We all make mistakes. I've made more than most.
Whether you're new to network marketing, or an
experienced veteran, you will make mistakes from
time-to-time.

5
The key to success is to learn from each mistake and
never make the same mistake twice. Here are some
common mistakes to avoid at all costs:

• I've never met anyone successful in our industry
promoting multiple MLM Companies at once. Not one
person. Yes, that person might exist, but I've never
met them!
6

• To succeed at anything, you have to focus. Could you
imagine an Olympic athlete training for two different
sports? I don't think so. Pick one thing and do nothing
else.
7

• Don't expect ANYONE to take you seriously if you are
promoting multiple deals.
8

• People switch companies like they do their
underwear. It amazes me how many people I talk to
are in a new deal every 1-3 months.
9

• Folks, you won't build a successful business of any
kind in 1-3 months. Successful businesses take several
years to build. Pick ONE company you want to have
your problems with and stick with it for the long-term.
10

• No company is EASY to build. The problem is not the
opportunity you are in. The problem is YOU. Until you
develop the right skills and mindset you will fail at
EVERY opportunity you promote.
11

# 3 Reinventing the Wheel
• Lots of people entering our industry are not
coachable. Rather than listen to their successful
upline, and follow that person's advice, they reinvent
the wheel and try to do things their own way. That
never works! If you are new, or not successful yet, do
not EVER deviate from your successful upline's
system.
12

• Expecting to make money your first year in ANY type
of business is not realistic. You might make money,
but it's highly unlikely.
13

• Why? Businesses take time to build. Could you
imagine a restaurant owner spending $100k to open a
restaurant and then closing it two months later
because he wasn't making money yet? Nope.
14

• You need to take the long-term view with your
business.
15

# 5 Not Listening to Your Mentor
• You must be coachable. If you have a successful
mentor who is willing to help you, you are a FOOL not
to do what they suggest. When you call your mentor
THEY should do all the talking, not you. You should
take notes and do everything they tell you to do.
Otherwise, you are wasting their time and yours.
16

# 6 Not Staying Plugged In
• Network marketing is an event driven business. Do
not be the lone wolf. Attend every meeting and event
no matter what. Once people "fade out" of the system
and events, they're normally out of the business in
less than 30-days.
17

• People treat their business like an unwanted step
child. Most people dabble with their business,
because they have very little money invested in their
business.
18

• If you treat this like a hobby, you will lose money or
make hobby type income. Act as if you have one
million dollars invested in your network marketing
business.
19

• Treat it like a business and it will pay your accordingly.
20

# 8 Confusing Busy Work with Productive Work
• Everyone you talk to is busy. I am. So are you. Being
busy will not grow your business. You must learn to
work smart. Spend ALL of your business hours on
income producing activities: retailing and recruiting.
We get paid to talk to people. Everything else you do
is busywork.
21

# 9 Managing Your Team
• What most people in our industry do is sponsor 2 to 5
people and then sit back and try to manage them.
That is a costly mistake. Each person on your team is
their own CEO. Your job is to sign people up, give
them their getting started training, wish them luck,
and then go and sign up more people. You are no
one's employer or boss. It's not your job to motivate
or babysit your team. Lead from the front and work
with the willing.
22

# 10 Using Hype, High-Pressure & Deception
• If you are doing any of those three things, please stop
it immediately. People doing that give our industry a
bad name. There is no reason to ever use hype or
pressure or deception. Be honest with people and
treat everyone as well as you would treat a loved one.
