Relax. It’s Only A Network Marketing “Dweam”.

Guest post by: Andy Acciaioli

Article Overview: Dream building is often written off as an activity of our youth. In network marketing because of all the obstacles we face, it is essential that we build our dreams bigger than whatever objections or obstacles we encounter.

Relax. It’s Only A Network Marketing “Dweam”.

I just received an email from David Wood dealing with his early days in network marketing spent in Amway. (My first involvement with network marketing was with Amway as well. I often refer to this time period as my network marketing graduate school as their training was top notch. The leadership which took me under their wings taught me life lessons I will never forget relative to serving both customers and fellow members of my network marketing company.) David's email concluded "[In network marketing] We're not in the business of selling products, or services. We're in the business of CASTING a vision and BUILDING a dream."

Okay, you got me on that one. Building a dream?

Building a dream for someone else like someone who was part of my network marketing group? Get real. I was hardened by years of building a business. Dealing with employees who were oftentimes at odds with company policies.

Now you want me to take a bunch of my network marketers to the boat show, for example, so we can walk up the aisles of boats and dream build? Somehow I was hearing the word "dream" but it sunk into my head as "dweam"...as though I was a three or four year old.

But you know what? Amway had a point with dream building. If you are able to get your network marketing team members to start dreaming and start dreaming big, they can cope with any obstacle (such as their broke brother-in-law, Fred, who nags at them with statements like "...them pyramid schemes never work. I can't believe they hood-winked you into another one). As well-known author, Austrian neurologist and concentration camp survivor Viktor Frankl states: "He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how."

What is your why for doing network marketing? Is it that dream you have of one day walking into your boss' office and firing him/her? Is it the financial freedom of not working at all? Is it buying one of those boats, selling your home, and being at sailing 24/7/365 (as does my brother-in-law)? Or is it as mundane as being able to effortlessly make the month and your paycheck even out?

If your dream is big enough, folks, the "no's" you receive to join your business will not matter to you as you realize that each no brings you closer to a "yes". So, from one "dweamer" to another, get your entire team dreaming once again and you will see tremendous growth in your business.

Why do people hate Network Marketing / MLM? - I've been looking at a number of different opportunities and end up meeting a lot of Network Marketing / Multi-Level Marketing people. Some of the offers look interesting but everyone I talk to about it says to avoid these guys like the plague - what's the deal? Why do people hate network marketers and MLM people so much? Is it not legit?
Re: MLM Marketing, youtube, and buzzirk mobile. - I have experience with MLM too. My initial reaction to the business was "snake-oil salesman" but once I got to understand the "overall business model" I am now an advocate to it. MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) is also known as Network Marketing. I realized an MLM business is no different than any other business. One needs to focus on both words "Network" and "Marketing" and give both equal respect. Some people focus heavily on the Networking part but forget "Marketing". I've started to use Building on a Budget and Magnetic Sponsoring concepts in my NM business and have found that people don't get involved so much because of the product but more because of what you bring to the table as far as marketing systems and support. I have both products listed in my signature. you don't have to buy it as the link to the free videos itself provides you a good understanding of what is required to position yourself as my above paragraph. If you do plan on purchasing it I can tell you that the measly $40 will open your eyes BUT your upline will not be too happy (atleast in the short term) beacuse the system is not duplicateable. I wrote this post as a polar post to Bulmer's reply as I have exhausted the friends and family networking and realized i never really focused on marketing. My leads now are more qualified and open to hearing about my opportunity than the other way around. my 2 cents if you plan on growing an MLM or Networking Marketing business.
Network Marketing Business - Hello all, Recently, I had join a Network Marketing Business on a part-time basis. Does anyone here who has some knowledge on this type of business? I want to learn as fast as I can from all the gurus here
10 best franchises to get involved - My advice is: 1) Go to the library and start reading business books (accounting, finance, etc.) 2) Go to your local community college and enroll in night classes 3) Join the local Chamber of Commerce 4) Network / Network / Network -- through the above sources. Once you have spent two years doing the above, then look for a 55 - 60 year old business person that is looking to reduce their time in the business. Then you can work on a sweetheart financing option.
Re: answer this question - This is a good topic. I haven't done anything, yet, to seriously damage my business. I did shift gear though. It was the best decision I ever made. For me, affiliate marketing was not working. Making the switch to Network Marketing made all the difference.
