It's Okay To Make Mistakes... That Means You Are Willing to Take Risks.

Did you know that it is okay to make mistakes in Network Marketing? Well it is, and in all honestly I think that it is essential. If you are not willing to make mistakes, then you are not willing to take risks and to think "outside the box".

Come on, if it really was so easy to just buy leads and follow a few scripts, then why do so many fail?

Think about it- if everyone is doing the same thing, and it has only a 3-5% success rate, then how successful is "the system"? In my opinion, that system sucks. So many sponsors will tell you to do it, because its an easy line to remember- by leads from _______ and use theses scripts....

Now in their mind you are now trained and equipped with the right tools to use. Now they can move onto the next person.

When you are willing to take risks and try other ways of team building then you are positioning yourself to make mistakes, but you are also positioning yourself to have massive success.

Now I have been blogging and building an email list for over a month. I have been working on some free advertising and it has had a slow build but, now I am having hundreds of people looking at my marketing/ recruiting website a week.

I was lucky to have 17 or more people look at my site in a week. Now I average more than that in a single day. This stuff is phenomonal. I love it! I have been learning how to do this, by getting free information (my budget is tight). Its a process, weeding through the hype and gleaning what little useful information is in the various free reports and websites out there.

I have been working with my husbands friend on this project. We have been testing our sites against each other. We are learning together and we are helping each other. And we have been putting together a comprehensive program that we can share with you. It is a simple 5 step system. Once we know how we are going to package this, we will make the big announcement.

Its okay to make mistakes- everyone does from time to time. It happens. These experiences can be used to strengthen us and to grow us. So go for it, jump in and get your feet wet. Don't let the fear of making a mistake hold you back.

Wayne Gresky once said that "You miss 100% of the shots you never make". So what is holding you back?

Why My Network Marketing Business Almost Failed...

Many people have made and are making fortunes in network marketing and MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) businesses. Usually only a small number of people make the big money, while 95% fail to achieve any measurable level of success! But why?

Network Marketing IS simple. It does not take rocket science to achieve success. It's just NOT easy to do.

Let me show you why it is so easy for so many to fail (this is my opinion of course)

The simplest explanation is usually the right one (a rough translation of Occam's Razor). I am going to use this theory to explain why more than 95% or more network marketers fail.

Are you ready?

What was the first thing that you were told to do? Go out and tell people. (I was told to tell 40 people within my first 2 weeks- did you have to fill out a list too?). Guess what, that FAILS 95% of the time.

Raise of hands, how many have heard that if you tell 100, at least 5 will join your business? My hand is up too.

Guess what? It didn't work for me.

Now, I'm not going to say this doesn't work, but I will say is that after six months of talking to people for hours every day this just didn't work for me.

Honestly, unless you're a natural born, confident, and charismatic sales leader going into the network marketing industry you'll probably have these same results.

Don't get me wrong some people are very good at talking to people and getting new clients, customers, and team members: BUT most aren't.

What about scripts? I tried that too. I used ones with a 20% conversion rate, and I still couldn't get a single one to join. Honestly, when you have 3 young boys wanting attention while you are talking to people on the phone, how can you NOT make it sound like you are reading from a script?

So what happens to most people after they've spent time and thousands of dollars on leads and advertising with no or very little success?

They get discouraged, they run out of money, they get tired of hearing NO and then...

They give up.

Hey, hearing NO all the time is bad for your self esteem, it gives you a lot of doubts about yourself and your network marketing company.

As I said before, most network marketer give up, and not surprisingly within the first 9 months.

The network marketer's perception of their business goes from one of opportunity to one of complete doubt and negativity.

Hey, what you think is what you are, so when the network marketer thinks that they and their network marketing business is a complete failure, a total waste of time, and a dead end, this becomes a reality to them.

Well, let me tell you. I did not want to be a statistic. I was and still am determined to make my network marketing business work. I believe in myself and in my network marketing business.

So something had to change. I changed my tactics. I am using a proven system, that can be used in ANY network marketing or MLM business. I have found a way to expose my business to more people in one day, than I can meet in a month. I have leads calling me, I make money even when people don't join my business.

I took control and I took action.

So what are YOU going to do?
