The Ugly Side of Network Marketing No One Wants to Talk About
By Brett Taylor

I can remember the first network marketing "opportunity meeting" I attended many years ago. Specifically, I remember the presenter saying a few things that I immediately identified with. First he told us that almost everyone he knew gave him an extremely hard time for joining a MLM.

Next, he forewarned us by saying each of us would likely experience the same thing if we told our family and friends about the business we were considering. He even correctly guessed that most of us had already experienced some form of this if we happened to mention to anyone where we were going that evening.

Despite these warnings, I decided to join. I immediately opened my starter kit, but when I did, I found something that was a bit ironic given the warning we had just heard. It was a sheet labeled "warm list."

I remember thinking, surely theyre not expecting me to go out and solicit the same group of family and friends they just got finished telling me would reject me and call me crazy, were they?

The answer was yes they were, and if you recently joined an MLM then chances are you were asked to do this too. I dont know about you, but if youre anything like me, the only thing you dislike more than selling is the thought of trying to sell something to your friends and family, especially a business opportunity.

Think about it. This is where the stigma of multi-level marketing stems from, as no one in their right mind likes the idea of constantly trying to sell every warm body within three feet of them on their business opportunity.

Just think, you never hear anyone actually refute the basic construct of network marketing do you? How could they? Its based on the most powerful form of advertising--word of mouth.

Also, its one of the only ways you can employ the power of leverage, which means youre paid not just for the work you do, but for the work of hundreds, possibly even thousands of others. Whats more, this income lasts a lifetime.

Despite the unparalleled income opportunity, the very mention of the word MLM sends the average working person running for the hills. Again, this is mainly because most peoples only reference of MLM is some guy they once met or heard about who constantly went around hassling everyone about joining his MLM business.

If all this isnt bad enough, warm market recruiting could also be one of the main reasons most quit so early after joining an MLM.

After all, its not easy to stay focused and committed when the first thing youre taught to do is something that leads to the worse possible form of rejection and discouragement a person will ever experience, that is, rejection from the people whose thoughts and opinions we actually value and respect most.

Lets face it, building a business from the ground up is tough enough without adding to it by having those we care about tell us that what were doing is a waste of time and will never work.

Now I know for some of you this kind of rejection and discouragement is actually motivating, as it gives you the opportunity to one day prove them wrong.

So if you're that kind of person, then by all means pitch every single person you know.

Another exception to this is if your family and friends happen to be your business partner(s). Again, if that describes you, then more power to you.

As for the rest of us, our efforts are far better spent targeting like-minded individuals we already know are actively seeking a legitimate and lucrative work-at-home opportunity.

And guess what? Thousands of these people are logging onto the internet each day, so this is much easier than it sounds.

Once you start making money (something thats practically guaranteed if you stick with it), then your friends and family will inevitably begin to approach you about what youre doing.

Is Faith Important In Being A Success In Network Marketing Opportunities?
By Kozan Huseyin

What makes people win and lose in Network Marketing. We hear great success with Network Marketing and we also hear the losers. So what makes a Network Marketing success story?

Why do people leave Network Marketing when it offers us so much potential? Why do some people achieve great results with Network Marketing, work from home, and live the life others can only dream of?

You will find out in this article:

* The difference between the Winners vs. The Losers of Network Marketing opportunities

* Is faith important to be successful with a MLM Marketing opportunity?

* How to build great faith in your MLM Marketing opportunity

+ The Winners vs. The Losers of Network Marketing

+ Network Marketing is an amazing home biz. Network Marketing contains two paradoxes which is an interesting fact to look at.

On the one side, more millionaires in the America owe their millionaire status to Network Marketing.

On the other side Network Marketing contains one of the highest dropout rates.

Here is a list of the winners and losers of Network Marketing:

WINNERS of Network Marketing: - Treats Network Marketing like a home biz

- Earns on average $120,000 every single year

- Set goals and stick with it till they achieve them

- And most important of all - take ACTION

- Responsible for more millionaires being created in the America

LOSERS of Network Marketing: - Think Network Marketing is get rich quick

- Think that the cash will come simply due to being part of the top Network Marketing company

- Finish all of the products/stock themselves

- Dont believe they can really make it in Network Marketing

- Treat their home biz like a hobby and or treat their television like a home biz!

- Leave Network Marketing within three months or less and when they leave, they blame Network Marketing and say Network Marketing is a scam.

+ Why is faith important to be successful with Network Marketing?

+ If you awoke in the morning and had a strong belief that you could not walk, it would be very unlikely that you would get out of bed. To be able to accomplish anything, we need to have a belief that we can rise to the challenge.

To believe requires faith.

When you make the decision to join the Network Marketing company you join because you have a strong belief that this home biz could work for you.

+ How to build great faith in your MLM Marketing opportunity

+ Ways to build great faith in your Network Marketing opportunity is with going back to your roots.

What I mean by going back to your roots is to consider when you first joined your Network Marketing opportunity what was your belief, what got you excited?

When you look at what got you excited you can work from that and build passion once again for your new Network Marketing home biz.

Affirmations are a great way to find the negative aspects of your beliefs about Network Marketing, yourself and your abilities and switch them around to make those beliefs a positive and profitable belief.

An even greater way to build your faith in your Network Marketing home biz is to look at your values. Looking at your values, evaluating, and re-adjusting you are given a faster way to see positive results.

To your greatest success,
