So a friend whom I accord so much respect shed light on some aspects when I badly needed a coach in Multi Level Marketing business.  And this is what he had to say,  “ Multi Level Marketing or Direct selling is NOT going to make you a millionaire but rather you have to purpose to be a millionaire in MLM business. “He went ahead and told me that the business in which I wanted to venture  in was equally like  any other traditional business.  Lusabara Essau is a homeprenuer and you can learn how to make money online through his website lusabara.com

The above argument got me thinking hard. I figured out the fact that I went to school eight years in Primary, four years in Secondary and four years in University.  I thereafter graduated to be a classroom teacher and I am earning 00$ per month. I love teaching and I have passion for what I am doing but what I am earning is not satisfying and in addition to that,  it will not satisfy me even tomorrow.  Maybe you will tell me I don’t have good skills of managing my finances. Hell no! I have a dream life, I want to own a beautiful home, drive an expensive car and give my children the life that I never had in my childhood. Now, that is what I call success.

There and then I realized that I had a duty to learn about MLMs. The  fact that I studied good 12 years to become a teacher and earn a peanut, then it required me  to probably learn my MLM business for equally same years to get the financial freedom that I wanted. But if it took me less years than that it would be better.

The notion of becoming an instant millionaire made me sick after having a lengthy talk with Lusabara. Most people, just like me, join MLM thinking they will become a millionaire just after signing up.  The truth is that Multi Level marketing business is just like any other business.  Therefore, if you treat it that way success will be a guarantee.  So I came into a realization that my MLM business called for my patience and devotion. I repeatedly remember this saying which he sold to me, “You can not sell meat to a vegetarian no matter how sweet your meat is. “  It was amplified in my mind and trust me it is too fresh to me this very minute.  I discovered if someone has little knowledge in MLM it’s very easy to lose friends because of the approach.

It is when I learnt that you can only sell your business opportunity to people who have entreprenual spirit and equally hungry for success like you. I am talking of individuals who consider MLMs has an opportunity to substitute their financial issues. And  therefore, with such people in your team you can build a strong empire as opposed to having people who join your business and lack vision for their lives.

He further told me that the success I get from my MLM business is what will cause people start asking me what I am doing to achieve my goals. The key points I captured from his website include:

(1) NOT everyone can be a multi level marketer – this business is for people with entreprenual spirit.

(2) The OLD school MLM is dead and Internet killed it.

You can build your network marketing business entirely online.

(3) You need sales and marketing experience to build this business.

I will summarize by emphasizing that,  MLMs policy requires the marketers to be honest by telling their down lines or prospects the facts about the company’s products and also the compensation plan. If someone lands in MLM business with the correct foot I. e right tools and knowledge required, then success is a guarantee. But if someone comes in the business with the mentality of becoming a millionaire the next day, then the chances of dropping the business are very high. That is when people start complaining that MLMs do not work, others call it a pyramid scheme, a scam and all other sort of ugly names.
