Once I heard a “New School” Internet Network Marketing Guru say emphatically that the idea of residual income from building a network marketing business is a lie!
And there have been many top earners in this profession who have echoed these sentiments. Whenever they took an extended holiday, their business diminished.
Equally, there are many leaders who have built organisations that are self sustaining and grow without any further input on from them. This is the ultimate goal of network marketing. The key is duplication.
If you build a business based on your own charismatic personality, or based on a specialized skill that only you can do, then you will never achieve the freed that this business promises.
Duplication is a very important aspect of the network marketing profession. It allows us to achieve the big promise of MLM, which is to have a lifetime of recurring passive income, which gives us ultimate freedom.
However, there are 2 “laws” that hold the key. They are…
It’s not about what works, it’s about what duplicates.
The way in which you sponsor your people, is the way that your people will try to emulate
What this means is, if you do something that works for you, and not for anyone else, then the chances of you being able to attain the big promise of network marketing are slim.
Recently, a blog post by Randy Gage really struck out at me. He said the difference between “grinders” and “rock stars” is culture. Rock stars create a culture in their organisations, grinders focus on tactics.
I see evidence of this on the internet everyday with people filling their tool chests with the little tweaks here and there to inch them closer to the success they’re looking for.
In the offline world, people spend weeks learning neuro linguistic programming and the art of persuasion so they can manipulate others into their business.
But when they stop their business activities, the business stops producing, because there’s no duplication.
Leaders however, inspire others to find success from within, and this creates the true residual income and freedom that an MLM business promises.

Over 20 years, Cynthia Breed and her husband Bill tried four different MLM companies with little to no success. But they never gave up the vision of freedom that a network marketing business could provide them.
They were successful in traditional business. Cynthia had her own advertising agency, which she closed in order to raise her young family.
Their success in traditional business didn’t translate into success in network marketing, even though she had put her heart and soul into it. The missing pieces were the right skills, leadership and personal growth.
Well these missing pieces of puzzle fell into place when she read the book Success in 10 Steps, four and a half years ago.
With the right knowledge, system and leadership skills in place, she is building one of the largest organisations in her company.
When you were a kid, did you endlessly ask “Why”? Do you have kids that never stop doing that to you? You tell them to clean their room and they keep asking “Why?”. They just keep asking “Why?”, “Why?” and “Why?” until you get really annoyed and snap “JUST GO TO YOUR ROOM AND CLEAN IT NOW!” If you’re not guilty of this yourself, I’m sure you know someone who is.
That was just one example of how we are taught to stop asking “Why?” every single day. And it’s a real tragedy because it conditions us to stop questioning and being inquisitive. It conditions us to just accept the status quo and things cannot be changed.
As most people grow into adults, they tend to lose the visions of their dreams, they lose hope, they lose their sense of freedom, they become apathetic, and they get into comfort zones because they’ve been conditioned to accept that this is “their lot” in life and there’s no way to change it. There is no sense of self-worth. [click to continue…]
Do you know what’s so stupid about writing a list of friends and family, and then showing them the plan? Not only will they say “No”, they are also likely to criticise you, chastise you and laugh at you for doing your business. A lot of people will quit just from the criticisms of those who are close to them.
Whenever you make a passionate push for success, there are always going to be people in your life who do not want to see you change. It happens to everybody. The reason why is because they feel threatened. Their lives are so mediocre that they do not want to be left behind when you finally do succeed. Misery loves company.
That might sound a bit harsh, but that really is happening at a subconscious level, even if a friend or a loved one is expressing care for you and doesn’t want to see you fail and get hurt. They will pull you back down to their level unless you have a strong enough reason for doing your business. [click to continue…]
