More than 90% failed in MLM - so is it a good business system or a scam ?

Is Network Marketing Or MLM For You ?

Are you looking for a serious business opportunity, a second income
or a part time career ?

Before we go on, is network marketing or MLM really a good business
system ? Well, the experts seems to think so with many of them advocating
using network marketing or MLM as a system to build your wealth.

Robert Kiyosaki who wrote the world's #1 best seller Rich Dad Poor Dad
and many others including "Retire Young, Retire Rich" has this to say :

"Never before has it been so easy to become rich. This new business model
offers a ready-made business system to anyone wanting to take control of
their own financial future. Rich People look for, or build networks - everyone
else just looks for Work."

Robert Kiyosaki says that if he had to start building his fortune today - he'd
definitely be using this business model.

So, just how could network marketing or MLM do to provide a ready-made
business system for you ?

Here are a few simple examples :

1. Networking marketing or MLM is about building your organisation of
distributors. It is not very different from building any business. It is about
building your own business using a proven system.

2. Network marketing or MLM provide you with mentors that have all done
it before. I.E. they have build an organisation (network) and they speak
from
real life experiences and not just reading from a book. Such "school
of hard
knocks" education is priceless and you don't get them from any
business school.
The best part is that they do not charge you for this education.

3. Network marketing or MLM gives you the opportunity to change your
enviroment. You get associated with people with similiar desire and leaders
who
will motivate you towards your own success. As the saying goes
"Birds of a feather
flock together".

4. Network marketing or MLM encourage you to live your dreams - your
dream
to being financial free by owning your own business. Some
employees or even self
employed may have money but never have any
time. They spend all their time
trying to make money. Is this financial
freedom ? In network marketing or MLM,
one can go for a long holiday
and their organisation continue to run (on auto-pilot)
and they still
return to collect their share of profits (commission). In Robert Kiyosaki's
quadrant, this is the "B" or business owner quadrant.


5. Network marketing or MLM is about using the power of leverage to
generate
residual income. Everyone in your organisation is working and
contributing to
your success. Your income is not limited to what you
can do in a day (24 hours)
but what you organisation (network) can do.

In fact there is really no upper ceiling on what you can earn. It will not
happen
overnight, but it will happens for those who are serious enough
and willing to
work hard to change things for themselves and give it
enough time to happen.


97% of the population prefer to exchange an hour of their time for an hour's
pay -
is 24 hours a day enough to trade for your financial freedom ?

So, if the system is sound, why do more than 90% failed ? Many joined
MLM
companies thinking that it is a short cut to riches. As most started
out on a
part time basis, they never really put in their heart and soul.
The slightest
set back is enough to make them give up.

Let's get real and know that MLM is a lot of hard work. Which business is
not about hard work ? As the saying goes "You reap what you sow". It is
important that you are comitted, put in serious effort to build, learn about
the
business and study why and what make the leaders achieve the
success that
they have. Learn and emulate their success. It is not about
getting rich
quick but all about building a sound business - building a sound
organsiation
of your own. The money may not be great at the begining but
as your
organisation grows, the power of leverage will kick in and your
income will explode.


Are you serious enough and willing to work hard to spend the next
3-5 years building your own business that can generate residual
income for you ?
