Written by: Donal Hennessy

Article Overview: Does this scenario sound familiar? You have just joined an MLM company and you are excited about the prospect of your new online business. Within 6 months you are flat broke and quit. You have just joined the 97% of network-marketers who fail. Why has this happened?

An Alternative solution to the problems of MLM Business



Does this scenario sound familiar? You have just joined an MLM company and you are excited about the prospect of your new online business. Within 6 months you are flat broke and quit. You have just joined the 97% of network-marketers who fail. Why has this happened? Quite simply you were given a product to sell with little marginal profit, you required a huge down-line in your business to achieve this which was next to impossible. Your immediate marketing platform was expected to come from family and friends or some other form of invitation from cold leading prospects at hotel meetings and seminars which quickly dried up. With no proper form of training and support you were expected to purchase leads from your company which depleted your finances and left you broke and now you are at square one except even more broke than before with no marketing skills.

If you were to turn back the clock what could you have done differently? The answer is probably very little in these circumstances as the majority of MLM companies operate with these systems and the people at the top are those who usually survive. Consider an alternative approach. What if you found an alternative system that gave proper marketing training, coaching and support. What if you could find a product which required a much smaller down-line with greater profit. What if the marketing system was automated so you didn't have to necessary call prospects or deal with cold leads. What if you didn't have to purchase leads but through proper strategic marketing you became the hunted instead of the hunter. What if in conjunction with your sales you had an opportunity to benefit from a well structured compensation plan that rewarded you personally for your endeavours.

Would your business have failed within six months? Absolutely not. Could you fail? My answer to that is if all the proper structures that are needed to run an efficient business are already in place for you, the only thing that can make this proposition fail is you. Are your goals, dreams and ambitions real enough to seize this opportunity or will you stay in a mental rut of negative thoughts that has been deeply embedded into our sub-conscious and use excuses for your failure or will you become a success story during a deep economic recession? Only you can answer this question.

The message to succeed is clear. You can be excused for failing in an MLM business because of the whole structure and mechanism of how it operates. There is no excuse not to succeed in a business that serves its members with real opportunity because all the structures needed to succeed have been addressed and the success of its members is testimony to this fact. To succeed you must follow the right choice of business. There is a system that addresses the failings of the MLM business model. It does exist. There is a place for the 3% who want to succeed. The question is do you want to be one of them?

Entrepreneurs come up with "The Big Idea" - I just drop by and felt urge to say, that not only should you look for problems, but for solutions on problems that even doesn't exist yet. If you look for existing problems, then you might end up with the worlds best solution to a problem that may soon be outdated because of general development. So, don’t be one step ahead, but at least two.
Idea generation by researching - Industrial designers do idea generation for a living. It's often done by researching problems, and then coming up with an excellent solution. I think this method (of researching a problem) is perhaps the best for people wanting to be entrepreneurs as it greatly reduces the increasing volumes of useless products and unethical services being generated by greedy people. If you want an award winning solution to an excellent problem, industrial design consultancies will do that for you. If you want innovative ideas for business models, you might do well going to a commercialization consultancy that has savvy-savvy industrial designers onboard. There are unlimited ways of creating/finding ideas, even design philosophies (like methods) created to produce an appropriate outcome. If research is not needed (e.g., it has already been done) industrial designers are also an excellent source of ideas (for problems or solutions) and can pump them out faster than you can write them down, literally. But it's rare that in a professional situation they are required to just provide ideas at that rate. There are too many requirements from a project that prevent such a simple service being offered and it could probably only be provided in a light, friendly conversation with a designer. The ideas are also of high quality compared to any or most I have seen from entrepreneurs who have approached me as clients, and it may be partly due to industrial designers 1) understanding people so well 2) being able to solve problems using a unique process for any problem from any industry 3) understanding the basics of many industries and sometimes being specialized in certain industries 4) and having the research skills and resources to quickly familiarize themselves with an unfamiliar industry.

My entry - 1. The Best Business Books Ever: The 100 Most Influential Business Books You'll Never Have Time to Read - this is a fascinating book about the history of Business theory, and I'd recommend it to anybody. 2. The Big Book of Small Business: You Don't Have to Run Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants, by Tom Gegax. Ditto. 3. PADI: The Business of Diving Book Okay, so this book won't be of use to anyone who doesn't want to start a scuba store, but I did, and this book was of course invaluable to me in reaching that goal.
NO EXCUSES, JUST RESULTS - Look, I need to tell you something here. I only began to read the first post which has inspired me to post this. I use to manage a wharehouse of building supplies. I always told my crew that I did not want to hear excuses, I only wanted results!! When they would come to me with reasons why they could not get the job done, I would tell them this,,,"Why must you spend 20 minutes explaining to me why you can not do the job. Why don't you just spend 10 minutes just figuring out how to get it done!!". I use to tell them this, "No problems, only solutions". I always told them that to every problem there IS a solution. You just have to be the bigger person in order to figure it out. They tested me time and time again, and each time I prevailed. They began to call me McGiver!! I alway's found a way to find a solution. It's alway's there you just gotta find it. As they say on the x-files, "The answer is out there"
A little advice please - Hi Members, I have just been trying to paste the PHP version of my EC author badge onto my website (Wordpress) and it refuses to display. The IFrame code displays but even then it is a bit clipped as only about three quarters of the box actually appears, I gather that the PHP code is the preferred one but was wondering if any of you had similar problems and would appreciate your advice on a possible cause/solution ? regards, Mal.
