MLM Success: Make the Effort to Attend a Live Event

October 21, 2008 · Filed Under Starting a home based business, Training and education 

I’ve heard it stated that those people who attend their MLM or direct sales company’s live events have a significantly higher chance at succeeding than those that don’t attend.

Why would this be true?

I just returned from the Second Live Marketing Event in Dallas, Texas sponsored by Carbon Copy PRO Marketing.  I’ve already reviewed the event in a recent post, but today I’d like to get more into the mindset of attending live events.

What do you get at a Live Event that you can’t get sitting behind your computer?

  1. Informational trainings and company updates
  2. The ability to put faces to names of those you have become familiar with in your company
  3. The chance to form friendships and brainstorm with people in your company
  4. Many times there will be promotional discounts on company materials
  5. Time away from the drudgery of every day life and, usually a renewed drive to work your business.

These are all great advantages to attending a live event, but I’m not sure they can explain why people who attend these events go on to success at higher rates than those that do not.

I believe that it is not the attendance at the Live Event per se that subsequently drives a person’s success in their business, but rather something far more basic.

I believe it has more to do with a person’s mindset and drive.

This is a person who understands the importance of self improvement, education, and training in building their business empire.

This is a person who understands that no man (or woman) is an island, that we need to work with others to really make our business thrive.

This is a person who does not hesitate to spend money to advance their business.

For all the above reasons, I believe it is not the attendance at the live event that makes the difference between successful and unsuccessful home business owners.

It is the intent and willingness, the mindset if you will,  of the person to take their business to the next level by attending an event that really matters.

The event might be fantastic, with exceptional training and full of “golden nuggets” of information to take home, like the Carbon Copy PRO Marketing Event I just attended.

Or the live event might be lacking in substance, a little boring even….. it matters little.

What truly matters is the EFFORT you took to attend.

This is what distinguishes those that succeed and those that don’t in the MLM and Direct Sales business arena.
