When I remember the past six or seven years, it’s funny to think life could be any different than wading through the struggles I’ve experienced in the MLM profession. I wanted to take a minute and share some insights with you that I’ve gained over my failures and struggles with the Network Marketing business model.
Network Marketing can be a great profession to join, and it can be a huge source of pain and frustration, too. There are some misconceptions, however, that are important to understand if you do decide to join Network Marketing.
First, let me just share with you that I joined the MLM industry part time in 2002, and I had an absolutely miserable experience attempting to be successful at it all the way from 2002-2007. Not only did I not make any money worth mentioning, but I managed to chase away all but a few of my loyal friends and it seemed that I was worth less financially after 5 years of struggle than I was when I joined MLM in the first place.
Taking a look at the surface of my initial experience, most people would think that I would have been better off if I had thrown in the towel and quit for good (In fact, a lot of well intentioned people encouraged me to.) The fact is that looking back today it was a darned good thing that I didn’t.
Why can I justify joining MLM after 5 years of failure? Well, let’s take a look at a brief comparison. I’m a college dropout. In fact, I went to one year of college and then I decided I wanted to be an entrepreneur and I just quit.
The average household income for someone who’s a high school graduate without a college degree in the USA is $25,900 per year. At the same time the average household income for someone with a professional degree is $109,600. Well, I fall in the earlier category, and last month while I’m hesitant to disclose my exact earnings, I can tell you that I make significantly more than someone with a professional degree.
So should you look at how well I’ve done and go out and join a random MLM company? Let me share my personal views with you. You might join a Network Marketing company and fail miserably for your first five years AND the statistics show that most people will experience a certain level of failure before they have any kind of significant MLM success story. However, statistics show that for those who stick with one MLM company for 10 years or more, you have a dramatically higher chance of earning a six figure income than almost every profession in the USA. So once again, are you going to treat your business like a professional? Or are you just trying to get rich quick?
