The Top 4 Reasons for failure in Network Marketing

The reason most people fail in network marketing is pretty simple to figure out. Many have asked me why I believe people fail and here are my 4 top reasons for failure in a $120 Billion Dollar Industry.

  • Lack of Money

  • People simply aren't willing to make a financial commitment to their business. If you don't have a budget your business will suffer. Thankfully network marketing is way cheaper to support and get off the ground than a traditional business, but if you can't afford the bare minimum for at least a few months, while you are building your business, probably best to not join and go get a job.

  • Lack of True effective action or any action at all

  • I read a report recently where 1200 network marketers were interviewed. In the survey they found that millionaire networkers were making 50 phone calls per day, successful networkers were making around 20 phone calls per day, and average networkers were making less than 10. If you're aren't prospecting you have virtually no chance to make any money in network marketing as outside of retailing that is the only way we get paid.

  • Not having a steady flow of people to talk to
  • You're either cold calling, purchasing leads, contacting your warm market, or using attraction marketing to get targeted prospects to speak to daily. If you don't have people to talk to - you can't really build a business. Working with a leader who knows how to generate leads consistently is important to your success.

  • Lack of training and underdeveloped skills
  • You must develop some skill-set to do network marketing, fortunately if you can make the dials and get over your fear of rejection, use 3rd part tools and not try to close your prospects you are 80% there. Nobody likes to be closed here, that may work for timeshare sales or car sales, but it won't get you very far in network marketing, especially since we are dependent upon others taking action to duplicate US. The other skill-set you need to develop will come in time through leadership, and personal development to become a bigger better more attractive business person. Your business will always grow in accordance to how much you grow. Network Marketing should be easy and fun, but people are people, so you do need to develop some skills to be successful in network marketing. Starting out you need to simply just talk to people and use 3rd party tools to do the heavy lifting for you

    - SOME WILL, SOME WON'T, SO WHAT - WHO'S NEXT.

    Benefits of my coffee that contains Arabica Beans, Rubusta, Green Tea, Bacopa Monnieri Herb and Gotu Kola Herb


    Arabica beans are actually seeds plucked from the cherries of the Coffea arabica plant and are one of the two types of beans used to produce a cup of coffee, the other type being robusta. Arabica beans have less caffeine, less acidity, more aromatic properties, and are considered to be the superior bean by many coffee drinking aficionados.

    This is the bean used for the more expensive specialty and gourmet coffees found in the United States.



    Green Tea

    The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.

    Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine.


    Bacopa Monnieri

    Bacopa monnieri plant is an Ayurvedic herb used in India for memory enhancement. Ayurvedic medicine has touted its cognitive enhancing effects for centuries. Bacopa herb commonly grows in marshy areas throughout India. Studies show that it has strong antioxidant properties, protects mental function in those with epilepsy who take the drug phenytion, while a study on rats showed administration improves learning skills.

    Gotu Kola Herb


    It has been used for thousands of years in ayurvedic medicine to improve memory and maintain a healthy central nervous system, and recent clinical studies support this tradition.

    Gotu kola protects the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the brain, which helps increase the brain’s oxygen supply. Clinical studies have shown that gotu kola improves concentration; in one study students’ test scores improved after taking gotu kola. Gotu kola has also been shown to have a calming affect on individuals prone to anxiety, and may also be useful in individuals suffering from depression.

    Gotu kola has also demonstrated an ability to improve the appearance of cellulite by increasing the body’s production of glycosaminoglycans, compounds needed to form the connective tissues that hold fat in place.

    Glycosaminoglycans are also needed to strengthen the connective tissue that surrounds the veins of the legs, and numerous studies have shown that gotu kola is an effective treatment for leg pain and swelling in people that suffer from varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Additionally, studies have shown that gotu kola lowers blood pressure, which may be helpful to both people with CVI and people struggling with high blood pressure.


    Cardiovascular Benefits

    Gotu kola protects the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the brain, which helps increase the brain’s oxygen supply.

    What's your time really worth?

    Whats your time really worth?

    A 100K a year as an employee is really worth about 1200 per week in income after you pay all your hard earned money to Uncle Sam. Then you have to factor in hours per day spent commuting, gas, childcare, dry cleaners, lunches, etc. If you work from 8 to 5 like 90% of the world (you can add 2 hours for commuting) so you're really working about 50 hours per week on average. So your hourly rate is really about $24 per hour. If your miserable in your job is $24 per hour really worth it? If you have children you can add another $200 to $400 a week to your net income, bringing you down closer to $18 an hour. So the question you have to ask yourself is a $100K a year really all that important or would you rather live on purpose and do something you enjoy. Personally, I would rather make $5 per hour and be happy than $100 per hour and be miserable. Also, with a job, you are not building any equity, so your really renting your time instead of owning it. With a home based business every day that business grows, so does your stock. You can will it, transfer, or sell it to the highest bidder down the road. The choice is yours, but do you want to rent your time or own it?

    Take this job and shove it!

    I would love to see if anyone out there can afford to hire me, but my guess is probably not. So I will just keep working away in an industry that many people think is a scam. My friends and family members may laugh at me, but If our industry were a scam why would Avon, Mary Kay, and Nuskin still be around after decades and be billion dollar brands? Why would David Beckham wear Herbalife on his LA Galaxy Jersey? Why would The Orlando Magic play basketball in "The Amway Arena"? Yeah, it's all a scam. Why do so many of my friends make 6 and 7 figure incomes in this industry, yet you won't even look, because you think it's a scam. Why do so many women get to stay home with their kids, because of the extra income they earn from their network marketing business - oh yeah, I forgot it's a scam. Go ahead and think that way and stay at the bottom of the biggest pyramid in the world - The Corporate Structure. Watch your less talented friends get promoted because they are better ass kissers, watch your wife have to return to work 6 weeks after giving birth to your child, because she doesn't want to lose her job. Better yet cut your 2 week vacation in half, so you can show your boss you're a company man and deserve to be promoted, or out of fear cut your vacation short, so you don't return to having your positioned filled by yet another eager soul who's half your age and willing to work harder and for less than you. Yes, have your kids being raised by nannies or daycare providers as it's only 12 hours a day between leaving the home and returning to the home after commuting for 2 hours in traffic - it's ok by me. But personally, I'd rather build my own pyramid, instead of clawing my way to the top of someone else's or trying to run a business with a bunch of employees who earn more than me - ha ha. Besides, I suck at kissing ass and hate traffic.

The only way to have a peaceful life is to renew your mind. Here's a few tips on how to renew your mind - so you can make a shift from all the negativity in our world:

  • Have very little association with negative people

    A Coffee MLM Company - Really?

    Recently on a 60 day sabbatical from network marketing, I made a joke with a good friend of mine in the industry that the next company I was going to jump in needed to either be a wine club or coffee company as I really enjoy drinking both.

    It wasn't 24 hours later when i got a call from one of my friends who had become a founding member of a new coffee company who offered me a position as a founding member as well. I did my due dilligence and discovered that over 50% of all adults drink coffee and that 60% of Americans prefer instant over brewed coffee (over 1.4 billion cups consumed on the planet daily). I also discovered that the company was debt free, going global (24 Countries), and had a low cost auto-ship of $50 (affordable for most everyone). I later looked at their comp-plan before I got on the phone with their master distributor and saw a pay plan like nothing I had ever laid eyes on. Truthfully, I had never seen a compensation plan, where I could see myself making over $500K in 12 months - this was the first of its kind and that was with only 1 of the 7 pay outs. Needless to say I spent the next 48 hours doing more homework and now, I can finally say that I have not been this excited about a network marketing company since I first got in the industry 4 years ago.

    Javita will be a great addition to some of the other top coffee companies in the network marketing arena: Gano Excel, Java Fit, and Oregano Gold. I think with the company's leaders James Dickerson, Donna Valdes, Phillip LeBlanc, and CEO Stan Cherelstein at the healm that we have a winner on our hands. Anyone who can see what I see and

    gets in on this groundfloor opportunity will benefit greatly over the next 12 to 24 months.
