MLM Network Marketing Success | Realistic Expectations and Goals
If you're in the process of building your MLM Network Marketing business, it's important to have expectations and goals.
Unfortunately, many are lead to believe that this business is "easy and anyone can do it."
Keeping your goals and expectations realistic, as they pertain to your current situation, is very important to do.
In doing so you will keep yourself focused and avoid the urge to compare your MLM Network Marketing success, or lack thereof, with others in your company or in the industry.
Hopefully this little lesson from the Daily OM will help you in doing just that!
Financial Naivete
You may realize today that you have a tendency toward rather unrealistic expectations when it comes to business and financial decisions, which could leave you feeling naïve. Or perhaps you could find yourself suddenly realizing the impracticality of a choice that seemed so perfect earlier. When we choose the heights of the goals we would like to reach, it is good to remove all belief in limitations. Because we create our reality with our beliefs, it is important to let ourselves have the freedom to imagine whatever gives us a sense of excitement and anticipation. With that positive energy working for us, we can then look for the realistic steps that will take us in the right direction. By combining your unlimited imagination with practical steps today, you wisely work toward your goals.
We are only able to see a small percentage of the possibilities available to us from our vantage point at any given time. But when we trust the universe to guide us, we know that there is a place for ambitious visions that seem unrealistic as well as for the possibility of actually achieving them. For example if our ardent desire is to be a rock star, we first need to take the steps of learning how to play and perform music and getting the experience necessary. Today by accepting that life requires both big idealistic dreams and small realistic steps, you strike the balance necessary to create them

MLM Success Tip | Top 3 Communication Mistakes....Are You Making Them?
To experience MLM Success, you can't "pitch" someone on your MLM Business or product until they know, like and trust you.
Many MLM newbies and veterans alike, make some basic communication mistakes while talking to prospects, therefore never really creating any type of know, like and trust rapport.
By rectifying some simple communications errors, you can really kick your MLM prospecting and MLM Success up another notch!
MLM Success Communication Tip #1
Humor Me! : )
Believe it or not, this is probably the single most important communication tip I could give you. People are attracted to people who have a smile on their face, are having fun, and are approachable.
Think about the last time you bought something, if the person you bought from was enjoying what he/she was doing and having fun, I'll bet you were pretty inclined to at least listen to what they had to say.
MLM Success Communication Tip #2
Relax Your Body.
This very much relates to the previous tip, but it's important to relax when you're speaking to someone. If your body is stiff, people unconsciously start mimicking you and start feeling stiff themselves. When people start stiffening up, they also start "closing off".
Now I'm not suggesting you should be flinging your hands and arms all over the place when you're speaking, but a calm, relaxed posture will go a long way to making your prospect relax themselves and this will, unconsciously, "open up" the lines of communication.
MLM Success Communication Tip #3
Use Silence for Impact.
In this day and age with so much "noise" around us, many people feel uncomfortable with silence.
But, the use of silence when you are speaking, really helps your point "sink in". It helps the other person hear what you've just said.
Silence also provides a natural break in the conversation and allows the other person to ask any questions they may be thinking.
Remember what your Grandmother said Silence is Golden, this is very true when creating rapport. It gives the other person a chance to talk and communicate back to you. Which is a true conversation.
Applying these 3 MLM Success Tips will help you build the rapport you need when talking to people so you can build a solid MLM Network Marketing Business.

MLM Business | Advertising
Can you advertise in your MLM business? I can’t tell you how many people I have spoken to recently that are not allowed to advertise their MLM business! Not advertise their mlm products, not advertise their mlm opportunity, nothing!
How Are You Going to Get Business?
When I’m told this, the first thought that enters my mind is; these poor people! How are they going to reach their dreams, goals and desires?! They are excited, everything is within their reach, or so they are led to believe.
Then they are hit with the “write down 100 names” thing, and they start to get that “sinking” feeling. It hits way down, in the pit of your stomach, you wonder, can I really “sell” my friends and family?
Oh, don’t worry they say, you’re not really “selling” you’re “sharing”…yeah, right! You know what it is, and more importantly, you know what it feels like and it feels like you’re selling. So you ask, well what about advertising, that makes sense to you and, now here’s the best part, in your MLM business they say you can’t advertise, it’s all work of mouth. Now you’re really getting that Uh oh feeling…you’re thinking, how is this supposed to work? Can I really do this without advertising?
Without Advertising MLM Doesn’t Work
Why doesn’t it work? Because 92% of the population is sales resistant and they don’t like to sell or be sold, only a small few like to sell and be sold, they’re the Red personalities. Those 8% are the ones telling the rest of us to make those 100 name lists. We want to be successful, so we make that list, and it doesn’t work!
Ok, let’s just say that you dig in there and MAKE yourself do it. You make your list; you white knuckle it and just get it done. Now you’re stuck with this dilemma, how duplicatable is it?
Can the people you’ve brought in do it? There in lies the problem. Maybe you can do it, but you know how hard it really is, how hard the rejection is to take. See, you have a conscious, you know what these people are going to be running into and in the back of your mind, because you are caring person, it’s hard for you to subject anyone else to that kind of rejection.
Unless you’re a diehard Red personality, it’s totally against your nature. You care about people and don’t want them to have to deal with all that rejection too.
Advertising Is the Answer!
You see, non MLM businesses have known this all along. Why, because it works!
Even better, target your advertising. Only talk to the people who’ve raised their hands and say I want to hear about what you have. That’s rejection free advertising. Not everyone will want what you have, and that’s perfectly OK, don’t talk to them and you won’t be rejected. Anyone can do that! When you take rejection out of the equation it’s duplicatable for everyone. That’s what you want.
There are so many companies out there tying their distributor’s hands, telling them you can’t advertise here, or you can’t advertise there or you can’t advertise at all. It’s strictly belly to belly “word of mouth” advertising they say, “Because it’s the most effective form of advertising”.
OK, if it’s so effective how come it’s so hard to do? After all it is called Network Marketing not Network beat your friends and family over the head until they buy or join!
Remember 92% of the population doesn’t like to sell or be sold, so don’t do it! Advertising is the answer and if your company doesn’t allow it, then your company is tying your hands and you need to find a company who will untie them and let you build it the right way for you!

MLM Business|Love at First Sight!
Yes, when started in my first MLM business, it was love at first sight! There was the typical excitement. I LOVED the products, LOVED the thought of all that money, LOVED the excitement and LOVED being able to do it part time at home. I’m a stay at home Mom.
Sign me up!
So, I joined! I paid a lot of money so people could try the products out for themselves. Hey, I was gonna be making big bucks, what’s a couple thousand in start up costs…right?! Wouldn’t recommend it now! Went to all the local meetings, got on all the conference calls, attended all the seminars within 4 hours, and talked and talked and talked to all the people I knew and met (luckily it’s not my nature to be pushy, so they’re still my friends!) and guess where it got me? You probably already know, maybe it’s happening to you,…Nowhere! My first MLM love was becoming tarnished!
Frustrated, upset, confused
These were the first signs my love for my MLM business was diminishing! Hey, I wasn’t a loser! How come all these other people in my company could do it and I couldn’t? Although, looking around at the team I was on nobody else was doing it either, guess that was a clue!
Looking for answers
One day I was searching the internet looking for something, anything, to help me build my business and resurrect my first MLM love! That’s when I found my knight in shining armor! The MLM business ebook, Successs in 10 Steps and realized the company I was with wasn’t the right fit for me.
Shock and Awe
Now, at first, I was stunned. I thought ,how could that be? These products are great, other people are making it, maybe, I should just stick with it and work harder. Although, I didn’t know how much harder I could work, I was already doing more that everyone else I knew, plus I was only “part-time”!
Epiphany
Soon after I was driving down the road and had an epiphany. Maybe, if you’re in the same boat as I was, this will help. I realized I was going through a kind of “break-up”, with my first MLM love! At the beginning everything was so wonderful and I was going to the top, unfortunately, I had not educated myself beforehand on what was important to look for in a MLM. So I went blindly along, figuring if it’s good for one it’s good for all.
Learn and grow
I learned that isn’t the case. So just like learning after your first break-up, what you want/need and don’t want/need in a relationship, the same thing applies to your MLM business. Everyone is different and all MLM businesses are not the same for all people. So I encourage you, if you are experiencing loss of love for your MLM all is not lost!

Hope this helps!
