Lessons I have learned in Network Marketing.


“You haven’t walked in my shoes.”

“You don’t know what I have been through.”

“I have been burnt and scammed so many times.”

Have you ever heard any of these statements from prospects or team members? If you haven’t than you haven’t been in the industry long enough. This industry is all psychological. If you can’t empower these certain prospects to change their mindset than you might as well tell them to take a walk before they suck the life out of you.

These are some of the lessons I have learned along the way.


1. We’ve all been scammed at one point or another in this industry. It’s not some random isolated incident. What you must do is look at it as a learning lesson on what to look for next time.


2. Go with your gut. You can question people, look at the comp plan, call the president of the company. If something feels good, than do it.


3. No matter what you think you’ve been through, there is always someone out there who has been through worse. Don’t assume the person you’re saying this to hasn’t seen the down side of life. He/She just chose to take a higher road and get through it.


4. No matter how tough things can seem or how many people complain, I know that my life is a thousand times better today with the love of my husband and two children.


5. You can’t create a better life by focusing on what’s wrong with it. Haven’t you watched The Secret or studied the Master Key System yet? Geeez!


6. Know that there will always be things you don’t know. Keep studying, internet marketing is constantly changing!


7. You’ll never, ever be able to please everybody.


8. Empower, don’t enable. Once you enable someone they will expect everything from you including you building their business for them.


9. Just because someone calls you to say they are a heavy hitter, doesn’t mean squat. They are usually looking for some kind of special deal or placement. If they have to call to tell you that, it should be your first clue. ;) We've found the people who produce and work the hardest are not the ones who brag about who they are.


10. There will be moments when you want to quit and walk away. Time outs are just as effective with adults. Just walk away to a quiet place or go for a coffee with a friend. In a couple of hours you will be in the right mind frame again and be ready to jump back in.
