What It Takes To Make Full Time Income From Home

Although I absolutely love our industry because of everything that it can represent. Freedom, entrepreneur ism, fun, adventure, creativity, independence and community to name a few. There is one thing that I absolutely cannot stand about our industry.

HYPE

I remember when I first got started in network marketing about 10 years ago or so. I won’t mention the company, because it really doesn’t matter. But I will tell you that the presentation was pretty much a HYPE feast. When I first arrived there was heart thumping raver music playing in the background. Not to say that I was expecting Vivaldi’s “Winter” from “The Four Seasons” to be playing or Sounds of the tropical rain forest. But I also wasn’t expecting to start raving either.

I’m more joking here than being angry. Life’s to short, know what I mean?

Anyway….

The presentation started with the first presenter on stage. This was a lower lever leader in the company. If you want to equate it to a military rank I would say maybe a lieutenant or a captain. A nice story about the company and how wonderful it is. That’s understandable, I mean after all this is a business meeting to get new reps into the business.

After about 15 minutes or so, the lights were dimmed and we were shown the company movie. Still all systems are go.

Then it was time to introduce what I would call one of the Generals. This is one of those super star grand high exalted mystic rulers. This guys is standing in the back of the room and when he starts walking up towards the stage. EVERYONE stood up and started clapping. Since everyone was doing it, I did too. Why? I have no idea, I didn’t even know who this guy was, but I still stood up clapping. Was it mind control??? I’m just kidding, but I know I wasn’t the only brand new person there and everyone was off there feet clapping for this person that they didn’t know. That’s Hype in my opinion.

Anyway, he gave his presentation talking about the business and the money and the lifestyle and how if you just tell 2 people that tell 2 people that tell 2 people, in a short while you’d be making 10k – 20k per month.

That is what I can’t stand about our industry. That is complete nonsense. I mean, yes, mathematically it works. But the math does not copy reality in this case. That never happens. Maybe once upon a time when network marketing was in it’s infancy something along those lines may have happened. But it doesn’t today. Which is why about 90% of people that get started in a network marketing company quit within their first 90 days.

The company didn’t live up to the hype. Nor could it.

If you want to make a full time income from home, you absolutely can do it.

But first you have to figure out a few things.

1. How soon do you want to be making a full time income.

2. How much money do you have to invest into your business?

3. How much time do you have to invest into your business?

If you feel comfortable with the fact that in most cases it will take the average person that talks to about 5 people per day about their business 2 – 5 years to get to full time income. Then you will do well in a network marketing company. Obviously do your research on the company and pick one that has a product in alignment with your interests.

If you are wanting to generate full time income more quickly from home then you will need a direct sales or top tier company. The profit margins are much higher, and you make much more per sale. It’s the fastest way that I know if to go full time in the industry. Again you will have to do your due diligence in picking the right company.

Either way, telling 2 people about your business won’t cut it. You’ll need a specific marketing strategy. You’ll need a consistent way to generate leads and some sort of a funnel to run those leads through in order to sort them.

You’ll need some way to track and collect data so that you can increase your marketing in the areas that are showing the most profit.

In other words you need to treat your business like a business and not some “thing” that you kinda do every once in a while.

If you get serious about your marketing, tracking and your process. You can absolutely go full time in the industry in a matter of months with a very serious income. It is possible, but these are the things that you will need to do.

Don’t let the hype fool you. This industry is wonderful, but in order to successful you have to do things in a certain way.
