Is Joining The MLM Industry The Smart Thing To Do?
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.
I have been actively involved in the Network Marketing profession since mid 2002, and I failed pretty horribly at it right up until 2007. I wasn’t just a failure in every aspect of my business, but I managed to lose most of my friends in the process of shamelessly promoting my businesses again and again to my loved ones.
If you just glance at the surface of that situation, you might think that I should have quit. (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? Let me compare my current situation to USA average income statistics. I never graduated from college. 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 MLM company and fail pretty horribly for a few years before you start to see any kind of meaningful results. So rather than asking if you should JOIN MLM, maybe you should ask if you’re willing to do WHATEVER it takes to learn the skills you need to learn to be successful in the MLM industry as a PROFESSIONAL who treats their business like a business.
