MLM Ignorance Is Not Bliss, It’s Suicide
The poet Thomas Gray wrote in an Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College (1742): “Where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.”
It is obvious that Mr. Gray was not in an MLM company. Not knowing what you, as a network marketer, have to do or what your company requires you to do is sheer folly. Nothing to be desired at all Mr. Gray.
Nothing is more disheartening than to hear the horror stories of people earnestly working hard at building their businesses only to have them and their paychecks yanked out from under them.
And all done ‘legally’ according to the company’s Policy & Procedure or P&P.
I frequently hold training presentations where I speak about the Five Pillars essential to any successful and thriving Network Marketing business. What follows is a typical exchange with a participant:
“Oh well my company’s OK. It fits the 5 pillars pretty well.”
Me: “Great. So you’ve read your P&P.”
“Well, no I haven’t.”
Me: “Excuse me then, but how do you know it has the 5 pillars essential to your success?”
“Well the people are just great.”
Me: “And I’m sure they are. But it’s not the people who own the company or who made the rules. Or who will pay you. Or not.”
Silence.
Me: “I know why you don’t want to look. I’ve been there. It’s because if there is something you don’t like, you’ll have to admit it, you know ‘let in’ the idea, that you have been taken, that you have made a mistake. That you’re not as smart and pretty or handsome and business savvy as you think you are. So you’d rather look away. IGNORE what might be holding you back, IGNORE what’s keeping you from all that freedom, from all that money and time freedom you’re dreaming of and they promised you.
“Essentially you’d rather NOT know than know, isn’t that it? You’d rather ignore the 800 lb. gorilla even as it is sitting on your chest and picking your pocket as it’s eating your lunch.”
Belief is a double-edged sword, cutting both ways. Belief, as has been shown by science, is a necessary component of human survival. However, when the object of belief is injurious to life, health and wealth, belief can be suicidal.
What makes looking at their company’s P&P so painful for most people is the threat to their self image, to the idea that have leapt into a chasm without the slightest thought of looking first.
I know because I did exactly that not once, BUT THREE TIMES. And my friends tell me I’m bright, and intelligent!
I don’t say that for any other reason than to let you know
INTELLIGENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
The major stumbling block, the #1 obstacle to people gaining the success they dream of is IGNORANCE.
Ignorance of what the company expects of you; Ignorance of the ownership’s background and business history; Ignorance of what you must do to gain a check and how large your organization has to be for you to be able to retire at age 65 or 25 – if the company will ever let you do it at all; Ignorance of how to generate your own leads; Ignorance of how to train a downline; Ignorance of just what to do next.
And the only way to dispel Ignorance is to LOOK and then LEARN, acquire the skills necessary for this particular profession you have chosen.
You can begin with this free report to dispel the Ignorance that is holding you down, back and away from living your dream and owning your life.
PS: See why most network marketers don’t think the ‘bad stuff’ will ever apply to them. (It has to do with staying small and out of sight.)

MLM Success: Your 1st Step – DO NOT ISOLATE YOURSELF
A successful Network Marketing business cannot be done alone: The very first step you must take toward MLM success is to get connected – DO NOT ISOLATE YOURSELF.
This may seem apparent, after all it IS Network Marketing. However, you might be surprised at how enticing it is to so many to work alone and think “I can figure this out for and by myself” – provided there is enough information available.
Sorry but this a very wrong assumption for a Network Marketer, an ssumption that leads to the careless spending of great amounts of time and finally, in the worst case, to the death of dreams.
This is also one of the greatest differences between INTERNET marketing and NETWORK marketing.
When NETWORK marketers behave like INTERNET marketers they have greatly misinformed themselves. This behavior of working alone is in direct contradiction to what NETWORKING is.
Call me guilty of “profiling” if you must but Internet marketers are in love with their computers and all the software that they have installed. They believe that all that information is going to deliver them to the Promised Land, turning their PCs into ATMs.
THEN, and only then, will they emerge from their solitary cocoons and spread their wings!
Maybe. But this model does not and cannot work for NETWORK marketers.
NETWORK MARKETERS HAVE TO NETWORK!
By definition Networkers have to meet, talk to, mingle with, and share ideas with other people. At the initial stages of a Network Marketer’s life this ideally should be done with a team and a mentor. The best setting for accomplishing this is with a Mastermind group.
If you find yourself in an MLM company without such a Mastermind group, you are at a grave disadvantage. It is something you must correct if you do not want to see your dream shrivel up and blow away in the wind.
You can learn more about Mastermind groups and how to find one in this free report.
Don’t be shy. Take Action. NOW.
What are you waiting for? You need support. You need to bond with income partners who will turn into lifelong friends. You need a Mastermind group.
Here is how you can get all that for free.
