Good Press Bad Press, straight talking

What is it with NM; people have this fear, concern or downright aversion to it. You must agree it has a stigma attached to it. Having said that I have met very few members of the public who knows what they are talking about when it comes to Network Marketing. There is nothing funnier than listening to someone who thinks they know what they are talking about when they have obviously done zero research on the subject. It’s pretty sad don’t you think? If I had a pound for every time someone asked, “is it a pyramid”? I would be rich by now. And I am not even going there.

There is something going on that has to be put right.

There is nothing wrong with Network Marketing, in fact in my opinion and in many other peoples opinions it is an excellent opportunity for people who would like to earn extra income and lets say it also, if you want to get filthy stinking rich it can also provide that for you as well, your choice. Even the likes of Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad fame) are now extolling the virtues of NM as a business opportunity for people.

But there is a problem and that is that most people do not know this. So it’s all about education, education, education, (I think someone else said that first). What people like me have to do is to give you the information so that you can make a valued choice yourself as to whether you want to pursue an NM career.

Fundamentally when people are shown this business they have to be made aware that they are going to be the key element as to whether they are going to be a success. It does not matter how good the NM company is or how good the products are, or how good the training is, if you are not going to work the business then you will not succeed.

Whether you are a success or not is nothing to do with Network Marketing.

With conventional businesses I think the statistic is that 80% of new businesses will go bust within three years. So do we talk about that statistic in the same light as NW, no we don’t. The reason conventional businesses go bust is because it was the wrong type of business in the wrong place at the wrong time. The reason why people are not successful in Network Marketing is exactly the same.

So it is about personal education, making sure you have the right skill sets for you to succeed and making sure that you are joining the right company at the right time with the right products.
