Scheme or Success?

Did you know that network marketing is actually the future of business in the 21st century?

Then why is there such a stigma around it? Why do many people say that it fails them?

To help you understand what network marketing is, I must first explain what it isn't.

First, network marketing isn't a pyramid scheme. -- Pyramids are programs similar to chain letters where people just invest money based on the promise that other people will put in money that will filtrate back to them and somehow, they'll get rich. A pyramid is strictly a money game and has no basis in real commerce. Normally, there's no product involved at all, just money changing hands. Modern-day pyramids may have a product, but it's clearly there just to disguise the money game.

Pyramids are illegal and are based on taking advantage of people. For a person to actually make money in a pyramid scheme, someone else has to lose money. But in network marketing, each person can multiply his or her efforts, skills and talents by helping others be successful. Network marketing has proved itself as part of the new economy and a preferred way to do business here and around the world.

People will always say - "there's no real money in it."

Network marketing is a legitimate business. It's based on providing people with real, legitimate products they need and want at a fair price. While some people do make a lot of money through network marketing, their financial benefit is always the result of their own dedicated efforts in building an organization that sells real products and services.

Network marketing isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. Network marketing is a serious business for serious people. It's a proven system where the design, creation and expense the corporate team has gone through becomes a road map for your own success.

I see people fail for too many reasons.

1. They listen to too many of their friends and family

2. They don't treat it as a business.

3. They rarely are present and don't show up consistently

When you combine these 3, its a recipe for disaster. Then the individual will blame the company and not themselves.

Most of us have a job where things are mandatory and we know for a fact we won't miss them. They then treat their NM business as a hobby and make excuses on why they can't find success in it. You have to continue to connect and work your business everyday.

Network Marketing actually produces more MILLIONAIRES than any other job or career!

-- this is because it offers an equal opportunity for everyone! Don't have a degree? Doesn't matter!

The worst thing we can do is get a second job, the best thing we can do is start a home-based business - Dave Ramsey

Many will say, "I don't really have the money right now."

I get it, I really do. No one joins a NM company because they have the money. They join because they need it! -- Like every business owner, you invest before you will ever see any profit to your name and how well you succeed is entirely on you. How easily can we all spend money on things? Whether its on Starbucks, clothes, shoes, and etc. However, are those things investing money back into your future? NO -- So why not spend and invest money on something that will make you money? Any amazing and successful business always had to have some sort of investment to get started. It's only a small sacrifice for the long run of future success!

A comment I get a lot when I tell people what i do is that - "well only the person at the top makes all the big money." Wrong. This describes a 9-5 job, not network marketing. How often does a minimum wage worker become the CEO? In fact, many quality employees never get the advancement and financial rewards their quality work deserves when working a 9-5 job.

Most people are skeptical of what I do because we've been taught to look for jobs instead of opportunities. If you ask me, I would rather work hard building my dreams and make an unlimited amount of money than work hard for someone else and only make a set pay.

The Richest people in the world look for and build networks. Everyone else looks for a job. - Robert Kiyosaki

Another question many will ask regarding this is that "what if I'm not successful?"

Well the only way you can fail is if you give up and quit. Start taking responsibility for your success. It's your duty to be successful! It's your duty to create a life you're obsessed with! Successful people aren't lucky. success belongs to those who dare to achieve it.

As long as you are coachable, you will be AMAZING!

Success doesn't come from what you do occasionally, it comes from what you do consistently. - Marie Forleo

Some will state - "well I don't have the time for this."

How much time do you spend playing a game? Stalking strangers on social media? Watching the same Netflix series for the 3rd time? Scrolling through posts, pins and pages?

These things wont pay your bills. Look at it less like time, and look at it more like what is a priority.

No Excuses!

Excuses will always be there for you. Opportunity won't.

You will always find an excuse. The choice is yours - change your life or sit back and watch the time pass. What if in a year from now, you look back and you're exactly where you were then. Would that make you happy? Be the change. It's not going to change itself.
