It is an open secret that in network marketing today the failure rate is above 90%. How can that be?

Most people who join a network marketing business join a network marketing opportunity as they are excited either about a product or about the chance of “owning their lives”. They sign up as they trust the person who presented the opportunity to them.

They start their work full of enthusiasm and follow the instructions they get from their sponsor, if they get any at all. Mostly it will be things like”make a list of friends and family and buy leads.

Let’s go for buying leads first – that is a treacherous way of doing anything as to be on the legal side you need to have leads who opted into YOUR offer. I someone reports you as spammer you need to be able to provide the opt in details and the opt-in IP.

Making a list of friends and family may work for some if they happen to have people around them who have a similar mindset and similar needs. It doesn’t work at all of they have their own different jobs or businesses which are totally unrelated to marketing.

Just imagine you want to have your house painted – would you  advertise for doctors to do so? Well, you may laugh but that’s just what it is if your friends and family are not at all interested in anything like network marketing it is hopeless to perhaps try and talk them into it. Just as un likely  as having a doctor paint your house.

Another big topic  will be the company you join itself.

1. Which kind of a commission plan do they have?
2. How many and which hoops to you have to jump through to qualify
3. What are the policies and procedure like – are they only for the company and without consideration for you?
4. Are their products fairly priced?

These are just 4 critical points you need to look at. Most people may require education to  be able to read a commission plan or the legal text of the contract so don’t feel bad if you are having a hard time going through this material. That is why mentoring for free is available online – an organisation of volunteers who set out to help.

You may find lots of training online on how to build a business  and there are many people who have quite good knowledge on how to work, like:

How to build relationships.well, give support to your team, help them on all levels, etc.

However, if you are an average person the best training in the world will not make you a real winner if the cards are stacked against you

and you have missed out on investigating if the company you have joined is the right background for achieving your dreams!

Today’s world is a lot different from what it was only 20 years back. There is no doubt that the methods employed for building a network marketing business have changed drastically. Old ways like making a list of friends and family are no longer functional – not that they necessarily worked well in those days,but as it was before the days of the internet options were different and one had to make do with whatever was possible.

However, one thing has not changed: If you want to build a solid and long term business which is to pay you as well as your children and grandchildren you  have to make a decision. A clear and definite decision. A life-changing decision.

There is no such thing as being married to 10 spouses or to travel to a dozen places in one and the same time, to quote just 2 drastic examples.

The same applies to business. You have to be all in. No if and when, No try, may-be or whatever in that line.

Once you have made a decision, a decision as to with whom you want to build and what size of business you want to achieve, universe will give you the support you need by way of the law of attraction.

Simply imagine – there is someone waiting who will give you service and perform for you by  fulfilling whichever wish you hand out. However, you flood this person with a dozen of contradictory requests at the same time. Imagine what will happen – that person will stay put and wait till you make up your mind what you actually want.

This is exactly what happens with universe!

Therefore – make up your mind, pass a decision and then develop your plan of action in accordance with your decision. You will be surprised how much smoother everything works out.

Let your life pass in your mind’s eye. Start with Kindergarten, then pre-school, and the next schools you attended, also college, university. if you did an apprenticeship review that, then your jobs and other obligations…

Everywhere you had to accept the people around you if you wanted to or not. Fortunately we do have some nice ones around in each stage of life, but we also have to cope with some who are really not to our taste. It gets even worse when the people you don’t like are your teachers, your boss or even members of the family. We never ever had a choice!

It is fabulous in network marketing once you have understood that you do not need everybody you meet – in fact you need only a hand full of people and make sure you choose those where you can very well imagine to be on a long cruise together and enjoy and have fun! This is critically important – why? Well in a good network marketing business you will be partners for life – so you better make sure you like the people you chose.

This is a very clear concept, yet to be able to pull it through you also need a company that understands and gives you the right kind of support. A highly ethical attitude is what you need on all levels – company, upline and partners. You will perhaps ask how you are supposed to find out about the company. No problem there is free coaching at hand where you learn it all if you are coachable. There are clear criteria by which you can determine what is what.

As far as your upline is concerned – well simply request help and support – ethical people will gladly provide it and be happy to serve you. Make sure you trust the law of attraction, as when a big group of ethical people join to form a mastermind group it is automatic that it is like minded people who are attracted -  the others will not feel comfortable in such a team – too much challenge if you don’t serve from your heart!

All the best of luck with this challenge and feel free to be in touch for support.

Perhaps you wonder about this heading?  It is all about perception! Just imagine an ant crawling at the foot of a big tower as shown here.

    Imagine just for a minute what its horizon will be

   – how far will it see the world around?  Not so very far!

    And asked to describe what it sees. It will very likely talk about a mountain of stones, grass blades hindering its path and the like.

Now take that ant and put it on top of this very big tower. Perhaps it will even make the effort and crawl up – feeling the hard work of doing so..

    Imagine what its horizon will be   – how far will it see?

Let’s give the comparison with network a thought.

When you start out with a network marketing business, a good one, you will receive network marketing coaching from your sponsor and your team. You will read books on network marketing and perhaps do some mlm online training. Very likely it will strike you that a major focus of it all is personal development. They will talk about creating your dream, working on your goals, widening your perception. And very similar to the ant crawling up that tower you will have to put in some effort working through it, learning, wondering, perhaps not fully understanding the why behind it all.

You will be reading network marketing success stories, will be receiving tips and dig into network marketing secrets. You start building your network marketing business step by step. All of a sudden when you have “crawled” up the tower a bit you will start seeing the bigger picture. Your perception, your awareness of why you are doing what you are being told – like using your road to success tools, your system diligently will fall into place. You start seen the bigger picture. Your belief in your success in network marketing becomes stronger, you start understanding the reasoning behind the advice you are getting.

When you have finally climbed the tower of of awareness, of mastery in what you are doing – creating targeted mlm leads, helping other people understand what you have already learned, using your network marketing resources consistently and with persistence – you are overwhelmed. You understand. Now you can spread your wings and roar to success.

Grasp a helping hand, get expert training, remember the parable of the ant and get flying!
