Re: This Business Should Be Treated Like One, But It’s Not About You!!

It's a team effort not individual. Network Marketing IS a business, but because of the low cost of entry, people don't have enough at risk to take it seriously. Imagine buying a franchise for 50K and maybe showing up and maybe not. You would NEVER do that! Well, since a NM company may cost a couple hundred, people don't feel that pressure to work it.

Regards,
Mike

Yes! That's the beauty of network marketing, really. We succeed in DIRECT PROPORTION to the number of people we help succeed! Brilliant ..... and completely the opposite of the dog-eat-dog corporate world.

And yes, you've got to have a plan....

Thanks for sharing these great insights, Anthony!

Hello Kathy,

Thank you for the comment. I did not write this post, it is from this week's guest blogger, Thomas B. But I'm sure he appreciates the feedback.

Anthony,

You've hit the nail right on the head here. So many people treat their MLM businesses like a hobby rather than as a business, yet expect huge rewards for having big dreams.

The rewards are definitely there, but we need to have a plan, take focused action, and work at helping others. Only through these steps do we create success!

Hey Janet thanks for your comment and a great point at that.

Great advice Anthony. We wouldn't apply for just any job. We wouldn't buy just any car or house. We wouldn't be friends with someone we didn't like. Why would you partner with just anyone in your business? We're in it for the long haul so build it to last.

Hey there Anthony,

You make a solid point here man. There have been so many times where I have refused to sign someone up in my business simply because I did not think they could pull the weight. And as Mike Dillard said, things really start changing when you decide you WONT sponsor someone inf your business.

Hi Renee,

It's a pleasure to meet you! I've been very blessed in my life and I want to be a blessing to others, not take advantage of them.

Thank you so much for your post and you're more than welcome to stop by and say hi anytime.

Stinking thinking...gets us every time. Our brains can only contain so much conscious thought so it is a good reminder to train the ones that are supportive of where we are going rather than the ones that sabotage us or keep us where we are stuck. I liked the spin you put on it here...

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for that and sharing your post.

Take care

@ Debbie, Bryan & Peter

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and sharing you comments.I guess there will always be those who chose to build their business around hype, greed and desperation... instead of giving value and building others up. I guess will just have to out number them...LOL!

Re: What’s The Message We’re Sending?

Peter Chapman — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 07:32:27 -0000

Anthony, I couldn't agree with you more! There is so much hype out there and I am not in the business of taking advantage of vulnerable people. I wish there were more like you, mate. Power to your elbow
