Network Marketing: If it is so good how come so many people fail?
Ever feel like
you're trying to give away a virus rather than answers to some
of life's problems? It's crazy making isn't it. You feel so
passionate about your business because you know
it works. You personally have had some success. Your upline is
wildly successful. You know this can put financial wealth and
freedom within reach.
What gives? This
business isn't really hard. All you have to do is make a list
of everyone you know and go show them your product (it
practically sells itself!). And then sign 'em up.
But if the above
is true, that anyone can do this business, then ask yourself
this:
-
Why it is so
difficult sometimes to sponsor people into your business?
-
Why do so
many who start a business have such a tough time getting
into action?
-
Why is it so
hard to keep those who do start a business in action?
Why is this so?
Network Marketing does not deserve a bad rap. People do make
money... lots of it. This business offers people an opportunity
to have just about anything they want. You can fire your boss.
You can own your life. It can be fun. But it's going to take
more than a dog with a wagging tail or a simple three foot
rule to get you there.
Corporate
America, Yuk
The answer is
simple and it won't be very popular. We don't tell it like it
is. After nearly 20 years in network marketing and then
another six years coaching the network marketing industry we
believe those of us in the industry are responsible for our
"not so stellar reputation" and it's because we
don't tell it like it is.
Have you ever
heard this from the front of the room:
"Start your
home-based business today and fire your boss. It's fun.
No more corporate America. Own your own life."
Is that
what network marketing is, a get rich and do it fast deal? No
more rules work when you want? Really?
As a business
coaches our goal is to get you to think like an entrepreneur.
But there is a huge amount of resistance because we don't want
to be like Corporate America. Somehow the idea that running
your home business like a real business
translates into "being like Corporate America" and
being like Corporate American is not okay. Beware of this. Be
really careful," you don't throw the baby out with the
bath water."
Here is the deal
folks, you cannot tell someone network marketing is like a
winning lottery ticket...it isn't, it's a business. What you
can tell them is that it takes simple business foundations
based on learning and fun to have the kind of life you want
with network marketing. You can tell them they can jettison
the jerks and the nonsense rules, but not business tools.
All businesses
need good foundational business tools. All businesses. That
includes knowing when you're going to show up for work and
when the workday ends. Real brick and mortar business hours.
The difference now; it is your business, you
determine those hours. You also determine the hours you spend
with your family - away from the business.
When we don't
give our downlines these basic business tools we have chaos
and since when is chaos a friend of business...or a desirable
life?
For real success
it's time to give up (constant :) double tasking with the
phone stuck to your ear. Or being like Pavlov's dog and
answering the phone every time it rings. Think about that for
a minute. Is the business you're in so life-threatening you
need to respond immediately every time the phone rings? And
yes, there are ways to create these boundaries without your
team falling apart. In fact it will make it stronger. How
attractive do you think it is to run your life around a
ringing telephone? hmmmm
