It seems as though 95-97% of people who get involved in network marketing end up failing. The people who actually make money are at the top of the pyramid so to speak the founders, owners of the company and the people who got in early and were positioned at the top of the hierarchy. But yet the people who fail miserably continue sticking with it posting inspirational quotes to try and inspire themselves and others to keep going ,even though in reality they are never going to be successful or at least not to the point that they can quit their day jobs and do it full time. This to me fits in with Einstein’s theory of insanity doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results. It’s practically mandatory to go outside of your primary business and create side ventures in lead generation so that hopefully you can get some halfway decent leads who may or may not join your primary business but hopefully (it’s a crap shoot) you can make money from anyway through the lead generation venture or whatever you have going on, on the side. I have witnessed alot of lying and deception first hand. It’s like companies try and condition their reps to be manipulative cult leader types who pray on the desperation of others in order to bring them in and mold them to continue doing the same. Alot of people “fake it until they make it.” in other words they pretend that they are successful and earning a full time living by selling the companies products/services, recruiting/training reps but if you call them for any reason they aren’t home because they are “at work.”
