Now what if I showed you how you can earn the respect of your friends, family, and colleagues who might think network marketing is beneath you and/or a scam?

Would that be cool?

You will be proud to be in the network marketing profession!

I’m going to share a few possible solutions you can use if you’re suffering from embarrassment, or if you don’t want certain people in your life to know that you’re involved in one of those “MLM things.”

Luckily there are some very tangible and specific things that you can do to legitimize your business in the eyes of those around you, and ultimately, even in the eyes of everyone in our society.

But first, I want to take you through my journey and show you how I earned the respect of those who absolutely hated and crapped all over my business.

If you don’t know my story, I was a highly respected psychologist for over 35 years.  I worked with children from ages of 3 years to 18 years.  I worked with juvenile delinquents, gang-bangers, children with severe disabilities, as well as with highly gifted students with great success.  I got many accolades from the people I worked with.

I was also a trainer of teachers, and a professor at some of the local universities.  In short, I was a well-known professional and upstanding citizen of my community.  In fact, I was also a member of the local Rotary Club which consisted of the “who’s who” in the community.

On the outside, it seemed like I had it made.

But that wasn’t the case.

I was miserable!

Can you relate to expectations not matching reality?

If you do everything “right,” your life is supposed to be set, right!?

People thought the world was my oyster, and I honestly couldn’t go any further from a prestige standpoint.

But I wasn’t happy, so I did something about it and joined a network marketing opportunity.

It was the ONLY thing anyone ever offered me to take me out of my “cubicle slave” situation, which I absolutely did not enjoy.

And there’s a really good chance you can relate to how this move was received by the people I cared for the most…

I got a lot of grief from my family

Which manifested in conversations that sounded an awful lot like this…

“What are you doing? Why are you selling vitamins? You’re a psychologist why are you doing this? You make good money and you’re giving that up for…this?”

But that’s not all, I also had the privilege of getting flack from some of the most brilliant people in the world via my association with my administrators and leaders in the community.

So there I was, getting crapped on by some of the people I most respected!

It was hard to refute their arguments, because they are extremely intelligent people, and they know how to argue.

So that’s what I had to overcome from a belief standpoint.

I wish I knew then what I know now…

Over the past 10 years in this profession, I’ve met people who are former corporate executives, former small business owners, former medical scientists, former engineers, former pilots — just to name a few – who are all involved in network marketing.

Which shouldn’t come as a surprise, honestly; it’s not like in network marketing we only have people that can’t get a “real” job or are uneducated.

No, we have many educated, sophisticated, and successful people already in this industry.

They obviously were are not happy with what they were doing, and they started looking for something their current professions couldn’t provide.

Case in point, I recently attended a workshop in Las Vegas, with my friends Masa Cemazar and Miguel Montero, the “Pyjama Bosses.”

Masa has a PhD in medical science and was working in a lab doing incredible things as a geneticist.

Miguel was a commercial airline pilot.

These people left highly-respected, six-figure careers to join network marketing.

And you know what?

It’s pretty awesome to see such professionals, who have already earned the respect of their peers, joining the industry and getting to be successful in network marketing.

Now let’s dive into my three-step process for dealing with the negativity from the people around you.

Starting with…

This is the ONLY thing I’ll discuss that’s in alignment with what most top earners in this industry teach regarding how to deal with negativity.

And you’ve probably heard all this before…

You must fortify your mindset. You must believe this can work for you…not that it can work, not that can work for some, not that it can work for others, but that it can work for YOU!

Well, it’s true.

You won’t follow through on projects you don’t believe in, because everyone quits when they don’t believe they can actually do something.

Think of something BIG you’ve accomplished in your life—like going to school, attaining higher degrees, ambitious projects at work, or running a marathon.

You were able to achieve, because you believed

Even though it was difficult, even though it was challenging, even though it was daunting, you accomplished it.

Basically, you committed to the fact that you could do it, and then you figured out “how” along the way.

And so, I absolutely agree you have to fortify your mindset and believe your network marketing opportunity is the real deal.

If you have any doubts, or you think…

“Well, I don’t know if people will buy my products, because they’re kind of expensive.”

…then you just killed your business.

If you have any doubts about your abilities, or your compensation plan…

…then you won’t get far.

If you see people around you and you think…

“People were successful before, but, I don’t see a lot of people successful in my company now.”

…then you just sealed the deal on your future, as it relates to that business.

Which isn’t to say that every company is the same.

Sometimes these concerns are legitimate, but regardless, the result is the same…

You’re categorically sabotaging your success by having these doubts going through your mind.

Next…

You’ve got to be honest and realistic about what happens in the network marketing space—because it ain’t always pretty!

You’ve probably observed some shady practices in network marketing, and look, sometimes you’re going to run into situations like that.

Pyramid schemes and slimy business practices are real in this market, as they are in any profession.

Look at Wall Street or real estate; people do unethical things ALL the time in those industries.

Yet it doesn’t make those industries illegitimate or illegal.

So we must be real and honest about what’s wrong in our space.

This is where I don’t agree with the “orthodoxy” of network marketing

Most leaders will condition you to label anyone with negative comments as “haters” or losers.

The same goes for society-at-large’s negative view of our profession as a whole—you’re conditioned to label nearly everyone as negative people who don’t “get it,” and to push them aside.

I completely disagree with this strategy.

Because I think it’s ignoring a REAL problem, and I prefer to view the negativity as a symptom of what we’re doing wrong as an industry, or what we can do better in our profession.

Look, the reason people view our space in a negative light is because somebody, at some point in the history of network marketing, did something frankly stupid that created a ripple effect—that’s the bottom line.

My stance is simple…

The network marketing profession needs to take responsibility for how it’s viewed by society

That’s the only way anything will change.

And the way I intend to take responsibility and do something about our poor image is to teach REAL business practices, which will actually help to legitimize this profession.

Because when you legitimize how you operate, and operate like a real business, you not only are being realistic, you’re also going to fortify your mindset and get on the right track to elevate your friend’s and family’s opinion of your business.

Which brings me to step number three, which I feel is the most important…

The reason I built my business online using using “21st century tactics,” like social media, is because it legitimizes this profession.

The “old-school” methods of approaching everyone you know to try to get them into your business is NOT how a real business operates ─that’s NOT how you get to be successful in network marketing.

Allow me to repeat myself…

Approaching strangers, or people in a social setting, with a hidden agenda to get them into your business, is not how a real business operates!

That’s a fact.

Real businesses don’t do that.

Real businesses actually market and advertise their services!

And provide real solutions that help people solve their problems.

Makes sense, right?

So what does that mean?

Well, first and foremost, there’s a mindset component.

If you don’t have a real solution for people and the problems they’re experiencing in their lives, then they’re not going to be interested.

But if you do have something that helps people solve a problem that’s actually happening in their life, then they will likely be interested.

Whether it’s weight loss, health and wellness, fitness, financial planning and investing, insurance, beauty and longevity—whatever!

They key is attract the right people who are already interested in solutions like what you offer, so you’re not trying to… as the saying goes… sell steak to a vegetarian.

If this sounds daunting, don’t worry—I’m going to make it real simple.

Here’s all I did to start…

After meeting some mentors, they pointed me to a simple one page website (which I didn’t need to code) to attract & collect the contact information of new prospects who specifically requested more information about what I offered.

They showed me how to promote it to the right people, and leads started flowing in!

I never had to talk to friends, family or strangers about my opportunity, if I didn’t want to anymore!

Imagine the power of that!

I learned how to market to people who would be interested in what you have instead of people who hate the industry! I built my business like real businesses do. Yes, I had to learn new skill sets, and I had to learn “attraction marketing.”  This made the biggest difference in the world!

When you are able to start making money in your business without doing “old school” strategies and put the “marketing” back into network marketing, the people around you will begin to respect you and some may become interested, because you’re now building in a way that seems appealing and making money to boot!

Start using digital marketing strategies
