If you are like a significant number of network /MLM marketers, you are probably on a island by yourself.  FIGURATIVELY only. Most of the time you are working on your business while your “significant other” really doesn’t understand what and why you are doing what you do. They don’t have your passion. They don’t have your desire to get out of the rat race.

Like most marketers, you got into this great business because you wanted more than your J.O.B. was giving you.  You wanted to get away from the day to day B.S. that happens in most workplaces.  You desired to earn an income that will never materialize at your current position.  You have heard about the income of some of the top earners in the network marketing world and have thought to yourself….that is what I need to earn.

So, you stepped into the world of network/MLM marketing.

Then the reality stepped in.  You discovered that network marketing was FAR from a cake walk.  Your income the first several months was practically nonexistent. So, you kept learning and doing.  And learning and doing. And learning and doing.

After a while, your “significant other” started to ask some pretty pointed questions, such as “where is the money”, “I thought this was going to make us a bunch of money”, “how much is this costing us”, etc, etc.

You probably followed one of two courses of action to respond to these questions.  Either you didn’t answer directly or you gave the standard “this is a business and it takes time to get everything running”.  Either way, you were probably quite uncomfortable in answering. The answer was the real issue to these questions.

They weren’t asking “why aren’t you making money” they were asking “why are you trying to be different from everyone else around us”.

So, now what?

Basically, you have one decision to make … are you in or are you out?

Yes, building ANY business takes time and effort.  There are times when you will feel like chucking the whole thing….but you keep on because you “know” what exists at the end of the rainbow. You know that the business will take off when you reach the right mental state.  You know this because the business people that you are associating with have that “made it” have told you “it” is worth the effort.

BUT, what about the questions that you keep getting about “when”?

After you understand that the question is more about why you are not “conforming to the clan” than anything else, you can structure an answer to these questions.  The simple version is that you will always be the same as the people that you associate with every day.  If you associate with people that make minimum wage, you most likely will stay at that income level.

The other saying — if you want to soar with the eagles, you have to fly with the eagles – is the ONLY answer.  Nothing else matters.

So, how do you learn to fly with the eagles?  For starters, go to:  http://tr.im/emmfor and you will see some of the “eagles” that are in my group. Then you need to follow my example.
