Owning your own home based business is a wonderful thing. Most of us got into network marketing to obtain both financial and time freedom. We all started out with a dream to make it big. However, a very large percentage of network marketers give up and feel like it just doesn’t work. I believe that one of the main reasons for this is sponsorship.
When looking at an opportunity, just don’t check out the company; check out your sponsor and their sponsor. Do they have integrity? Do they have a system to help you become the success you are dreaming to be; or do they just talk about all the money you (they) can make? If their focus is the money…run! Money is great, but that cannot be the focus of a good mentor. Their focus should be YOU and HOW they will help you be successful.
The fact is, the company you are looking at or may even be part of could be great, but if the sponsorship is bad, maybe it’s time to pass it by or pull up stakes. If the product is good, you can still use it, but don’t waste your time trying to build a business if you don’t have the proper support. MLM can get very discouraging and you need a support system to be in place when things do get discouraging. You need leaders that have plowed the way and will help you build your business and urge you on when the times get tough.
After years of searching, I finally found a sponsorship that is what they said they were—committed to MY success. I call my sponsor often to get ideas and encouragement. If I didn’t have a strong support system I would have given up, again, in search of greener pastures only to become disappointed, again, and eventually give up completely. All I can say is, “Thank God for my sponsor!”
Most people that are sponsored into MLM are brand new. They need mentoring—period! Most sponsors in MLM just don’t get it; they think it’s about the money. Well, if you want to succeed in this business (MLM) you had better take your eyes off of the money and care for the people you sponsor or you will fail to build a big business that will pay you, your children and even your grandchildren.
In closing I would urge you to talk to the person who is going to be your sponsor. Google their name to see what is said about them on the internet. Don’t join their organization until you feel they are worthy to be your partner in business. If you are sponsoring someone, be a mentor and seek ways to help your associates to be a success. In doing so, you will be greatly rewarded!
