You have heard the hype. "All you have to do is get 3 people who get 3 people and you will make a million dollars in 5 seconds!" Give me a break!

This is one of the ultimate killers of any momentum in a profitable MLM business, and unfortunately all too common! People get sold on the hype that this is a lottery ticket.

Once their expectations (c'mon 5 seconds have passed and I'm still not filthy rich!) are not being met, they will assume one of two things:

A) That they are an utter failure or this company just isn't what it was cracked up to be

B) Networking Marketing is a complete scam.

What you don't hear in any of the company pitches or opportunity presentations is the actual true expectations for building a Network Marketing business. I tell people that it can take 3-5 years of solid, good work before you expect it to start really paying off.

Even at 21 years of age, when I got started in Network Marketing, nobody ever told me it would take me that long, but I know I had to commit a few solid years before giving up. (Luckily it didn't take me THAT long to make a decent living)

One of the hardest concepts to grasp about Network Marketing is that the action you create today will not pay you right away. And probably not even tomorrow. The harder you work today, it'll pay you more by having to work a lot less in the future.

If you don't understand or appreciate this concept of residual and true time freedom and sacrifice = Network Marketing probably isn't for you.

In the beginning, you will be grossly underpaid. If you calculated your hourly wage, you may in fact feel like this is not worth it. Resist that temptation to quick. Do not fill yourself with ridiculous expectations. Calmly do what it takes, stay focused, stay committed, and you will really build long term wealth within Network Marketing!
