You see, back in 2006, when I was about 9 months into my first network marketing company, and doing everything I was told, such as..
Making a list of the 100 people I knew
Inviting them to see “The Plan”
Doing home meetings
Trying to recruit everyone I met
Meeting people for lunch and drawing circles on napkins
And getting rejected over and over again…
After doing ALL THAT…
I had completely tapped out my warm market, had a small dwindling team of unmotivated reps who couldn’t recruit their senile grandma to save their lives. And I couldn’t get enough new people to fill my ‘leaky bucket’ of an MLM business.
Now, in spite of the fact that I had a degree from MIT and what most people would consider a “good job”…
Things Were Far Worse
Than They Seemed On The Outside…
I absolutely hated my job. The chilling idea of fighting brutal LA traffic every morning so that I can be stuck in a little cell for 8 hours a day… and doing it every single day for the next 40 years of my life sent goosebumps down my spine.
On top of that…
I was drowning in credit card debt and falling behind on my bills from all the money I was spending on this little business.
Not to mention being sick to my stomach of rejection, home meetings, driving long hours at night… as well as being made fun of by my coworkers, family and so-called friends. The same friends who accused me of peddling some pyramid scheme or products they could buy at Walmart for less.
You know what I’m talking about?
In the end, all I really wanted from my business was…
To Get More Money
To Have More Time
To Have Less Debt
And to Fire Your Boss!
But at this point I was feeling hopeless and totally discouraged. I didn’t even have it in me to pick up the phone and call another prospect.
I simply could NOT stomach any more rejection. As a matter of fact all this was starting to take a serious toll on my health. I was depressed. Angry. Didn’t sleep well at night. My energy was completely drained before lunch time. And I was only 26 at the time.
I was within a hair’s breadth of throwing in the towel and calling it quits.
And if it wasn’t for a little website I accidentally stumbled upon one late evening, I’m pretty sure I would have.
What I Discovered That Night SHOCKED Me
I discovered a completely new world which I felt was being deliberately kept from me.
I remember like it was yesterday. Sitting at my computer next to a growing pile of bills. Desperately searching for anything I could find about building my network marketing business online.
And I’m reading this article about a guy who was literally recruiting thousands of people into his business.
In fact, the exact figures were…
1732 Recruits In ONE MONTH…
And I’m thinking to myself… “How could this even be possible?”
Here I am killing myself, driving all over Southern California, doing meetings and I sponsored a whopping 17 people in almost a year. Yet here’s a guy who sits behind a computer and in a single month recruits a friggin’ army.
By the way, his name is Tim, and I’ll tell you more about him in a little bit.
However at that moment, as you can imagine, I was more than skeptical. After all, I’ve already had a fair share of “kool-aid” shoved down my throat. But I didn’t let that distract me from getting ALL THE FACTS before writing it off as a bunch of hype.
Instead, I stayed up late into the wee hours trying to soak in as much as I could, even though I had to be up at 5am the next day..
What I discovered that night, is that…
Almost everything I was told by my upline about building a successful network marketing business was…
COMPLETELY FALSE!
Big Myth Number 1:
This Is A Numbers Game
“Don’t worry about rejection. The more people you talk to, the more people you’re going to recruit. This is a number game.”
Ever heard this one before?
I bet you have, and it probably kept you from losing your mind when most, if not ALL your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers said NO to your business.
Because after all, it’s a “Numbers Game”, right?
Well, even though this is partially true, business is a game of numbers, there is a way to build yours without facing ANY rejection whatsoever, and skip the embarrassment that comes with it.
You’ll discover how further on this page.
Big Myth Number 2:
You Are Just One Recruit Away From An Explosion
I think some Network Marketing Leaders say that just to give you a false sense of hope that your winning lottery ticket is just one rep away. Theoretically it’s true. However I’ve met people who personally sponsored HUNDREDS into their company and never got their business off the ground.
I’ll tell the real reason why in a moment. And more importantly, how you can FIX this massive leaky hole in your business.
Big Myth Number 3:
Most Of Your Time Should Be Spent Prospecting
This one might surprise you. Prospecting by making cold calls, going to the mall, talking to strangers, passing out flyers or business cards… all this is a BIG HONKING WASTE OF TIME, compared to the leverage you have available to you with social media and the internet.
Seriously, think about it… if you spend all of your time and energy out in public and burning gas driving around town trying to get in front of people, you’ll have no time left to actually run your business.
I think Michael Gerber in his classic book “The E-Myth” summed it up best…
“Work ON your business not IN it.”
I, like many Network Marketers was not only working IN my business, but I wasn’t even making any money for it.
I’m going to show you how to shift your focus to much more profitable activities, that will explode your Network Marketing business without doing any traditional or in-person prospecting at all.
Big Myth Number 4:
Recruiting Is The Key To Your Success In Network Marketing
Now before you grab the torch and the pitchfork, hear me out. Recruiting is an essential part of your success in Network Marketing, but it is NOT the key.
Thinking that it is, would be the same as saying the key to McDonald’s success is selling franchises. It’s not.
Hold that thought for a moment, because this might be one of the most IMPORTANT things I’m going to reveal to you.
Big Myth Number 5:
Don’t Reinvent The Wheel
Do what other successful people have done, and you too will be successful.
Here’s the problem with this thinking. Most of the advice given today in Network Marketing, comes from the “old school” methods that might have worked well in the 80’s and the early part of the 90’s.
There’s absolutely NO NEED to “pound the pavement” on a daily basis, when you can let an automated system do ALL the heavy lifting for you.
A system that will AUTOMATICALLY…
Get leads & prospect for you without having to pick up the phone to cold call or deal with rejection from tire kickers ever again.
Get highly motivated prospects with a few keystrokes, real people who actually WANT to see what you’ve got!
Recruit people and make sales without even talking to them, until they sign up or submit an application first! (Made $60k in passive income my 1st year with this.)
