Have you ever wondered why people say Network Marketing doesn’t work?
We hear stories from people who have said they have done the business and no matter waht they did, they could not make it.
Do you think it’s the person or the business that doesn’t work?
We hear stories of how people say they aren’t any good with people and calling freezing, cold, warm, luke warm, or hot leads is something they dont’ see themselves doing.
Do you think it’s the person or the business that doesn’t work?
We hear stories of how people say they know someone who tried the business and just didn’t make it, so they couldn’t see themselves getting involved.
Do you think it’s the person or the business that doesn’t work?
We hear stories of how people are procrastinators and wonder why they aren’t getting any results.
Do you think it’s the person or the business that doesn’t work?
We hear stories of how people complain where do they get their leads from.
Do you think it’s the person or the business that doesn’t work?
I hope I have proved my point. We all know the answer to each of these questions is the same answer.
It’s you, the very reason why network marketing doesn’t work. Not the other way around.
So, where do I come off saying this and do I have any right???
I’m 100% qualified to tell you this because my first two years in the business I was an excuses person.
I found myself quickly blaming the industry versus blaming myself.
I can tell you with absolute certainty that this business works as long as you are willing to work it.
Here’s a little video I found. You’ll see what these people are doing had nothing to do with excuses.
The people in this video were absolutely confident they would succeed, and what you saw showed that.
Now, do you think you will succeed in network marketing?

Hi Jerome,
Awesome video…thanks for the entertainment!
I’m totally confident I will succeed!
In fact, I’m so confident that I will be in a different place 12 months from now that I passed up a very lucrative job offer today that came out of the blue. Didn’t think twice about saying NO! I told him I have a business, what it was, thanked him for the offer and asked for referrals : ) lol
Have an awesome day!

Hi Jerome,
Thanks for sharing the wild video! Those guys are something else.
If you aren’t making any money, YOU are not making any money. Your business has nothing to do with it. This is a tough pill to swallow but those who down it go on to be successful. They are fully responsible for their results which is the most empowering step any entrepreneur can take.
Enjoy your day

You know there is really no excuse to me except the underlying one I feel that most of these people are scared. Scared of change more than anything. Even they were to succeed it would take them out of their comfort zone.

That’s a fare assessment, people are scared. They are scared of the what if. I know I originally was.

Great video Jerome.
It’s called netWORK marketing for a reason. My advice to people is if you’re not prepared to put in the work, it’s best not to bother.

Hey Jerome,
That is an awesome video! I enjoyed the entertainment.
Now to your message. It’s all up to us to make it happen. Nobody is going to do it for me. I do have individuals that cheer me on. But they are not going to do the work for me.

It really says a lot about our message that if we want change then it’s going to take work. Yes we like to have people cheers us on, but what we’d rather like to see is others getting results.
Chat with you later buddy,
Jerome Ratliff
Hey Jerome,
Thanks for the inspiration brother. I am known for procrastinating sometimes. It’s not that I don’t work. I just work on too many things at once. But that is just as dangerous, if not more than being lazy. The reason being is, that laziness can be fixed in one step. Over stretching yourself takes much more effort to fix.
Thanks for keeping me in check.

Now think if someone told you that you needed to bounce your way along on your head to be successful…. you would swear it was impossible…
Clearly nothing is “impossible” if you believe it.

Wow, Jerome, what an awesome video!
You’re exactly right. We need to take responsibility for our own failures and shortcomings.
I was in and out of different network marketing companies for over a decade. I didn’t give any of them a real shot at success (or I didn’t give myself a real shot at success through them), because I didn’t see them as a real source of income.
About 5 years ago the light bulb went on and I realized this could actually be something more than a profitable hobby.
Very good post!
Susanna
I had this moment too. I’ll tell you what Susanna, it was quite invigorating for me too to have discovered what was truly possible was all within my reach if I was just willing to work it.
Glad you liked the video too. I thought it was really cool.
Have an awesome day,

Hey Jerome,
Well said, 9 times out of 10 it is actually our own doing.
It is hard to admit that first, but the sooner that is done, the quicker we move forward.
Thanks for this.

I agree Wayne, it is hard to admit.
So those that do, that says a lot about who they are. And those are the 2%ers.
Have a good day,

Hello Jerome,
I love those motivational posts…
We can’t expect anything no matter how big our dream is unless we do it and do it and do it, .. Imagine how many times this boys from your video had to fall and survive injuries before they have mastered their art..
So, instead of wasting time on blaming others, people have to review their work and find errors..
Stay positive,
Milena
Hi Milena,
That’s a perfect way to put it. Do it and do it and do it.
Great comment!
Have a great day,

You had me shouting the answers to all the questions.
Great video, that must of taken some real dedication to master…great connection to business.

Hi Melodie,
All of it is in our control. No one else, although some would disagree.
That’s the difference from thinking like a 2%er and a 98%er.

Hell,
I quit if we actually have to work at this thing. I thought that I could be like one of the top leaders who was 10 year, stuggling, overnight success. Right! Good Video Too.
Eric McMillan
Eric,
Great comment. I love it!
That’s all I have to say.
Jerome Ratliff
I agree with all your points Jerome. I also think far to many people are in network marketing that shouldn’t be. They are in it for the promise of huge money but they don’t love it so they are not prepared to do whatever it takes to be successful. If they found what they truly loved they would make as much money doing that probably… OK maybe not but they would at least be happy!

Jerome,
Wow what a video! It makes total sense because
in the beginning I did complain about everything
there was about NM.
The more you understand about the Industry and owning a business, the more you understand that it is up to you to get things done.
If your articles are not working, write two articles. If your videos are not being found, record three videos and submit them to 20 video sites. It lies in your hands, what are you going to do about it!
Have a great day!

Awesome video, Jerome!
Glad you’re not making excuses anymore. I used to be the same way a few years ago — I’d blame everyone but myself.
It’s a disease on our society, everyone blaming everyone else for their problems — and looking outside themselves for the solutions.
