Home Business Struggles Got You Down?

By Kerry Alayon-Babas

Once you change the way you think about your MLM business, you will stop struggling. It sounds simple enough right? Think about the antiquated advice that many up-line sponsors are still handing out. What they are doing is creating hordes of frustrated network marketers.

You see, times have changed and there is a much better way of getting your business off the ground and growing your down-line. You can actually run it in a way that prospects will be calling you to come and join your MLM business. Those who are still chasing down their prospects and trying to convince them to join the business are going to be completely obliterated by marketers who bring value to their networks and teams.

I know what it is like to struggle with an MLM company. For the past 6 years I have chased down prospects on the phone, bought mlm leads, and tried to persuade family and friends to join my organization. I lugged bags of products to peoples houses and played fun games to engage the group of friends of friends at house parties. It was a bit humiliating when family members would ask what scam I was trying to get them into. Talk about frustrating. I did achieve a certain amount of success but not to the degree I wanted.

It was the combination of the pressures of the day JOB and the increasing amount of work from my flailing business that drove me in search of a better way. I could not believe what I was missing. There are growing numbers of successful online marketers who are creating tremendous teams with absolutely no prospecting or cold calling. They talk to their family and friends about the weather and the news rather than their new proposition. How cool it that?

In my quest for a better way, I found a program that can provide me with exactly the quality of life that I want and the opportunity to invest in myself both personally and financially. That is the first thing you need to do. You have to find a quality program that really resonates with who you are and what you want to share with people every single day. Get involved with the community, participate and become a leader right from the get go.

Make sure that you are a very active community member. Become a leader that shares with the community. You have many talents that others may benefit from. As you share with the community, you team will grow and become stronger.

Now for the catch Stop promoting your business. Cease and desist using those company replicated landing pages. Everyone is using the same one. Find a funneling system that will train you on how to properly brand yourself, generate your own leads, and bring value to your team. A quality program will provide you with everything you need to achieve your ultimate goals. Provided that you have your mindset on success, you will achieve your goals.

Tell me, would you join a program or follow a leader? What value are you bringing to the table? As you brand yourself and learn more about todays technology, you will bring more value to everyone you come in contact with. The brand you are now asking people to invest their time and money in is YOU.

Paying for leads, cold calling and prospecting your family and friends to grow your organization is an antiquated system that does not work as well as it used to in the age of technology. Bring value to the market, brand yourself, and stop struggling. - 15485
