Focus is Key to Build Success in Network Marketing

I think one of the main problems I see in the network marketing community is focus.  I also think that this is on of the primary reasons for failure in our industry.  97% of network marketers never see their dreams become a reality; partly because of focus.

One of the buzzwords or phrases in network marketing is "multiple streams of income."  This is interpreted as getting into several "opportunities" and try to get income from all of them.  To me, this is nuts!  Until you MASTER one business it is unwise to do another.  I believe razor-sharp focus is paramount for all beginning network marketers.  Master one business; do it well and amass your fortune.  Take the money from your network marketing earnings and invest in real estate and stocks.  Your investments will produce the multiple streams of income you seek.

Don't fall into the trap of scattering your energy.  Find a good 5-pillar company and focus on building that your organization until you become an expert.  Then and only then should you consider doing something else.

Also, by being involved with multiple "opportunities" your are giving the wrong impression to others.  You are telling people that you are flighty and can't be relied upon.  People join people.  they join people they can trust.  People like stability.  Don't be a jumper (going from business to business) and don't have your hands in too many things.  Your multi-tasking is NOT duplicatable.  If what you do cannot by duplicated by ANYONE; don't do it.

The primary question people have on there mind when considering joining a business is: "Can I do this and will you help me?"  If you are scattered in your focus you will not be able to help anyone.

Therefore, my advice to you is to stop the madness and focus.  When you focus; watch your business grow.

Avoid Vampire Marketers or it Will Cost You

Vampire marketing seems to be the rage since network marketing hit the internet.  Vampire marketers are those who attract you by all the promises of big money, no effort, no sales, no phone calls, no meetings, just join their “opportunity,” kick back and watch the big bucks flow into your bank account automatically—while you sleep.  After attracting someone into their program, they take off for new “victims.”  In the aftermath their “victims” become discouraged because they don’t know what to do or they are “trained” to be a vampire themselves.

Vampire marketing is not network marketing at.  It is making a sale, collecting a check, making another sale, collecting another check, and the cycle never ends.  There is no residual income with vampire marketing.  Vampire marketing requires constant direct sales to earn an income.  If you ever quit, so does your income…bummer!

Another trait of Vampire marketing is the countless dollars you need to spend to advertise.  Since sales are so crucial to the vampire marketer they need to advertise constantly through solo ads, ad words, magazine co-ops, and other pay methods.  You need a huge advertising budget to be a vampire marketer and the average person  (like you and I) just can’t afford it.  Therefore, only the very successful vampire marketers make the big bucks.  Their ads emphasize money; big money, expensive cars, huge houses and the like.  I just wonder if they really own them!  I say this because many are fakes.  You can cut a paste a successful allusion of success anytime.  They believe in faking it ‘til you make it.  This is deception!

This MLM success secret is that you must learn is avoid vampire marketers, at all costs, and do not become one yourself.  There IS a better way…become a network marketer.  Network marketing is different than vampire marketing.  Network marketing is based on relationships, teamwork, giving, and receiving.  Network marketing focuses on people success, not money.  True wealth is the result of serving people.  When you truly serve people and EARN their trust, success is automatic.  Network marketers have a loyal following and earn high residual income checks.  Successful network marketers realize that they cannot build their businesses on their own.  They believe in teamwork. They build businesses that they can live off of after retirement.  In many cases their children and grandchildren will enjoy the success of a true network marketer long after he or she pass on.

Serving people and helping them reach their dreams will issue in the highest form of success. A person with a mentor’s heart attracts wealth—it’s a law!  God rewards those who help their fellow man—that’s a fact!

Therefore to have genuine MLM success, avoid the vampire marketer and only involve yourself with network marketers—people who serve people and gain lasting wealth by doing so.
