Is Joining The MLM Industry The Smart Thing To Do?
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. What I wanted to do, is rather than just give a blatant promotion to join MLM, give you some insider information AND discuss the positives and negatives of being involved in the Network Marketing industry.
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. I want you to understand both the positives and negatives should you decide to join the MLM business and attack it head on with all of your effort.
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.
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 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. 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.
