6 Main Reasons For Failure in Your MLM Business

1. Lack of commitment

When you start an MLM business it is important to realise that you will only get out of the business what you put into it. By simply "taking a spot" will not make you rich. You have to schedule X no. of minutes a days to build your business daily, weekly and yearly. In that time you need to be inviting, following up and closing people into your business. These are the only income producing activities that matter, everything else is admin.

Many people worldwide enjoy 6 figure residual incomes from network marketing but they had to work persistently and consistently to build that income. They turned up to do their business consistently and did not quit. The only person you can blame if you fail in your MLM business opportunity is yourself, so make yourself accountable TODAY! Look yourself in the mirror constantly and ask yourself if your actions for the previous week meant you deserve that 6 figure residual income that you are striving towards. If the answer is NO, then you need to do more.

You may need to discuss with your sponsor or upline how to best move forward as they already will have a track record for success. You should ensure you are plugged into the teams network marketing training and support system by attending the events that are laid on including meetings, webinars or conference calls. If your upline leaders are turning up to put on these events then you need to be there without a question of doubt.

2. Lack of patience

MLM is just like any other business in that it takes time to learn your business and time to build your business. If you talk to any millionaire or billionaire they will always tell you that on their journey to their ultimate success, they had many ups and downs. In almost every case, the fact that they stuck at it through the highs and lows will be the reason why they finally got to that success they set out to achieve. Remember the easiest option is alway to quit!

3. Having the wrong mindset

If you have the wrong mindset which is brought about by your upbringing, the negative people you hang about with and toxic beliefs that are instillled in you then you will FAIL. The good news is that this is an area you can work to improve with personal self development through books, seminars, online videos and associating with positive like minded people.

4. Choosing the wrong Company

My advise to anyone who is considering joining an MLM company is to check them out thoroughly before you do anything. Don't join a company on hype as you will regret it. The most important factors you must consider are:

* Who are founders and the investors of the Company. Do they have a track record for success and is the management team strong enough to move the business forward. Are they truly pro MLM? More often than not a corporate thinking management team with no previous MLM experience will NEVER understand what it takes to grow an MLM business and will constantly be creating obstacles for the field.
* Is the companies product one which excites you and that you can passionately talk to others about. If the answer is NO, then your lack of belief will mean you will not share the product or the opportunity with others. So you will FAIL!
* Does the company have a dynamic marketing website that will help you duplicate your business and succeed. Would you buy from the website if you were a new visitor? If the answer is no, then how can you expect other people you send to the site to buy.
* Does the company have in place the 3 key logistical fundamentals for MLM success in place: - Deliver the product - Take the customers money (Payment processes) - Pay the distributors commissions
* Do the company have a good training, support and duplication system in place?

5. Choosing the wrong sponsor and upline support team

When you do decide to join a company make sure you choose your sponsor and team wisely. You want to make sure you have a strong and experienced upline who already have a track record for success that you can model.

So many times I speak to people who have previously been involved in an MLM business opportunity and they never had any access to their upline or once they joined, their sponsor became very elusive. Find out who the upline support team is and make sure you get their contact details and can reach them.

6. Lack of marketing skills

If you have never marketed a business before then this is one of the skills you will need to learn to build a successful MLM business. There are so many different ways to market your business but you must find the way you feel most comfortable with and that gets results for you. Remember this will not be the same for every person.

Again this is where your upline support team leaders come in. They will have already built a team so will have experienced the different ways in which people have successfully marketed their businesses. Speak with them and get ideas. This is where company meeting events are great also because you will be able to exchange ideas with other people in the team who have experienced success. Word of warning though, be careful not to take advice from people who have not had success but apparently know all the answers ;0)
