Quick cash = quick crash.

Normal people can’t sleep at night when they have ripped off people and stolen their dreams. You have to get this understanding.

Network marketing is a business that can pay you and your children and your children’s children for the rest of their lives … when you build it with a “5 Pillars” company. For details on a “5 Pillars” company, go to “5 Pillars To Success.”

But so many people get sucked in to “build it fast.” I just did a call with a very excited lady. She’s in a binary and tells me, “Oh, they put me in a spot where I’ve already got 700 people down one leg.”

Good. How much money are you making?

“Well … none, yet!”

And that is because they don’t pay anything on the strong leg. They pay it on the weak leg … which no one will ever give you. You have to build that one. But they’ll promise you all those people on your strong leg, because it doesn’t cost them anything, and many people will just sign up because they don’t know any better.

Don’t fall for the scams. Build for the long-term.

“Be A Mentor With A Servant’s Heart!”

Some people seem to be forever joining the next ground floor opportunity. And the next and the next and the next … alluvasudden, somebody who made some money sometime a long time ago … this one is so good, they came out of retirement for it!

The Blue personality type is especially susceptible to this. (I know – I’m a Blue!) You’re looking for excitement, and what could be more exciting than something new? So you just jump, jump, jump, and you’re never in one place long enough to ever build anything.

Unless you own the Fountain of Youth, you’re going to get older, just like the rest of us. The worst words to hear in network marketing are: “ground floor opportunity”. Over 90% of the companies that get started, don’t make it 2 years. And most of the rest are gone after 5 years.

Your chances aren’t much worse playing the lottery.

It’s important to choose a company that has proven it will be around long-term. Pre-launch deals don’t qualify. Only a very small percentage of them will last even 2 years.

Your benchmark should be at least 2 years. It takes that long to knock the cobwebs out of it. It takes 2 years to get their ducks in a row, to get their campaigns together, to get everything approved in different countries, to get warehouses built, and all that stuff.

They’ve already survived a lot of the normal growing pains. They have much better long-term prospects than any “pre-launch”.Make them prove themselves by being around 2 years before you commit your time & money to that business.

“Be A Mentor With A Servant’s Heart!”

Before you join a network marketing company, be sure to check the background of the company leadership to make sure they have MLM experience, with integrity. A simple Google search will often surprise you.

Not doing this background check is a common mistake, often fatal to your business. When the management team has built a downline themselves, they respect you. Companies are nothing without us - the reps. If they could sell their products themselves, they’d just put some magical ad on the internet somewhere and people would come to buy in droves.

But it does not happen.

Why? Because it takes you and me to build the relationships with the prospects, so they buy from us.

And how do you know if your company leadership has integrity? Simple. Read their company Policies & Procedures. Then you will know.

99.9% of the people you talk to want to build a business and then retire and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

But these companies have come in the backdoor like snakes in the night. They’ve changed their Policies & Procedures, adding phrases like “ongoing sales”, “ongoing recruiting,” “continuous”, “regular meetings.” You cannot retire – even though they’ve promoted early retirement as one of the main benefits of their business! It’s amazing.

If you retire, they can legally terminate you!

Does that show any integrity? Does that show any respect for the reps who built the company, who brought the business to them? Absolutely not.

Your Policies & Procedures are THE contract between you & your company. They are written by the company lawyers. You’d better know for certain what YOUR P&Ps say.

“Be A Mentor With A Servant’s Heart!”

Network marketing companies are like a dairy farm. If you needed more milk, would you squeeze harder, or would you get more dairy cows?

Companies call it “raising the bar.” Suddenly, distributors have to buy MORE product to qualify for commissions. So the company forces the distributors to pay for the new $28 Million Home Office. Or the 100 new operators in the Call Center.

Companies that charge reps $19.95 or $29.95 or $39.95 a month for the website to look at their downline genaeology … THAT stuff should be free.

That $20 or $30 or $40 a month is virtually 100% profit to the network marketing company. They want to increase their bottom line. But instead of getting more cows, they squeeze harder.

More Squeezing

Companies that change compensation plans are squeezing harder. They know their reps have built to maximize rep income from the current comp plan. So a totally different comp plan will ALWAYS throw a monkey wrench into the rep’s design and increase the income to the company.

Companies that want more milk start changing comp plans, they charge for more Back Office doohickeys, they force you to order more product to qualify for commissions.

Or they do the RIGHT thing, and get more cows.

Which way does YOUR company play it?
