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.

The truth of the matter is that MLM is a great industry to join, and it’s a great profession to be a part of if you treat it right.  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.  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.  While I certainly am not willing to make any income claims, I’ll say that I currently make way more than anyone I know who works in the professional arena.

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?
