Is Joining The MLM Industry The Smart Thing To Do?

When I remember the past six or seven years, it's funny to think life could be any different than wading through the struggles I've experienced in the MLM profession. What I wanted to do, is rather than just give a blatant promotion to join MLM, give you some insider information AND discuss the positives and negatives of being involved in the Network Marketing industry.

The truth of the matter is that MLM is a great industry to join, and it's a great profession to be a part of if you treat it right. There are some misconceptions, however, that are important to understand if you do decide to join Network Marketing.

First, let me just share with you that I joined the MLM industry part time in 2002, and I had an absolutely miserable experience attempting to be successful at it all the way from 2002-2007. Not only did I not make any money worth mentioning, but I managed to chase away all but a few of my loyal friends and it seemed that I was worth less financially after 5 years of struggle than I was when I joined MLM in the first place.

Taking a look at the surface of my initial experience, most people would think that I would have been better off if I had thrown in the towel and quit for good (In fact, a lot of well intentioned people encouraged me to.) However, looking at my life style now and what I've been able to accomplish proves that it was the right decision to stay in the MLM industry.

Why can I justify joining MLM after 5 years of failure? Let me compare my current situation to USA average income statistics. I never graduated from college. After one year of tuition at UVSC in Orem, Utah, I decided much against the advice of my parents to attack the world as an entrepreneur.

The average household income for someone who's a high school graduate without a college degree in the USA is $25,900 per year. At the same time the average household income for someone with a professional degree is $109,600. Well, I fall in the earlier category, and last month while I'm hesitant to disclose my exact earnings, I can tell you that I make significantly more than someone with a professional degree.

So looking at the numbers, does that mean that you should join MLM? Well, let me tell you the TRUTH how I see it. You might join a Network Marketing company and fail miserably for your first five years AND the statistics show that most people will experience a certain level of failure before they have any kind of significant MLM success story. However, statistics show that for those who stick with one MLM company for 10 years or more, you have a dramatically higher chance of earning a six figure income than almost every profession in the USA. So once again, are you going to treat your business like a professional? Or are you just trying to get rich quick?

Are you thinking of joining an MLM company? Maybe you should read this article before you do, because I'm going to answer the first and most fundamental question of whether it's a good idea to join an MLM company in the first place.
