Network Marketers: Building Your Team Takes Time and Effort

"I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy"
Madame Marie Curie

It amazes me to this day, how many people enter into the network marketing industry thinking it is a get-rich-quick and easy scheme. This thinking could not be further from the truth. And yet, many new recruits maintain this mindset which ultimately leads them to leave the industry prematurely.

I have always maintained, and continue to stress to my team and potential leads, that success for your network marketing business is a 2 to 5 year game plan. If you are not willing to work your business for that time frame, then do not get involved. Granted, one can have, and have had success prior to that time span, but that result is certainly not the norm.

If you are providing people with false promises and hopes, then you are sending them and anyone who they may recruit, to an early network marketing grave. It is imperative that you openly advise your recruits and leads of the time and energy that it takes to succeed in the network marketing industry. It is not fair to anyone to offer false expectations.

In addition to the time span, many new representatives are given the wrong impression that building your network marketing business is easy. This statement also could not be further from the truth. It is true that anyone can can do this business and reach a high level of success without education or business savvy. But, this success is only reached with a high degree of effort and energy.

Although the network marketing industry is not physically demanding, one must put forth the necessary time and effort to build your organization. I stress to all my new recruits that if you are not able to devote, at the start, at least 6 to 10 hours a week, then it may not be the best time to get involved. I say this at the detriment of losing that lead. But, I would rather be upfront at the outset instead of having that person later realize that they were under the misconception that it would not take much time to succeed.

It is imperative that you are honest with anyone who has desires to enter the network marketing industry. Let them know exactly how much time and effort it will take to become successful. If you lose that person, then move onto the next. But, if you don't, and that person stays with you, they will be grateful and thankful to you for not providing them with false expectations.
