False Expectations....A Network Marketing Nightmare

One of the ultimate destroyers of a profitable business before it ever gets the chance to be profitable is false expectations.

A lot of times in this industry people are sold on hype. "All you have to do is get 4 people who get 4 people and your rich!" Yea…right.

When a person enters a business with false expectations of the amount of work network marketing takes, and what type of income you can realistically expect in your first year, it's not hard to see why most people quit so soon.

Once they see their expectations not being met, they either assume they are a failure, or network marketing is a scam.

When in reality, neither are true. What happened was a lack of REAL education that could have prevented this all too common scenario from happening in the first place.

A real and accurate expectation in network marketing is to give it at least 3-5 solid years of work before you expect it to start really paying off. Personally, I tell people a reasonable expectation is between $500-$1000 per month by the end of your first year.

If you don't understand the concept of working harder today to be paid a lot more while working less tomorrow….then network marketing is not for you.

In the beginning, you are grossly underpaid, and on the back end you are grossly over paid. If you don't fill yourself with outrageous expectations, it makes it A LOT easier to just calmly do the amount of work it takes, day after day, to really build a long term residual income from network marketing.
