Over the years I have always felt that irregardless of how good your company is, how lucrative your compensation plan is, how exciting your product line is, how good your team mentoring is, or how effective your marketing system is, there is one other element absolutely necessary for massive success in MLM.
Success in MLM requires commitment!
I received a phone call a few days ago from a prospect who was ready to enroll in the business. He had checked out everything. He was sold on our company, our team, and me. He had his credit card in his hand and wanted the link to my sign up page. But here's what really got me. He told me he would join our team and give it a try for a month and see what happened.
And you know what, I told him that I would rather he did not join the business...with that approach. That's right...I passed up a sign up.
Here's why. Deciding to give something a try for a short period of time and see how it goes is not a good recipe for success. It is definitely not making a commitment. I decided years ago to put the odds of success in my favor...and in the favor of my new business partners by only spending my time mentoring those likely to be successful. That man was setting himself up for failure.
Prior to signing up in any MLM, be prepared to make a commitment. Go in with an attitude of "I'll do whatever is necessary to be successful. Just show me what to do."
Make sure you are going in with realistic expectations. You need to know that MLM is not a get rich quick venture. Even though I teach our new business partners how to make money quickly, it does take time to create the long-term residual income that makes our industry so attractive.
