The claims of make a $1,000,000 this weekend while you lay on the couch watching TV may sound good, but they come at a heavy cost.  I have seen so many people fall for the hype and lose all sense of real business principles.

I can take you to where you’re making $100, $500, or even $5,000 a month quite quickly … But it usually won’t happen overnight and to do that it will also take real effort on your part.  You have to follow the simple system which has worked for me and so many other people and follow it to the letter.

So Is Network Marketing a ‘Get Rich Quick Scheme’?

In theory, you can make a lot of money partnering with a good MLM Company. In practice, 90% don’t even recommend their opportunity enough to even cover the cost of their own product purchases.

Why is that? One of the reasons is they run off to chase the “next big thing”. Never mind that a large portion of them are scams or fly-by-night operations. The real problem is many people seem to have a ‘lottery mentality’ (get rich overnight). Just look at the MILLIONS of people who willingly hand over their money to the lottery with a less than 1 in 50,000,000 chance of winning anything!

The fact is, most Network Marketing compensation plans are designed to create long term residual income, not up-front money and people give up when they don’t get rich enough quick enough.

Luckily the company I partner with does have an award winning accelerated leverage plan especially designed to avoid attrition by rewarding people quickly. So look for a company with a compensation plan that has the ability to accelerate income and reward the people (who do the work) and that will definitely help you to retain people.

Be very wary of hype and promises like ‘all you do is sign up and watch the money roll in’ – in a real network marketing business of course  product has to move to generate real revenue and someone has to work – reality sucks – you can’t make money out of thin air despite all the promises out there!  My advice – avoid the hype like the plague!

Hype FREE Zone

Don’t start from scratch.  That’s the hardest way to do anything.  Inventors go through tons of  frustration, failed tests, and often ridicule.  I’d much rather be a copy-cat.

Find a system that’s already working. Then just jump in and follow it.  This will save you thousands of dollars in wasted money and years of lost time.  Just do what already works.

Find a personal coach who is already successful. Someone you respect and enjoy working with.

Every top athlete has a coach.  In fact, many of the best have two or three coaches working on different areas of their development.  They’re  there for one reason…to help them be the best they can possibly be.  In some situations, they instruct.  Other times they encourage.  All up, they hold your hand on the way to success. A coach will help you set your course. They’ll help keep you on track.  They’ll take you from where you are today to where you want to be.  The only problem is that most marketing coaches cost $400 or more per month!

One of the great things about the Network Marketing MLM business model is that good coaches can come free because it’s in their interest for you to succeed, In fact the ONLY way they succeed is to help others succeed, it’s a win win situation – I never charge to coach members of my team BUT I am very fussy who I work with. I learnt that the hard way and have to admit that I wasted a lot of time working with the wrong people.

Take this to the bank – always remember:

•  The squeaky wheels get the oil – what that means is, only work with people who chase you   – become the hunted not the hunter.
•  Actions speak louder than words – don’t take a lot of notice of what people say – only what they DO.
