Wouldn't it seem logical - if someone put together a catalog of products that other people could purchase WITHOUT joining into a MLM program? In fact, they could generate some sales for their products instead. What holds them back from doing so? It is fact that organization wants people to sell $349.95 package today because $5.95 order for product itself doesn't make them any money?

Please understand that I'm not talking about every company out on market. Watkins, NuSkin, Nutrition for Life and Golden Pride/Rawleigh each have catalogs of products you can buy without joining their program. The only problem is that you don't see very many ads for them. Instead you find ads that state "Make money with me and increase your income." or "Earn a new car within next 24-hours!"

Back in 1940's if you picked up a mail order magazine you saw REAL products you could order from REAL people. If you wanted a saw blade for your saw, you sent in a check and ordered one. You didn't join downlines to sell saw blades to others in your area. Now - if you want a blade for your saw you'd have to either wade through so much hype and bull that you may never find one. Instead, you just rely on Montgomery Ward or Sears.

See people - money is being lost in regular world of mail order simply because their are no REAL ads being run for REAL products. Pick up a mail order tabloid and you'll see immediately what I'm talking about. Why is everyone selling everyone else's stuff? What happened to our individual creativity? Most of answer lies in fact that so much hype is being pushed on general public it is ridiculous. People come on TV and tell you that you can make millions of dollars by running tiny little classified ads. They show you scenes of people relaxing on their yachts and making huge bank deposits. Society makes mail order business world look like something easy, carefree and non-tiring!

But perhaps, if I purchased a REAL product and loved it so much I might be enthused enough to join MLM concept later on down road. Wouldn't ultimate goal of building a downline be accomplished also while at same time selling product?

In Network Marketing, Multilevel Marketing, Internet Marketing or even Affiliate Marketing you will only ever do well if your team is doing well. Everyone needs to be taught and trained by your up line, you need to do your own research, take what you can use from your up line and then you need to teach, train and encourage your own team, your down line. A good leader will always tell you that his success in achieving and fulfilling goals and dreams has always occurred when he has had a good team and everyone rallied together for common goals of all concerned.

The same principles of leadership in sport apply in business, in fact anywhere there is a collection of people who hope to work together. You need to have a common goal or vision and all work toward helping each other by swapping ideas, communicating with each other effectively, working together, putting groups interests sometimes before your own. But at end of day, remember, there can only be one boss. This sometimes needs to be sorted before any team will succeed, one person becomes accountable to all, they take on full responsibility for decisions made and they should have respect of all concerned.

If they don’t then your business won’t exactly be flying along to top of your industry.

As an Affiliate Marketer my goal is to be debt free, financially independent from common systems of employment and have more time to spend with my Family doing things we like to do.

Are your goals similar? Does your Team liase with each other for common good? If not it is time to do something about it, re-establish communication channels and set new goals, reassess group vision and create a mission statement so that everyone knows where they are going. Success will come when you work Together.
