5. And this brings us to the most important part-- Treat your MLM business as a real business.

Sorry, but there is no easy way to make money. You actually have to work at it and invest in your business. But if you do, the odds of success are in your favor.

Learn as much as you can about your business. Use the products. Use your company's marketing tools and videos. Use 3 way calls with your upline. Read books on success.

Find a mentor in the business and learn what that person is doing to succeed.

Plan for success. Write mission and vision statements. Put together a simple business plan. And work it!

6. Talk to people.

You can't get around it. To be a success in network marketing you have to tell others about the business. The Internet, events or other advertising can be used as good tools to help you find people to talk to, but in the end you have to reach them one on one, either in person or on the phone.

7. Care about others and teach them to do what you do.

Listen to people. Find out what their goals and expectations are and help those people meet them, as best you can.

This isn't a numbers game it's a people business. Those who succeed care about others and put time and energy into them. People can always tell if someone is just interested in making money and not people. If you are a caring person, this is the business for you. If you are not, you better learn to become one.

8. Believe in and support the network marketing industry.

Do you have a friend who's totally sold on another company? Or is there a company with products that you like, but you don't want to work it as a career. It's OK to sign up as a customer and support them. (And maybe you can talk that distributor into doing the same for your company and products as well.) But be honest with them and let them know you are just a customer.

**Important-- don't get distracted with trying to work several MLM businesses! That almost never works! Concentrate you efforts and energy into only one business.** (See #4- Commitment.) If you get distracted easily, then skip this rule and stick with your company alone.

So, the moral of this story is that success in network marketing (MLM) is a choice. It's true that it is not for everyone. But if you really want it, you can choose to succeed at it!

I can do that. How about you?
