MLM Success Tips: 5 Ways to Sabotage Your MLM Success
MLM Success Tips: 5 Ways to Sabotage Your MLM Success
For me, business has been going awesome. I am continually growing and doing my best to improve myself because that is where the deal is. There is absolutely no way to be successful in this business without taking the demeanor of a student. Always learning and keeping an open mind.
I have also met so many people who are continually inspiring me to reach for more and not settle. Some of them are my downline, some are my uplines, some are in the same company with me, some are involved in other network marketing businesses, while a chunk of others are not in this fantastic industry. It is an exciting time to be alive and believe me when I say that things can only improve.
I have also met people who say that I inspire them and are also looking to make things happen for themselves. They want to know exactly what they can do to move higher in their MLM business and it is always my joy and privilege to point them in the right direction.
While a lot of them expect me to teach them techniques, strategies and tactics to use in marketing their businesses, they are always taken aback when I tell them that while cutting-edge methods of marketing are crucial, they are not the most important.
Most Important Piece of Puzzle in MLM Success
The most important piece of puzzle in your MLM business is the realization that the results you will get in your business, on the outside, does not stand alone. It comes from within.
This analogy I got from Harv Eker would help:
For example, let’s suppose you’ve just written a letter on your computer. You hit the print key and the letter comes out of your printer. You look at your hard copy, and lo and behold, you find a typo. So you take out your trusty eraser and rub out the typo. Then you hit print again and out comes the same typo.
Oh my gosh, how could this be? You just erased it! So this time you get a bigger eraser and you rub even harder and longer. You even study a three-hundred-page manual called Effective Erasing. Now you’ve got all the “tools” and knowledge you need. You’re ready. You hit print and there it is again! “No way!” you cry out, stunned in amazement. “How could this be? What’s going on here? Am I in the twilight zone?”
What’s going on here is that the real problem cannot be changed in the “printout,” the physical world; it can only be changed in the “program”.
Same with your MLM business, if you have tried out methods, techniques and tactics of the gurus and you’re not having any success, then it’s time to take a look at your ‘program’.
I highly recommended that you pick up Harv Eker’s ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind’ for further study on the subject. However I will be giving you 5 proven ways to know if you are sabotaging your own MLM success if you are getting the kind of success that you desire in your business.
5 Ways to Sabotage Your MLM Success
Though this list is not exhaustive, here are five ways to sabotage your MLM business without fail
1. Complain about Spillovers, Upline Support or How Tough the Business is
This is a very lovely way to sabotage your efforts. Tell everyone around you how bad life is treating you. Ask them to organize a pity-party for you to make you feel better.
2. Don’t Stay Focused on Yourself and the Company You Are Joining
Yeah, along with your primary MLM business, start and continue pushing 500 other products. You will have leaders refuse to listen to you when they see that you are not focused on one business. I have never met anyone who has made a million dollars a year in network marketing that built more than one MLM business at the same time.
3. Plan and Talk About How Much You are Going to do Without Getting Off the Couch
Refuse to take massive action in your business, keep writing your warm market list and every other thing that would allow you go out there and make things happen.
Interestingly, there are people that would watch you for months to see how serious you are before they indicate any interest in your amazing business opportunity. Continue to watch webinars and other training materials without taking any action and they will NEVER join you.
4. Continually Brag About What You Achieved in 1908
Real leaders are tuned off by people who are annoying loud about their achievements. Don’t be that has-been. No one cares to hear what you did fifteen years ago. You gotta roll up your sleeves and go to work now.
5. Don’t Be Sure About Your Business and Exhume Lack of Confidence
You will not succeed in this business without believing in your company and product.
Of course there are more ways to sabotage your MLM business success, Kindly let us know in the comments’ section. Would appreciate you sharing this post with your followers too. Thanks!

This is great tosin! I love the part about bragging about past efforts, with nothing to show for today.
But you’re right, we can be busy “training” without taking action!, and its action that brings the results!
and you’re right, people WILL watch you – espcially your warm market – to see if you are for real, so you better get up and show them something!
great read, my friend.

Hi Kiki,
Glad we agree on these points.
Unless we consciously go out of our way to removing these obstacles, we will go nowhere.
Thanks for stopping by

Tosin,
It seems that one of the chief Ways to shoot yourself in the foot is to,”Don’t Be Sure About Your Business and Exhume Lack of Confidence” Too many of us think success is out of our hands. When in fact our subconscious “program” is sabotaging us! Our thoughts, even subconscious, are creating our reality.
Glad to be on the same page!

Hi Tosin,
I think that dishonestly telling people that there isn’t a bunch of work involved to be successful is a great way to fail. That is certainly something I’ve heard quite often. Turns me right off.

You are spot on man. There are many ways to sabotage a business. Sometimes people do it intentionally and sometimes they don’t.
I think it’s best to let people know upfront the work it will take to actually succeed. Our industry tends to attract lazy folks who want to get rich quick without doing the work. Sure, we get some good folks too. But we are the only industry that people join and expect to get rich in 60 days.
All businesses require focus, a game-plan, a strong desire to succeed and persistence.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful post.

Hi Tosin,
I agree complaining about the business and upline is definitely on the path to failing.
When I was still working for a company a few years ago, I managed a pretty big team. You can almost guarantee that the ones that left, got terminated or stuck in the same role for many years, were the ones that complained every day.
Great tips!

Am not into MLM Tosin, but I believe the 5 points you mention are essential for anyone wanting to succeed in your business.
HI Tosin, I agree with all your points for sure. I’m not in MLM myself, more in direct sales, but the same principles apply for sure.
I think getting out there and leading by example with the interest of others at heart (as well as your own success… there is nothing wrong with that)… but there has to be a fair balance.
Being ‘all into me, me, me’ will definitely turn people off for sure… and bragging about past successes in the ‘wrong’ way is never a good thing.
I am so pleased you business is doing well. You sure deserve it.
Best

Hi Tosin,
Being negative and inactive is a sure fire way to keep success away.
I’m curious what you think about a husband and wife having two businesses, one focuses on one while the other focuses on the the second. Do you think that has as low of a success rate?

Tosin great post:) I think the biggest thing is not to complain and whing. People are attracted to positive happy energy and if you’re complaining and moaning etc. it doesn’t look very good.

Some good points here Tosin,
I can tell you lead by example and walk the talk. It is ALL about the inside, it’s the mindset, the “programming” that determines our success or failure, everything else just becomes tools to use to achieve our desires. As you know, this list of five things only scratches the surface, that’s why we must continue to focus on personal growth. Success is simple, but not easy. Thanks for these reminders… Keep em’ coming my friend.
