Home Business Struggles Got You Down?

By Kerry Alayon-Babas

There are many network marketing sponsors out there handing out the antiquated advice of the 90s. Their advice is creating many frustrated home business owners. It is really not their fault. They dont know any better. However, you have to change the way you think before you will stop struggling with your business.

Information and technology has changed the way success is defined for the mlm business owner. Starting a new online business is as easy as clicking a button these days. The network marketers who are embracing the new technologies available and providing their teams with value and education are completely annihilating those who are living by the cold calling, prospecting strategies of times gone by.

I know these struggles intimately as I lived this life for almost 6 years before I found a better way to build my business. I never really enjoyed hauling products from house to house hoping to find either a new customer or distributor. Home parties really became a drag. Forget about prospecting the family. The humiliating comments I had to bear became too much.

Once I reached the point of desperation, I went in search of a better way; and I found one. I am going to share with you what I have found to be a better way of growing my network marketing business. It is possible; in fact it is happening everyday all around. The top earners in this industry are creating their network of teams without cold-calling, prospecting, or asking family and friends to join their organizations. They have completely thrown away the old school way of doing business.

As you change the way you think about your business, make sure you are involved in a quality program. It has to hit your passion and purpose. Remember you will be living this business on a daily basis. You want it to be something you LOVE. Every home business has some kind of community you can plug into to gain insights and support. Make sure you become a major player in the community from the beginning.

If you are already involved in a MLM program, then step it up. Put yourself into a leadership role. Show your up-line and your down-line that you have value to add to the team and the company. Remember, people will follow a leader not join a business.

Now for the catch Stop promoting your business. Cease and desist using those company replicated landing pages. Everyone is using the same one. Find a funneling system that will train you on how to properly brand yourself, generate your own leads, and bring value to your team. A quality program will provide you with everything you need to achieve your ultimate goals. Provided that you have your mindset on success, you will achieve your goals.

The real question is What are you bringing to the table? What value will you share with your new team members? This is what you want to market. What you want to do is brand yourself by sharing all of the valuable information that you bring to the table. The brand that you are selling is YOU.

Stop paying for leads and prospecting family and friends. Join the all star team by using technology and a team approach. Then you will achieve your dreams.
