How I Know That Lack Of success Is Not Your Fault...

A little over a year ago, the last place I was looking at
to find reasons for my failure was the business model I was following.

I'm listing below some facts that my good friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy wrote based on his findings after joining and studying over 100 MLM companies.
I hope this will help you as much as they helped me
when you and if you blame yourself for your lack of success:


''The hard-driving, closing salesperson is about 8% of the population. And those 8% have convinced the other 92% that the 8% are right and the 92% are wrong. How did they do that? Because that is what they DO. It works for them, so they have total confidence that they are right, and when you feel their confidence, you KNOW they must be right, so you do what they tell you.

Ninety-two percent of the world's population is sales-resistant. They do not like to be sold, and they do not want to become that pushy, aggressive salesperson that nobody likes. Yet when they join MLM, some upline leader tells them, "Make a list of your friends and family. Call them up. Get 'em into the business. You need to hear 100 'No's for every 'Yes'.

Guess what? It still only works for the 8%. If you let them mesmerize you, you can wander aimlessly in the "failure" desert for years ... maybe forever.

You can't become something you hate in order to be successful. This model works for the 8% who are real salespeople. It's a disaster for the rest of us ... a very bad business model.

Every person on the planet has to be educated in the skills of what they're doing. Whether you're a doctor, carpenter, plumber, ditchdigger ... whatever you are ... you've got to be taught the skills of that business.

Do you think you can wake up one morning and say, "I'm going to be a doctor!" And you go down and join a company, get a distributor kit for 50 bucks, and you're a doctor?

Of course not. That's ludicrous...

...People get in network marketing, and they're told, "Call your friends & family." It's the biggest fallacy in the industry. Network marketing is not a sales business. It's a teaching & mentoring business. When you build people, people will build your business.

Those upline guru leaders will tell you, "Well, you didn't make enough phone calls. You're a loser. If it's to be, it's up to me."
Have you heard all that stuff? I'll bet you've believed it, too, haven't you?''
----------------------------

I hope some of you found some relief in reading this. If you are working on your business and your business is still not growing it is not your fault.
I've been there and I've done it all, got on conference calls, bought leads, signed up friends, family and neighbours etc...

Two years ago, I was visiting an Expo in Atlanta with my husband and
that gave me the chance to try the last thing that was left to try.
It's called: ''every 'no' you are one step closer to a 'yes' ''.
I talked to over 300 people in 3 days and all I got was ''No!''. Not even one ''Yes''.
Oh...hold on...I did get a few ''I'll think about it'' and a huge hit at my self confidence and at my belief in this business.

My days of trial and error were over when I realized that people are not numbers like I was taught.
People are people, they are brothers, sisters, mothers, spouses... People are not numbers... Listen to people and understand them, find out their needs and worries, and come up with a solution.
That is what people want...solutions to their problems, not products and opportunities...
I was doing it all wrong, no wonder I was failing.

I appreciate you,
