How To Get Rich Quick In Network Marketing

Filed Under Network Marketing Rant | Leave a Comment

Today I reveal the secret that most top earning network marketers do not want you to know. Once and for all the secret is revealed and most network marketers and top MLM earners will be angry at me for doing this.

The secret is:
There really is no secret to getting rich quick in network marketing.

It doesn’t exist. Don’t believe me…ask all the top earners out there if it does exist. Mike Dillard, Daegan Smith, Jonathan Budd, Tim Sales, Todd Falcone and countless others…they will tell you the same thing…it doesn’t exist.

The true secret to achieving success is it takes work and effort.

It takes what I call the 4 D’s.

You need to have Dreams and these dreams need to be big.
You need to have Desire and it has to burn within you to achieve your dreams
You need to have Drive…constantly working, constantly improving your yourself, your skills.
You need to have Determination…when you come across a challenge or an obstacle you need to be determined to bust through it.

I’ll give you an example of this…Daegan Smith when he first started out on line would get up at 5am in the morning and do what ever he needed to do. Whether it was post to his site, submit articles, prepare an ad.

Then he would get ready and go to his job. That is an example of desire, drive and determination. How many of you are willing to do something different to achieve your goals?

Ask yourself this question: ”
What is the one thing that can knock me off track from achieving my goal?”

What is your answer?

Anything other then nothing should not and must not be acceptable to you.

Remember this, if you’re looking for the shortcut to success…you’ll be searching long and hard, because it does not exist.

The true path to success is a straight line.

Get rich quick

As long as there have been people who want to get rich, there have been get rich quick schemes. The guys who sell mailing lists have a name for people who buy these schemes: “opportunity seekers.”

Raising ostriches, or timing the market or investing in tulips–there’s a long history here. The schemes tend to have a few things in common. They tend to have the same tone of voice (part breathless, part bad design, part ‘we’re just like you’) and most of all, they are too good to be true.

Being too good to be true is the key part, because if it’s too good to be true, maybe, just maybe, it is true. Maybe all those stuck in the mud types aren’t doing it because they’re skeptics, maybe I get a chance to invest in this video program/perpetual motion machine/envelope stuffing scheme precisely because it has scared away the conservative folks who never get anywhere.

Online, of course, like most things online, this has blossomed. You’ll see the long long web pages filled with ALL CAPS and bright colors and testimonials and “wait there’s more!” They look alike for a reason–it’s a signal to the opportunity seeker that this is one of those.

Do they convert watchers into buyers? Sure they do. Do a few people make money? Of course.

There’s a tribe here, and it’s always looking for a new leader. Someone who will sell them an exclusive $1249 course, or ongoing advice and consulting or some other insight that has escaped the market leaders. The more skeptics they generate, the better they do, because the skepticism itself is part of the story that needs to be told.

What’s being sold here? It’s not riches, because if the riches were automatic, the seller would just hire people, right? Why make 1,000 people into millionaires if you can just hire 1,000 people and be a billionaire? No, it’s the belief in riches, the thrill of finding just the right deal, the challenge of getting a relative to loan you money one more time. It’s the frisson of excitement from sending in the money, the rush of impatience that follows as you wait for the package, and then the scary moment when you open the package and come face to face with your dreams.

Of course, your dreams are rarely what you hoped (how could they be?) but soon, you’ll be back for more. It seems that being an opportunity seeker is about seeking, not finding.
