MLM Yesterday and Today

Time is racing - MLM Yesterday is only 25 years back and it is already stone age. In those days it was state of the art to make a list of friends and family, to work in the warm market. For many this work from home ended up in frustration as these new entrepreneurs saw this business opportunity as a good way to work from home with the motivation of increasing the family income and having a better lifestyle, yet what they did not see was, that their prospects mostly were not what they wished for.

Let me explain this: offering this new business to someone who was not looking for an additional income was like offering a boat to someone who prefers hiking as a sport. Very often people ended up having friends and family antagonised or they received "good advice" to let go of such dubious business schemes.

Let's jump to today! In this very short span of time the internet has appeared on the scene. Many people have learned a lot more as to how to proceed in a network marketing business and to evade the "pains of old" a new trend has come up - to make the business automised in order to avoid discussions. Loads of offers can be found that claim things like "build your business online without sponsoring a single person" or "we build the business for you".
However, the success rates have not increased compared with yesterday. Lots of people invest time and money to become independent and self sufficient only to end up frustrated and at their wits end.

The solution is so easy: There is no profession which can be done without proper training! So why should anyone perceive that network marketing can be done without proper training?

Many people do not understand this - some do! Which group do you belong to?

We can say with all certainty that in order to make it in MLM you must have proper training just as mentioned in this outstanding article. Anyone who reads this and passes on the offer for free training is missing the boat. This is another wonderful article. Keep writing them. Maybe one day all MLM will see that there is some work involved with making an income on line. Lazy begats lazy. I want coachable people in my business not lazy ones. Thanks Frieke.
