Should You Join An MLM, Or Network Marketing Opportunity?

Are You Thinking Of Joining MLM?

Thinking back now over the last 7 years since I first joined the MLM industry, it’s funny to think that life could have ever been different.  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.

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.

So what is it about my life that allows me to justify continuing in the Network Marketing profession after so much catastrophic failure?  Let me compare my current situation to USA average income statistics.  I never graduated from college.  After one year of tuition at UVSC in Orem, Utah, I decided much against the advice of my parents to attack the world as an entrepreneur.

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?  Well, let me tell you the TRUTH how I see it.  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.

Before you join MLM and dive head first into a nightmare of failure, you might want to take a look into what it’s actually going to take to prosper in the MLM industry.
