Frustrated with your Network Marketing Results?
47
Why are you struggling in Network Marketing?
If you are struggling, confused or just plain frustrated with your Network Marketing results you are experiencing , don't give up yet and continue to read on. I have been in this boat many times before, the boat that you are experiencing right now. I have also been one of those people who have blamed my failures on the products, the companies, my up-line and even the marketing plans. It wasn't that my "Why" was not big enough, it wasn't that my "Dreams" were not right in front of me and it wasn't that I didn't have enough "Belief" in my Home Based Business. The problem is that I was tired of begging my friends and family, tired of making lists, setting up home parties, dragging people to hotel meetings, plugging in my up-line on 3-Way calls, talking to strangers at Kentucky Fried Chicken at all hours of the night, yes my up-line really told me to do this. Folks, Network Marketing is NOT these things. Network Marketing or MLM is the vehicle that sells your product or service to the end consumer, it is not all the crazy thought up practices that you have been taught for the last 40 years and still continue to be taught today.
Network Marketing should instead be compared to a conventional brick and mortar business. Do you think that the owner of a McDonald's makes a list of his warm market and calls them all to share his new found business? Do you think that he 3-Way's in his franchise owner to try and help convince people that he has the best product and business opportunity around? Do you think that he has home parties or hotel meetings that he drags people to so that they can become excited about the opportunity he represents? If these statements seem silly, it's because they are. If a McDonald's owner wouldn't do these things, why do you? This is what people have been taught for years, and is one of the reasons that the term Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing has been misunderstood and tarnished in the publics eye.
If you have been involved with more than one Network Marketing company, ask yourself the question, "Why more than one company?" Now the answer may be related to the company actually going out of business or changing things so drastically that it made it harder to market the product or opportunity, but other than these couple of reasons, why do people seem to go from one opportunity to another? If you ask people, and I do, the biggest reason is that they are looking for that holy grail, that one company with the perfect product that will instantly make them a success. They blame there past failures on the products, the marketing plan, the owners and even their up-line. But the real truth will generally come out and when the dust settles the exuses go away and what remains is that they truly don't like how the traditional Network Marketing business is ran. Like I said before, they don't like cold calling, home parties, bothering the people they know, and plain just didn't like what was being taught. There was no simple to follow business plan, no real MLM training, no real help, just a bunch of people telling other people to just go out and share it with everyone you know and come across, that's it. Not a real solid foundation for success, would you say?
Ann Sieg, a very successful entrepreneur and Network Marketer shares the same belief that I do. People have been steered in the wrong direction and just plain brain washed for years. To understand why you are frustrated, why the old method of Network Marketing doesn't work and the truth about why most people either fail or quit their Home Based Business in the first 90 days, start with this incredible FREE book, The 7-Great Lies of Network Marketing.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for the comment and no you don't sound like an ad at all :-). The reason that there is so much going on with the whole Renegade System is because people see the potential, understand why it will work and have been so frustrated with the alternative, that it makes sense to learn what it takes to attract people to you and your opportunity.
I think what Mike, Ann and others have done is incredible. I thought I knew what internet marketing was really all about, but as I continue to learn the the real methods, not the hype and scam, it has opened my eyes to a whole other world.
Jim, I appreciate the comment very much,
Mike Witt

Hi Mike,
Very well stated.
I know from personal experience (dating back to the 70's with some firm headed by Rich DeVoss and Jay vanAndel I think and in the 80's and 90's with another similar firm) that even though I couldn't muster the drive to market the ol school way, I knew there was a potential if like-minded people could be ID'd. Now thanks to Ann Sieg, Mike Klingler and others, the WAY is here. Anyone willing to commit to do the work, remain dedicated and be persistent can learn to establish their online marketing presence. (do I sound too much like an ad here?)
Thanks for sharing and showing there are others out here that have experienced the same trials.
Best always,
Jim Hickey
