Don’t Be a Statistic, Focus on Results!
You see this all the time. Someone is excited about their network marketing opportunity but they let little things affect and steal their MLM dreams instead of staying focused. Here are some things to look out for and how you can stay on the right path to accomplish your goals.
Sad: Other Network Marketers
People that are outside of the industry cannot really help being negative about network marketing as it goes against everything “the system” has taught them, from kindergarten to PHD, we are taught to go to school, get a job, work hard and hopefully retire at a nice age (how has that worked out for most?). But, when someone that understands network marketing attempts to steal anothers dreams, it is pretty sad and quite scum-baggish.
Here is a common thing to watch out for that no leader would ever do but a lot of non-professionals do everyday. Person A joins a company, doesn’t have success due to whatever reason, joins another company and then targets all the people in their previous company badmouthing the company and how it is not growing, etc. This is the model of the weak. Instead of standing on the merits of their own company or the positive about their new company, they sink to a low level and just talk bad about the past company. The reality is that people can make money in almost any company and OF COURSE you are going to get people from other companies badmouth yours. IF their weak marketing affects your belief, in a way, you have already lost.
“Networkers that try to recruit by bashing other companies are idiots” – Ray Higdon
Stupidest Thing Networkers Do
If you want to rest assured on who NOT to join with, see if they bash a company they used to be with. This is a real simple test to see if they are absent of all professionalism and leadership. Believe me, I have been with 11 other network marketing companies that for one reason or another I did not have success with but that does mean I bash any of them. Anyone who bashes a past company is a total idiot as they should have at least learned something from that company and at least have gratitude that you learned something. That and it is just not professional and lets all raise the conversation of this industry by being professionals…share this if you agree!
If there is one thing that you cannot afford not to have, it’s belief. Don’t let someone steal your dreams and sidetrack you by believing someone with clear ulterior motives to try to bash what you are excited about. Obviously I love my primary company but if I talk to someone who is really fired up about their company, I act like a leader and encourage them to blow it up! The world needs more excited people and although I would love to work closer with everyone, I believe in abundance so I never have to bash another company.
The Standard Dream Stealers
The ones that tend to steal your dreams more are the ones close to you. Casualness causes casualty. A person close to you will voice their opinion (educated or not) much faster than a stranger. For some people that don’t understand this, their best bet is to focus on people they do not know or get postured quickly so they are bullet proofed from this very common phenomenon.
If you do not have people close to you telling you that network marketing is a scam, pyramid, illegal whatever, you probably have just not been talking to too many people. Here is a real easy way to answer the “Sounds like a pyramid” objection (at least for most companies). No, this isn’t a pyramid, we have an actual product..pyramid schemes don’t have a product and we clearly have one, any other questions?
Don’t Lose Your Dreams, Stay Focused
The MLM cemetary is littered with the corpses of people who have let others steal their dreams either by believing their obvious lies about a certain company or by letting friends that lack their desired lifestyle to talk them out of pursuing their dreams. Don’t be a statistic, stay on the path of those who have created amazing lifestyles and you will not be forced to live with regret and wonder what would have happened if you really went after your goals.

You know the minute someone reaches that point in their MLM journey where they TOTALLY ignore anything negative whether from family, friends, or anyone…they become INDESTRUCTIBLE!! but unfortunately, many will quit before they reach that point. That’s why it’s important to stay plugged in to mindset training and come back often to training blogs like this one, so you can spend more time with people who are like-minded and going in the same direction.
Awesome blog bro, thanks for sharing!

Awesome Post here Ray, I like how Eric Worre says it, “the only variable is YOU!” It’s not the company, products,leaders, or comp plan that effects your success (if others are succeeding you can as well) So anyone that bashes other companies they were in, total nonsense.
Thanks for this post dude!

Great post Ray. With some many Network Marketers now using social media “company bashing” is seen all day long. I often wonder if people are attracted to those who use this strategy.
Like you, I have been with many companies but I learned from each of them and count the experience as a blessing. I have nothing bad to say about the seven companies I was with that I failed at. Each experience has fueled me to success!

Great post Ray… I experienced this when I left my first company. I didn’t have anything negative to say about it (I could have but DIDN’T)but others did.. Then, when I joined my second company just 6 months ago some network marketers again had their opinion however I just got my head down and went to work!!! & the results flow in

There is no expectation or opinion about you that is more important than your own
“Rather than have others steal your dreams by raining on them, ask questions and find out about their dreams before you launch into your sermon. People buy what they want first, then what they need. Find what turns them on. It may not be what turns you on. By helping others get what they want, you’ll get what you want too!” – Denis Waitley

I’ve been with a few other companies, think they’re great companies and would never bash them as that is so disrespectful to the people that are in that company, giving it their best effort. Why would one network marketer take that away from another?
One thing I love about Internet marketing is it’s brought networkers from many companies together, helping each other, sharing our strategies and what’s working. I love that.
The more we focus on helping people, not tearing them down, the more successful we will be, individually and collectively.

Ray, as always, you are spot on.
I got all fired up about this same topic last week and posted a blog about it here: http://amyjoneal.com/mlm-leaders/mlm-leaders-beware-how-to-destroy-your-reputation-as-an-mlm-leader/
In fact, I mentioned YOU in my post, as you are one of the leaders in our industry whose integrity I admire most.
You rock!

Yes Ray, well said. All those who are associated with network marketing be it any company, their first moral duty is to create a positive image about this industry, educate those who are mis-informed. Hence if someone critisizes any company that he had been associated with but did not find much success, he not only spreads negativity about the company but also damages the image of this industry. So talking negative about any company will not lead you anywhere and will only limit your success with other companies as well.

I couldn’t agree more, Ray. It is such a turn off to hear someone badmouth another company. A little respect can go a long way and is the professional way to handle yourself. Your quote is spot on!

Hi, Nomusa,
Thank you for sharing Ray’s insights and your own personal challenges.
I totally agree with Ray about the bashing of other companies is unwise. I believe that Network Marketing is the Number 1 business model that everyone in the world should embrace.
Where on earth can we find another business model that can build people? What hope is it for an ordinary citizen to raise to new heights if not for the personal development and mentoring part of this industry?
We have to joint forces and advocate this industry. Bashing? Definitely no!

“Networkers that try to recruit by bashing other companies are idiots” – Ray Higdon
I agree 100% Ray. This industry needs more professionals to step and be true leaders like Ray Higdon. So many people bash companies and other people and you can immediately tell where they stand in leadership.
It is so interesting to see so call leaders use this tactic when they decide to move on for their families. They know that they can take people with them if they create a little doubt in the weak. Step up and be a leader as suggested in this post.

Great Post Ray,
It’s funny to me when people do this. They don’t realize that all they are doing is putting bad energy for themselves into the universe. Life is all about creating value in the market place like you say. That also means creating value in people as well. Stealing someone’s dream will only make it that much harder to reach yours. Just my thoughts!
Keep the Dream Alive!

Hey Ray, I appreciate the tips here. Great wisdom in fact! In order to stay focused and intensify faith in our dreams we need to be vigilant and always be on guard. When we know what to look for, we can better protect our dreams from the 98% who will definitely not make their dreams come true. They can be really convincing in their tactics and by applying the tips you provide in this post we can definitely help others stay focused as well.
Thanks again Ray.
