The MLM Challenge
For most of his working career, the Top Network Marketer worked a 9 to 5 job where he had only a little freedom to decide how he would spend his time during those hours. For the most part, his activities were directed by his supervisor. He was lucky that he did have the opportunity to be somewhat creative, but was in no way his own boss. Under those conditions, it was fairly easy to do what was necessary to get to work on time and work the required number of hours, etc., knowing that to do otherwise would mean an end to the paychecks appearing magically, month after month in the bank account. There was little real satisfaction from the work because, most of the time, it was not at all apparent who, if anyone, would ultimately benefit.
Now, with network marketing, one has total freedom to choose who to work with, the product or service to market, what hours to work, how much and what kind of effort to put in, etc. This means that we are free to pick a product or service that we know will be of great benefit to many if we can just get it into their hands. It’s just a matter of effectively communicating those benefits in a manner that is understood and accepted. That is our challenge.
So why is it that so few are truly successful? Of course, along with freedom comes responsibility! The responsibility to be organized, to be clear as to our objectives and to spend our time effectively. I think that many of us buy into the idea that it is going to be easy and that the results will come with very little effort. We have not learned the self-discipline required to focus our attention on those essential activities that must be performed on a consistent and regular basis to get the results that we want.
So, what is the answer? I will be exploring different answers in future blogs but I would love to hear your comments on this subject. What are your greatest challenges and what methods have you found to be effective in producing the results that you are looking for?
That’s it from the Top Network Marketer… stay tuned!
