C’mon now…
Why would you subject yourself to the demands of a ‘Traditional Business’ when you could start a profitable network marketing side-hustle instead?
Why willingly offer your soul to a relentless grind, surrendering sleep and well-being, when you could potentially work part-time but earn a full-time income with network marketing?
Why shoulder the colossal responsibility, knowing that if it all unravels, the weight will crush you instead of having a ‘nothing to worry about, everything taken care of, smooth sailing’ network marketing biz?
Why would you endure 80-hour work weeks to evade a 40-hour full-time job… or even better… a passive income producing network marketing machine that generates and spits out tons of cash on a whim, whilst kicking back and relaxing on the beach enjoying your lap top lifestyle?
Why put yourself through all that traditional biz ordeal when the lucrative option of Network Marketing is waiting for you instead?
Hmmm…
Is it really that simple & straightforward?
Maybe it’s a yes for some, not so much for others.
Perhaps it depends on the kind of business, network marketing venture or even job one chooses because there can be many variables that will dictate the outcome.
However, what has been evident is that some network marketers like to assert that you can definitely work less and earn more by operating a network marketing business. It may also be worth noting that I once had a network marketer who made this rather bold claim when trying to recruit me, but also finally admitted they had never actually ventured into the realms of operating their own horrible, exhausting soul sucking ‘Traditional Business’.
So my question is… how could one possibly formulate an intelligent, informed opinion about something they’ve never experienced firsthand?
It’s a puzzling stance to say the least, and to be honest I’ve personally generated more income through my own ‘traditional businesses’ than I ever have through any network marketing venture I’ve been involved with… so there’s that.
So, was it merely a case of regurgitating what their upline mentor had told them, maybe from their upline mentors own failed experience in business, or even possibly their upline mentor’s mentor regurgitating the same opinions from their upline mentor who failed in business or even possibly that upline mentor’s mentor’s mentor regurgitating the same opinions from THEIR upline mentor who failed in business… or even… well you get where I’m going with this… right?
Yep… BS opinions can spread like wildfire when it’s blindly duplicated like that.
On the other hand, the internet is also home to a surplus of uninformed and highly opinionated armchair critics who’ve never dabbled in any form of business whatsoever but more than happy to denounce Network Marketing as a scam, branding it a financial abyss that alienates friends and family.
What’s that all about?
Because, quite frankly, that’s not true either. Plenty of network marketers have achieved tremendous success where the income generated through their network marketing venture clearly outshone their traditional business eventually allowing them to earn more dollars and work less hours each week.
I refer to it as ‘SBLM’ Syndrome (aka. Small Brain Loud Mouth Syndrome) and unfortunately it runs rampant within our societal structure, especially online.
Therefore, I think it’s fair to say that successes and failures have transpired within the realms of both Traditional Business and Network Marketing.
So, why do so many cling to a rigid “I’m right, you’re wrong!” mentality when there are clear instances of triumph and defeat on both sides?
Is it ego?
Results?
Common consensus?
This piques my curiosity because there are numerous people who own one or more ‘Traditional Businesses’ that have outperformed the majority of Network Marketers.
Similarly, there are some Network Marketers who’ve outshone numerous ‘Traditional Business’ owners.
There are even individuals in high-level employment positions who out-earn both of those ‘Traditional Business’ proprietors and Network Marketers.
So, who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong here?
It’s the one telling the truth and producing REAL results.
Why do I make mention of that?
Because distorting the truth, inflating earnings, and dishing out little white lies is more common than not within the Network Marketing space. The fervent desire to make a stellar impression on potential recruits, sometimes leads to this kind of behaviour.
Thus, the paramount message here is…
DON’T DECEIVE PEOPLE!
Everyone eventually sees through such deception, and it will only tarnish your credibility. At the end of the day your credibility is all you have, especially with this kind of model. Therefore, it’s always wise to do everything in your power to preserve it with the highest levels of honesty, integrity and 100% transparency.
The truth is, people will gravitate toward what they believe suits them best at any given moment. Undeniably, some individuals excel in Network Marketing and have reaped substantial earnings from it.
On the other hand, there are those who fare poorly, just as there are those who thrive and struggle in traditional businesses. There’s also nothing wrong with juggling both if you strongly believe it’s for you.
I don’t really have much of an interest in NWM anymore due to having more questions than answers. Therefore, I tend to stick with what is considered to be small ‘traditional’ type of businesses using more realistic ethical earning methodologies with our various online ventures etc. but that’s just me.
I would much prefer to make genuine sales to legitimate happy satisfied customers who actually want what I’m offering and actively seek me out to make a purchase with no strings attached.
I guess the crucial point here is that it ultimately comes down to what works best for you and what genuinely brings you happiness at any given time.
With that said… if you’re still planning on going down the NWM road… the crucial info shared in the next post is absolutely critical to be aware of because it is solely responsible for a ridiculous amount of devastating failures!
