Getting over the “Stigma” of M*L*M
This is a guest post by Todd Falcone
Good morning to you from South Beach! I’m about to board a plane this morning heading back from the M*L*M Cruise and thought I’d talk a bit on the subject of M-L-M.
It seems to me from a recent poll I took of my audience that many people who are out there prospecting struggle with what to do with their prospects when they have a “bad feeling” or feel that our profession has a “bad name“.
Look…let me put it to you as BLUNTLY as I can.
Network Marketing works.
It’s real.
It is here to stay.
And..it is GOOOOOOOD!
Having said that, and having done this for 20 years, I KNOW what some of you are going through when trying to deal with negativity or negative thoughts people might have about our profession.
Let’s put it all on the table, shall we?
Some people have had negative experiences when it comes to M-L-M. Some have been in a program and it didn’t work for them. Some have been approached by well-intentioned friends and family who LIE to them and invite them over to a cocktail party, only to be “pitched” something that they didn’t even want to hear about to begin with.
The REALITY however is this. Most people who say negative things about our profession really don’t even know what network marketing is all about. They THINK they do, but they don’t. So…they rely on what someone else might have told them or rely on ONE experience to give them a viewpoint of what this entire profession is all about.
When faced with negative people in the marketplace, individuals who say that our profession has a “stigma” associated with it, I simply brush it off…and so should you!
When you have a BELIEF in something and you have no doubt, this stuff won’t even phase you.
Who cares if somebody doesn’t like M-L-M?
There’s always somebody who does! ALWAYS!
Don’t let one person, or even 100 people bring you down.
Look at the FACTS. There are MILLIONS of people worldwide who are IN our profession…and LOVE it. Direct Selling is responsible for literally BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars in sales annually.
This profession is real.
This method works.
It is here to stay.
What we do has been around for hundreds of years. Not necessarily with a comp plan in place like most of us have today, but the PURE CONCEPT has been around for eons.
Work on your HEAD. Work on your BELIEFS. Get your brain in order.
Once you do that, it is OVER! Nobody can touch you. No one can topple you. No one can shake you. You become UNSTOPPABLE.
Trust me when I say this. I used to doubt. I remember asking myself, “When is it finally going to happen for me?”
Success takes time. Enjoy the journey. Seriously…even in the face of you not making the kind of money you’d like to be making in your business, you’ve got to realize that it TAKES TIME.
Success is a journey. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Love it.
This morning I again wrote the words in the sand at South Beach, “Miss you!”
I do!
Have a Super Week!
