3 People Who Should NEVER Start an MLM Home-Based Business
One of the biggest lies propogated by MLMers trying to build a team is….
“Everyone and anyone can be successful with MLM!”
The fact is that, while MLM offers people a great opportunity to start a business who would otherwise be unable to do so, there are certain people who have ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS being in MLM.
Meet 4 such people:
Meet Lazy Larry
Larry’s friends gave him that nickname because he is, well, incessantly lazy! Larry hates work. Larry’s job isn’t terribly challenging, but he has to wake up early and he always feels tired. When Larry return home from work, all he wants to do is eat his take-out Chinese food or pizza, kick up his feet, and watch TV until it’s time for bed.
Larry never exercises, so he is overweight. Larry doesn’t go out much, because it feels like too much effort. Larry hires people to clean his house and cut his grass, even though he really can’t afford it.
Lazy Larry should NEVER start an MLM home-based business.
Like any other business, MLM takes a lot off effort to get it off the ground and grow and maintain a downline. There is no room for lazy people in MLM (or any business). MLM takes WORK!
Meet Worried Wanda
Wanda is a financial mess. She works at a job that doesn’t pay nearly enough. She can’t seem to stop spending money at the mall, and her charge cards are maxed out. He husband just got layed off, and Wanda is worried that she will be next.
There are never enough dollars at the end of the month, and Wanda doesn’t know if she’ll be able to pay next month’s mortgage payment. She is worried that she and her husband will end up homeless.
Wanda should NOT be starting an MLM home-based business.
Although MLMers promise low start up and monthly costs (and they ARE low in terms of starting a business), the fact is that it takes MONEY to run a business, and no one in a financially desperate situation should ever think of starting a business. It makes no sense, but you’d be surprised how many calls I get each week from people in similar situations who want to join my team.
I tell them to get their finances in order and then give me a call. I want to sleep at night.
Meet Angry Alan
Alan is angry at the world. He has what some would consider a “tough life” — he grew up without a dad, his wife left him for another man, and he can’t seem to hold a job because he keeps punching out his boss. Alan thinks that everything that happens to him is someone else’s fault. He feels targeted, put upon, and like the world is always dumping on him.
If he gets fired, he blames his boss. When his wife left him, it was all her fault for not loving him more. When his kids don’t want to see him on “his weekend”, he blames them for not honoring their father. In other words, Alan takes NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything that happens to him.
Alan should NEVER start an MLM home-based business.
It doesn’t matter if Alan has a good deal of money to get started. It doesn’t matter if he has all the time in the world to devote to his new business venture. Alan will fail– GUARANTEED.
Why?
Because when obstacles come up, blocking his success (and this happens all the time with any business), Alan will blame anyone but himself. He will feel VICTIMIZED, and he will quit.
When starting a network marketing business, you have to prepared for the setbacks. You have to understand that things are going to go wrong, block your way, and sometimes even seem insurmountable. You have to take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for everything in your business, accept temporary setbacks, and find a way around them. If not, you are doomed before you even start.
- Network Marketing is great for people who are not afraid of work and, in fact, look forward to challenges.
- Network Marketing is great for people who are not in financial ruins and can give their new business the time it will need to grow and flourish.
- Network Marketing is great for people who take full responsibility for everything that happens in their lives.
But for Lazy Larry, Worried Wanda, and Angry Alan, well….
Let’s just say that their money is better spent somewhere else, as in…
A treadmill for Lazy Larry…
A financial counselor for Worried Wanda…
A therapist for Angry Alan!
Got any more to add? I’m sure we’ve all had people on our team or met people who have no business being in MLM, if they haven’t quit already… tell me your stories!
To your success!
