At A Bit Of A Cross Roads

That's because you're attracting and sponsoring people online, and sponsoring anyone who's willing, rather than screening them professionally and choosing to spend your time, effort and energy only with the right ones.



That's because you're in the wrong company. MLM success is based on product sales: genuine retail sales to genuine retail customers. If the products are widely available elsewhere at lower prices, then the entire underlying business model isn't a sound one.



That's because you're recruiting people who want to "earn some money from home", not people who want to "own and build up and run their own business", have already decided that and are now actively looking for the right opportunity.

I could go on, Jon, but want you to appreciate I'm posting this in an attempt to be helpful, not in an attempt to criticise.

It's been clear to me throughout my time here that you're struggling in MLM.

I have a constructive suggestion, which may help you.

Read Yuliya Mironova's blog.

Read every post on it, slowly and carefully (there are only about 14 of them). She's a hugely successful industry expert. People she coaches become extremely successful. If what she writes resonates with you, try contacting her through her forum, and discuss your situation with her - she won't try to recruit you, because she doesn't do business in your country, but often makes unbiased, unincentivised recommendations. You'll be much better off taking advice from someone who's independent, and promoting nothing, and "where you want to be" (to put it very mildly). And good luck, and a happy New Year to you!

That would be my advice since I find MLM an inherently dishonest exercise.

Hi Jon,

From the mental science angle of things I'd advise you to shift your attention from what you don't want to what you do want. Your post focused primarily on all the things going wrong with your current set-up; wherever your attention and energy goes, grows.

Concentrate on what's going right. Be thankful for your current situation for it's motivating you to change your life. Set up goals and take 20 - 30 minutes per day to see yourself in possession of the goal. Become emotionally involved with the idea of experiencing your goals now. The visualizing process is the oldest and most powerful trick in the book.

When you visualize consistently and fall in love with your vision the ideas to make it a reality flow to you with little effort. You will know exactly what to do next, whether it's to stick it out, move on to another company or start a new venture.

Dwelling on your vision persistently allows inspirational ideas to flow to you with greater ease.

All the best

I have decided to stick it out but it will no longer be my primary focus. I’ll put more effort into selling the products on my blogs and websites and will be more selective in terms of the people that I sponsor into the business itself. In other words, I’ll screen people and will only work with people who are serious about building long term residual and leveraged wealth by setting up their own home businesses, rather than just working with anyone looking to make a couple of bucks from home. I really do have too much wrapped up in it to just walk away and the company is indeed legit.
