Your Banker Doesn't Care...

With all the hype on the net these days about get in now and get 500 people in your downline overnight and so on. It sounds great in the beginning, but at the end of the day what is your check? Because, my banker doesn't care how many people I have in my downline, all he/she cares about is my check, and you should too. I think the problem with MLM is we spend so much time getting excited about our downlines and products, that we forget that the only reason we got into MLM was to make MONEY. If you're not making money in your MLM, you have a serious problem and that is the truth.

So my challenge to each of you, is quit playing MLM and start treating it like a business. If you are happy with your $100 a month check good for you. But most of us didn't get into MLM to make a $100 a month. As Randy Gage says, "If I wanted a $1000 a month, I would go get a paper route." Start looking at your bottom line. If your not making the money you desire in MLM than either get to work in your current company, or look for a company where you can start earning a check. Because your banker could care less if your a Diamond, 1 Star, Emerald, or whatever. All your banker cares about is can you cash your check.

To your success!

A Labor of Love

I was thinking the other day of why I am pursuing MLM and it is real simple. MLM allows me to take off for a week and go do a record in Salt Lake City with some friends (yes, I do sing and play guitar). MLM allows me to take my kid to Basketball practice last night at 5PM and CubScouts tonight at 4PM. Honestly, if it weren't for the freedom that MLM provides, I would find another profession quickly.

But how many people do you know in MLM who really have time freedom? Not many, even top income earners are working more hours than most people with full-time jobs just to keep up with the high turnover in their downlines. This is why I personally don't subscribe to just 1 MLM, but multiple streams of income. God love those who put all their livelihood into 1 MLM, but true happiness comes from freedom.

So my question to you is, are you truly free to do the things you love? Personally, I would rather live like Ghandi and be able to pursue a labor of love vs. living like Donald Trump and being stuck in a job and life that is not fulfilling.
