Have you ever stopped to think about why most people fail in MLM business? Why is it that some people experience life changing success and others never get their MLM business off the ground?

Certainly the lack of quality MLM training can often be the cause for failure, but why is it that some people who get great training still fail?

Belief

That’s why people fail. They just don’t believe that they can have success. Perhaps someday almost all people will come to the realization that MLM works, and that it can work for them. That someday will happen for you if you can truly understand and believe.

Belief #1 – You must believe in your MLM company

When you get started in MLM you probably believe in the MLM concept, it just makes sense, but a lot of people join an MLM company they will never believe in. You leave this exciting meeting and you’ve met people just like you who are changing their lives and it’s easy to get excited. But, when that excitement wears off, do you really believe in the company you just joined?

If you don’t believe in the company, you’ll never talk to anybody about it, and when asked what happened to your new business you will say something like “I tried that and it didn’t work”.

Build belief in your MLM company by asking questions, going to meetings, talking with successful people and putting yourself in a supportive environment. Read all the literature and participate in the webinars and conference calls, immerse yourself in this new world. If you don’t believe in your MLM company you have no shot at success!

Belief #2 – You must believe in your MLM company’s products or services

You must be a product of the product. You’ve probably heard it before, but have you done it consistently? Do you know your products or services backwards and forwards because you’ve used them? Would you sell them to your mother or best friend?

We were able to save more than $100,000 with our service, the same service that we market for $39.95 a month. Don’t you think our belief level is sky high? Nobody believes more than we do!

Sure, sales people can sell anybody anything, but most multi-level marketers aren’t great sales people. People with integrity have to believe in what they’re doing or they won’t do it. Use the same products you’re attempting to market or you won’t ever achieve long term success.

Belief #3 – You must believe in MLM

This is where almost everyone struggles mightily. I’d like to believe in MLM, but all I’ve ever done is fail. Take it from a former MLM loser, anybody with desire and time can be successful in MLM.

Study the industry, talk to people who are living lives on their terms and you will begin to believe. Get as close as you possibly can to successful multi level marketers and ask them what has helped them become successful.

We’ve got friends who didn’t believe in MLM until we took a 7 week vacation! Hearing about success is one thing, knowing somebody who has taken a 7 week vacation is a whole different ballgame.

Belief #4 – You must believe in yourself

Even if you totally believe in your MLM company and your company’s products and believe in the MLM industry, none of that matters if you don’t believe that you can become successful. Most of us carry a lot of baggage with us all of our lives.

The failures in our past do not have to predict our future, but all too often we let those failures trap us into thinking that we cannot escape. We believe that we cannot escape poverty, even though we can.

A very good friend of ours grew up in the projects on the south side of Chicago. His mother believed that she could find a better life for her children, so she moved her family, and in the process dramatically altered the lives of generations. Her children and grandchildren are different because of her sacrifice.

They are different because she believed!

We met her son and shared our belief that MLM could change his life and the lives of his children. Today our friend earns 6 figures in our MLM company, a fact that we are both thankful for.

When you develop all 4 of the beliefs in this article you will be given the opportunity to shape and change the lives of people you would have never met any other way. Prepare yourself by working on these beliefs so that when the opportunity arrives for you to play a role in life changing success in the lives of others, you are prepared.

Have you ever been to one of those MLM meetings or on one of those conference calls where everybody says how easy it is to make money in their MLM opportunity? Anybody can do this and we’ll all be making a fortune in no time!

Have you ever stopped to realize that all you’re doing when you say those things is setting people up to fail? When your new excited person experiences rejection and it isn’t easy for them, they feel like they must be the problem.

It’s working for everybody else, there must be something wrong with me.

I knew I wasn’t a good salesperson.

I knew I couldn’t do it, I’ve never been good at anything in my life.

We are destroying people that could become very successful by giving them unrealistic expectations. NO wonder so many people think MLM is a scam. When your new prospect joins your MLM opportunity and all they do is struggle, they think it’s their fault!

How do you avoid “destroying” your new team members?

Realistic expectations.

Make sure they know that MLM can and will change their life, but that success doesn’t happen overnight. Sit down with them and make sure that they know that they won’t be rich in a month, but if they work their business consistently they can achieve the life changing success they desire.

Less than 1% of all multi level marketers ever achieve a 6 figure income. We could debate that figure all day long, maybe it’s too high or maybe it’s too low, but whatever the figure really is many people hate it when somebody talks about it.

Why? Because if they are one of the many people that hype MLM as their way of doing business they certainly don’t want you to hear something as alarming as that.

We’ve been fortunate to have been successful in MLM for a decade now and we know the truth about MLM. Sorry, we forgot to mention that we were gigantic failures in every other MLM company we had ever been in.

So how did we become the former mlm loser?

Realistic expectations! This time we knew that it wasn’t going to happen overnight. Nothing like a few failures to get you grounded!

This time we knew we were going to have to get better, we were going to have to grow and we were going to have to stay in a company longer than a few weeks to have real, life changing, long term MLM success.

What would have happened if we had been told the real truth about MLM before? Instead of thinking that all we would have to do is talk to a few people, we would have known that there was more to it than that.

Most people just aren’t prepared properly to succeed in MLM. They could be, but we get them so high on hype that when they come down from that high the only thing left to do is quit.

Shouldn’t you be discouraged that only 1% (if those figures are correct) of the people that join MLM opportunities ever make it to a six figure income?

NO you shouldn’t and here’s why, 70% of the people that start an MLM business will quit without doing much of anything. That’s right 7 out of 10 people are going to quit in a few days, weeks or months.

Why should that make me feel good? You are absolutely in control of your life in MLM. If you will just stay in the game you can have tremendous success.

Every other MLM opportunity that we became involved in we were in the 70% of the people who quit. If you just stay in your company more than a few weeks your odds have now improved to a 1 in 30 shot at making $100,000 a year!

Staying in the business isn’t enough, now it’s time to realize that MLM is the greatest chance you will ever have at a better life than you’re living right now. Get serious! Find a mentor, somebody that has already accomplished what you want to accomplish, and listen to him or her.

Do what your mentor says to do and ignore all the negative influences in your life!

MLM isn’t for everybody. Some people are willing to give up the possibility of a much better life because they failed once, or even twice in MLM.

That just makes you normal! None of our friends who earn substantial money in MLM were successful in all the other things they were involved in. So what? That doesn’t mean that you can’t make it this time.

Tell people the real truth about MLM. There are no overnight MLM success stories but if you have realistic expectations and go to work, you’ll be amazed at the success you will enjoy for the rest of your life.
