You know it’s funny to me that some people think that you should give them some sort of guarantee in order for them to get involved in your business. It really does not require a whole lot of common sense to understand that the only thing that is guaranteed in this lifetime is that you are going to pay taxes and that one day you’re going to die.
Everything in between is really a bonus. Now another thing that is really funny to me is that if you went and got a membership at a gym, does that guarantee that you are going to be physically fit? Absolutely not! It does however give you the probability of becoming fit if you follow a road map to getting there.
Another example, you just ordered the P90X program and you’re serious about losing some weight so you can take your shirt off when you go swimming for the first time in your life… The catch is that you bought the program and left it on the shelf for 90 days. So in the 90 days time that the program takes to get results do you think that you can still get 6 pack abs from the program?
Another scenario would be getting accepted into one of the top schools in America. Many people that you know personally have actually gone on to have 6 figure per year jobs. While you too are going to a top ranked school does that guarantee that you’ll find a 6 figure paying job? There’s not even a guarantee that you’ll find a job at all!
The point here is that whether you are in a network marketing opportunity, joining a gym, trying P90X, or starting a new school. You are not going to ever have a ‘guarantee’ that you will be successful from doing those things. The point is for you to ‘WORK’ the plan that you have set out.
If you get a membership at the gym, going to the gym isn’t even enough to guarantee results. You have to actually go to the gym and USE the equipment. Same thing for P90X, you can pop the DVD into your DVD player everyday for 90 days and have absolutely no results! The reason is because while it’s in the DVD player you’re on the phone instead of committing yourself to getting a workout in.
Lastly, if you go to a top school in America and expect to find a 6 figure per year job that is a based off of your degree then you are in for a treat! If you graduate and sit at home watching MTV or Desperate Housewives saying to yourself, “I know someone is gonna call me for that job soon!” but you haven’t even filled out any resumes! Now obviously that is unrealistic but that’s how most people feel in a home based business. They treat it as if it’s a lottery ticket, they expect that they will be able to do very little if anything, and still be able to reap the rewards of being in the business.
Sorry if that’s you… but it simply doesn’t work that way. This is what gives Network Marketing/MLM a black eye. It’s people who join a company and then sit on their asses and when they don’t make any money they want to call it a pyramid scheme or a scam. People like that should just stick to what they do best and that’s working a job and making everyone else wealthy but themselves.
If you want to find some success in your mlm business then you are going to have to talk to people. If you aren’t talking to people you aren’t going to make money in network marketing. People are what drive a business, and as far as I can remember people are where money come from. You’re going to have to get out there and build relationships with PEOPLE.
If you aren’t talking to people then you are simply just a secret agent in MLM. Action cures fear! Everyone who is successful at something started out not knowing how to do it. You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great. If you want to be successful in your MLM Business then you have no choice at all but to learn how to overcome your fears. Remember that phrase and make it one that you will live by and teach your team! “You don’t have to be great to get started, but you HAVE TO GET STARTED to be great!

This is right on the money. I worked harder than anyone around me ever did and O make more money now than anyone around me ever does. Funny that.
