It’s Harder to Make $1,000/Month in MLM Than $10,000/Month
Yes, you read that right, because it is true. This is one of the reasons so many people give up doing network marketing is they can’t get past this one idea. Network marketing is about geometric growth, versus your typical sales job of addition. I used to teach people to go door to door selling advertising to businesses and that job was about addition. Get one sale, go out and get another. Nothing was residual income, you were trading dollars for hours (like most Americans) and never did you bring on a customer that was then going to go sell for you. That is addition selling. Network marketing is all about geometric selling. I help someone get into business then they may go and bring someone else on that may bring someone else on and so on. But, few get to the level of $1,000 a month so they never get to see how easy it is to go from $1,000 a month to $10,000 a month.
Too many people treat Network Marketing like it’s a hobby. If you get into network marketing without the mindset that it is a 12 to 36 month commitment, at least, then, you probably should not even try network marketing. I recall I was at a company function a few years ago and I was talking to a real nice couple from Tennessee. Now, this function was only for $100,000 a year earners and above so I knew they were probably pretty serious about their business. They went on to tell me that they had gotten involved about a year before and their first 6 months they did not recruit one person! Let’s do some quick math everyone, been in 12 months, got zero people the first 6 months and now were sitting at the $100k a year club, not bad. You see, they epitomized the title of this blog. It took them 7 months to get to $1,000 a month but only 90 days later were over $10,000 a month. That is from geometric growth. The majority of their team they did not even know as they brought in someone who brought in someone who then blew up their business.
But most quit way before that type of growth happens. As the top income earner in my company I see it all the time. Someone has a decent team growing, experiences a minor hiccup, starts to question the business, which, gets their team to question the business too, and, down she goes. The people that tend to do best at network marketing are the people that have the long term commitment to building this as a business, not a hobby. You can get to a point where you CANNOT STOP the growth of your team, but, you have to get to $1,000 a month first.

WOW is all I’ve got to say! And it’s true in anything in life. The difference between those who succeed and make it to the top and those who don’t: DETERMINATION! When you have a vision it’s easy to see far and know that the small struggles of today are just making you stronger, paving the way for tomorrow. Thanks for always sharing so much value, Ray

Hi Ray,
I like your positive mindset and enjoyed the post!
Persistence is the difference maker. You won’t receive riches until you pass the test of time. Napoleon Hill mentions how riches arrive sporadically for a while until one day the floodgates open, which is exactly what you’re discussing with this post. Once you’ve gained momentum money flows to you with ease.
Thanks for sharing your insight Ray.

Great Article! Internet Marketing is a hard job but the pay off in the end is great. Nothing better than waking up to money.

Hello Ray, Not only does persistance have a bearing on your success, but what you are selling also makes a difference. For some MLM’s it is like trying to sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo. I am still trying to get started but I belive Numis will be easier than some other MLMs.

Ray,
Great post for getting the right perspective in this industry. It is much more like a marathon than a sprint. The story of this couple is inspirational to me.
Thank you again for another great post.

Another great post… I have heard stories of people earning 5k per month and quitting the business! I have a buddy who was in a popular juice business and had reached the rank of silver executive only to quit by saying that his spouse was not supportive of his business! If you’re going to get involved in sales Network Marketing just makes sense…

Hi ray,
This is so true. I just believe You will only fail if you quit. Period.
The problem lies with exactly what you are saying. My business and I guess most are similar to how you outlined getting paid. Iv’e been building my business, hadn’t sponsored anyone in for a while however the residual income keeps a coming!! And that was of course from my efforts many months prior. Thanks for sharing

Ray,
First off…
Congrats on becoming the first 6 Star in the company!
Second, I agree with you totally. You’re business can change in almost a blink of an eye and it’s with persistence. Momentum is literally unstoppable once it starts.
Thank you for your Amazing Leadership!

Thank you Ray.. You are a True Leader and no matter how long it takes. I will get to one of those $100,000 earners and up a year company functions.
When I talk to people, they just don’t get it. They can’t see the POWER of Residual Income and how it can improve their lives.
Thanks Again Ray…

Great post Ray!
You are so right to focus on the fact that it IS much more difficult to make that first $1000! Really it is because we find that we have SO much to learn! Our approach to people has to be spot on so that they will open up and listen, and even lean forward wanting to hear a presentation about your opportunity!
And until you have achieved the level of skill and practice your confidence is not up to par, which results in a low rate of sponsoring people into your business. This is where people get discouraged. But whe you have had some success, your confidence grows, and your successes become easier and more frequent! Then the geometric pattern of exponential growth kicks in and you are off and momentum kicks in. Awesome!
Thanks for another great post!

Hey Ray, how are you doing? I completely agree with you. I feel bad for all those people who come into Network Marketing expecting to make a killing a week and a half. I’ve had those kind of students. How sad.
Network Marketing is a profession, it requires skills and sometimes those skills take months or years to master.
Thanks for sharing. Great post.

Great post as usual Ray. I can really relate to the part where people give up just before success. I was one of them. But this time around fully knowing that this is at minimum 12 month commitment I am committed to being a leader and my success even if it takes 48 months I want to be able to leave a legacy for my daughter, and I am on track to do that. Thank you!

I think this is so true! Most give up before they have achieved their goals and dreams.

Hi Ray,
Awesome article and it is true. Most people quit when they are so close to success. Congrats on hitting 6 star. Keep up the value that you provide.

Thanks Ray! This helps. If people would think long term and think more about conquering their business rather than “oh we’ll see how we’re doing in 6 months” they would make it above and beyond their goals. I appreciate this very much. Thanks again!

Hey Ray,
Many people tend to quit after the first 3 months they join their MLM, then they jumps ships and join a new one. They really don’t give it time to build. To really be successful you need to work it hard for the long term.
