Many times in life one asks oneself, "What is it going to take to make this work?"
The best answer I have ever heard is, "How badly do you want it, and what are you willing to do to get it." If you really want it then you are generally willing to pay the price to achieve your goals. The idea that results simply come to you is not accurate. Yes visualization is critical, but action is even more vital.
Over that last 2 years I have spent considerable energy analyzing MLM companies and trying to figure out what I have done right and wrong in the past in an effort to find the right company or companies where I could achieve my goals. Here is a list of the goals I want in a MLM.
- Create a true residual income stream: That means it can't go from $50,000 a month to $2,000 in a blink of an eye.
- Have the right to to have multiple residual income streams without risk of termination.
- Find a way to create only one "down line" so that if I choose to have multiple income streams I do not have to start over or risk termination.
- Have the ability to communicate with my down line whether or not I am part of the company, since it is absurd the ideas that someone cannot communicate with their friends for 2 years becuase of a unconstitutional paragraph in a independent contractors form.
- Have the ability to sell my position should I wish to whom ever I wish without ridiculous hoop jumping, or if the company suddenly changes the compensation plan which will cost its agents rightfully earned income.
- Have top quality training, mentoring and marketing materials without the constant approval of these companies and their annoying compliance departments.
- Only work with companies where we can easily show a new associate how they can earn their initial investment back or cover the cost of the auto ship in less than 3 months.
As one can tell these are some lofty goals, especially if the person reading has been involved in a MLM and understands the negative sides to the MLM industry. If one is new please understand that there are truly wonderful aspects to the industry as well. The goal in this post is to share with everyone how one can take negativity and turn it into something beautiful.
How badly do you want it, and what are you willing to do to get it? Well, for me it took a while of thinking, studying, accepting, brain storming to come up with a solution. A solution that we hope will permanently change the face of the MLM industry. We know it will not happen over night, and once an ideas who time has come appears, there is nothing that can silence it.
Get2Help2.com is a 100% membership site dedicated to protect the rights and down lines of someone in Network marketing. Whether they be brand new or an experienced veteran, Get2Help2 is there for us all. As we broke down the pitfalls of the MLM industry it became apparent that everything single rule in the independent contractor form was 100% in favor of the company and not the individual. Why is that? I think it is the 2 reasons. The first is the Green Rule; "He who has the green makes the rules!" The second is that as individuals they come, divided they will fall. Yes, these companies pay us and we should be grateful for the opportunity but at the same point without us these companies are nothing!
Please pay attention here because this is the most critical point! We the associates of any Network Marketing company are the single most important asset! Not the owners, not the compensation plan and absolutely not the product! We are the asset!!!!
If we sign up as individuals they have no vested interest in our rights. We simply are an asset or a commodity. They don't know which of us will work our tails off and which of us will barley raise a hand and then quit. They know if they sign up x number of agents they will succeed. Because we sign up one at a time we never use the most powerful aspect of Network Marketing which is the power of leverage. Leverage is the ability to use assets such as sheer numbers of members to our advantage. So, if we were a group of 5,000 or 10,000 Get2Help2 members and we as a group were interested in a new opportunity does one think that Get2Help2 might be able to negotiate directly with this company to create a more fair set of rules. A set of rules that protects the MLM, and also a set of rules that protects the network marketer.
As I said in the beginning, the key is the willingness to pay the price. It took over two years to bring together the group of experienced, wise network marketers that I am working with today at Get2Help2. We all share the same vision of a group of members working together to protect our rights and just as important our down line. Can one image never having to build another down line again.
