starter box and hit the floor running without any type of network marketing training. This is the only industry that people think they can join with a single kit and be at the top of the charts with no education.
Education for your business is key. There are many trainers out there that you can work with. You have to find the one who has achieved the type of results you are looking for and do the steps they teach.
If you are coaching and training but you aren’t doing the steps they give you, it is not because they are a bad coach but because you are not being a good student for yourself.
Here are three steps to success. You choose if you are going to struggle or move forward.
