y know...well eventually it fades and if there isn't a huge check to show for it, a new distributor understandably gets discouraged and doubt sets in.

However, this is not what people think about when they sign up. They sign up based on emotion, and also based on how much they like or get along with the person presenting.

Now from a business

Thinking of joining a network marketing company?

Already in one, and not achieving the success you wanted?

Or have you been in several, and just can't quite figure it out?

Having been involved in network marketing for a number of years, and having struggled at the beginning, I have sympathy for those that just can't quite get the results and momentum they see others getting.

We tend to get the ‘what's wrong with me?' syndrome. Well, there's nothing wrong with you. It's the system.

Whenever something isn't going according to plan, it's almost always the system. What do I mean? Well, let's take a look at a very common scenario:

John is taking a look at a network marketing opportunity. He takes into consideration how much money he is told he can make, and how much money the top income earner is making. He also thinks about how unsatisfied he is in his current job. This network marketing business allows him to dream big, and imagine a better lifestyle. He gets pumped up, and signs up.

His sponsor is calling him every day for the first few weeks, motivating him and telling him to just keep calling people and he's going to get a huge check!

Well, at about this point, many people start to get burnt out. Maybe it's after one month; maybe five. But at some point that initial energy that pushes people to keep calling friends and family, and talking to everyone they know...well eventually it fades and if there isn't a huge check to show for it, a new distributor understandably gets discouraged and doubt sets in.

Now from a business standpoint, how much sense does this make? You're making a business deal and signing a contract, and all you've taken into account is how much you like the person in front of you and whether or not they can get you pumped up?

For EVERYONE - whether you're new or a scarred veteran - it's time to re-evaluate everything. The majority of people in network marketing have never made more then $30,000 in one year and have never worked for themselves. They've always had someone managing their lives, and they're used to doing just enough to stay in their job.

How can this same person expect to, overnight; start making six figures, become a leader, create a schedule for themselves, and stop thinking like an employee? For most, they CAN'T.

What is your sponsor and your ‘upline' doing to build your:

Time Management Skills?

Money Management Skills?

People Management Skills?

Communication Skills? (in person and especially over the phone)

The skills you need to actually create a real downline?

The skills you need to TRAIN your downline?

Well, we haven't thought about this, have we? Take a look at your lives and the lives of people around you, and think about how most people rate in those skills above. Mo
