Dont Struggle with Your Home Business

By Kerry Alayon-Babas

Once you change the way you think about your MLM business, you will stop struggling. It sounds simple enough right? Think about the antiquated advice that many up-line sponsors are still handing out. What they are doing is creating hordes of frustrated network marketers.

With the onset of the internet and the advanced technology that we have at our finger tips, times have definitely changed. Better ways of starting a home based business and creating a strong network are emerging almost on a daily basis. There are still many who are old school. They still chase down their family and friends. These folks are being completely dominated by the marketers who use the amazing technology we have at hand to bring major value to their networks and teams.

Struggling with a network marketing company was a way of life for me for almost 6 years. I called on my warm market several times looking for them to support my business efforts. Carrying products from house to house and having opportunity meetings on a weekly basis was not my gig. I felt humiliated by the negative comments people would make about the scams that I was involved in. Although successful to a certain degree, I did not make the kind of loot I was looking for.

As I reached the point of no return with my day job, it seemed as though the part-time home business was taking full time hours. Thats when I went in searched of a better way of growing my network marketing business. You would be surprised with the number of successful online marketers who are creating huge down-lines without prospecting their family and friends. The gurus of this newer way of marketing are using technology to their advantage. No cold calls and no prospecting. They are defying the old school way of marketing their home businesses.

In my quest for a better way, I found a program that can provide me with exactly the quality of life that I want and the opportunity to invest in myself both personally and financially. That is the first thing you need to do. You have to find a quality program that really resonates with who you are and what you want to share with people every single day. Get involved with the community, participate and become a leader right from the get go.

Make sure that you are a very active community member. Become a leader that shares with the community. You have many talents that others may benefit from. As you share with the community, you team will grow and become stronger.

The most bizarre thing I am going to tell you to do is stop promoting your primary business. Find a marketing system that will teach you how to brand yourself. A quality program will provide you with all of the training and ongoing support you will need to achieve your business goals.

Tell me, would you join a program or follow a leader? What value are you bringing to the table? As you brand yourself and learn more about todays technology, you will bring more value to everyone you come in contact with. The brand you are now asking people to invest their time and money in is YOU.

Paying for leads, cold calling and prospecting your family and friends to grow your organization is an antiquated system that does not work as well as it used to in the age of technology. Bring value to the market, brand yourself, and stop struggling.
