The first step to MLM success is obvious. It’s to make a list of your friends and family and get rid of them completely by constantly annoying them with your deal. That’s exactly what your “successful” upline mentor told you to do right? So now that you’ve exhausted your warm market and severed all of your close relationships, what do you do? (First of all, congratulations, you haven’t quit yet.)
Did your “successful” upline mentor then tell you to go buy expensive leads? Some people will tell you that the quickest way to build your network marketing business, get it going and earning commissions, is to buy hundreds, even thousands of targeted leads. After all, getting your business in front of the right prospects is one of the hardest aspects of this business and takes the most work.

I used to think being associated with a heavy hitter was a good thing, because I saw them as successful business builders.

As a professional network marketer, you should always conduct your business in an ethical, open manner with integrity. It’s your duty at all times to conduct your business according to the laws of the MLM industry. There are certain things you just can’t do, or you’ll be breaking the law.
In this world, we have a wonderful industry of network marketing, where there’s an awe inspiring culture of people connecting with each other, believing in each other and helping each other achieve success. However, there is a dark side to this industry that’s taking advantage of the good will of the people who participate in it.
