Fundamentals Make You Successful
In the world of sports, all successful sports teams and the successful athletes that make up those teams are successful because of the fundamentals that they practice each and every day of the year.
An MLM distributor’s success is no different.
Perhaps you have the same experiences online that I have, in that it seems like everyone is promoting the latest secret to do this and the hidden secret behind that.
If the truth may be told, the reason that top earners in MLM/Network Marketing make six, seven, eight plus figures a year is because of the fundamentals they practice each day and not some hidden secret.
No don’t get me wrong, there is information out there that could be considered “secret” to the masses, however, once analysed, that information usually is a fundamental step in business development.
The one thing that I have learned in the 25 years that I have been part of the MLM/Network Marketing industry, fundamentals are what will drive your success whether your building your business online or traditionally.
So the formula for an MLM Distributors success is simple, yet not easy to achieve. The formula is as follows:
MLM Distributors Success = the Universal Laws of Attraction + the Law of Averages
Let us explore each of these two areas.
The Universal Laws of Attraction
The Law of Attraction as most of us know by now has been around for hundreds of years and was first published in 1879 by the New York Times.
In 1937, Napoleon Hill published his book entitled, Think and Grow Rich. Throughout the book he talks about the concept of controlling your own thoughts, as well as, the “energy” that thoughts create and their ability through this energy to attract other thoughts. I am of the opinion that what Napoleon Hill was referring to the “law of attraction” when he explained this energy of thoughts.
In 2006, the Law of Attraction became popular to the masses through Rhonda Byrne’s, “The Secret”, but became truly practical to the MLM/Network Marketing community through Mike Dillard’s, “Magnetic Sponsoring” course.
“Essentially, we are hard-wired to find other people attractive or unattractive based on the level of value they have to offer, because we gain a portion of their power/value through association.” – Mike Dillard in Magnetic Sponsoring
There have been many definitions attached to this law, but quite simply put; your thoughts coupled with your consistent actions will determine who you are and what you become. These are the type of people you will attract into your life and business.
The Law of Averages
The law of averages is a natural law and not just a term used in the science of statistics. In the MLM/Network Marketing profession, the law of averages is the law that determines the number of times a presentation is seen is in direct proportion to the number of times that that presentation is shown. In other words, the number of times a prospect becomes a distributor is in direct proportion to the number of times a business opportunity is shown to potential prospects.
So let us get back to the original formula for an MLM distributors success.
If one controls their thoughts on a daily basis and takes actions that reflects those thoughts the end result will be that you become what you have been thinking about.
Now that you have become what you are thinking about, your consistent thoughts and actions will attract the type of people who perceive value in what you have to offer.
If you attract enough people through the use of adopting the law of averages as discussed above, the end result will be a successful MLM distributor.
The MLM distributors success formula has been used by all of the top earners in MLM/Network Marketing. If you would like to know more about how the law of attraction and/or the law of averages can help you build your business, fill out the form below with your name, email and phone number.
MLM Distributors Don’t Need to Fake it Until They Make It

Don't Fake it Until You Make It!
MLM distributors back when I began my MLM career in the mid 1980’s were told by their up line that in order to look successful to potential prospects they should “fake it until I make it.” I was among those MLM distributors that received this “sage” advice.
Now over the years I received a lot of advice on how to build my MLM business, some of it was absolutely life changing and some of it was downright horrible.
The advice I received about “faking it” was among some of the worst advice I have ever received.
MLM distributors are told the first action step to building your MLM business was to develop a written names list. Building your MLM business is driven solely by word of mouth, period. No advertising, no commercials, no banners ads, no flyers; building your MLM business is about one person talking to another person. Sadly a number of MLM businesses are still being run like this today.
So MLM distributors would take out a clean sheet of paper and begin to make a list of people that they know, like family, friends and co-workers etc.
So let us look back on the original sage advice about “fake it until you make it.” An MLM distributor is armed with two pieces of information at this point, a list of his family, friends and co-workers and the sage advice of being dishonest with the people that know them the best!
Is it any wonder that this “technique” was doomed from the beginning?
Throughout the 70’s, 80’ and most of the 1990’s our industry was given a black eye by people that took this advice and took it to a whole new level.
Most people in the industry took this advice and bought things that they couldn’t afford so that they would look more successful, such as, clothes, cars and in some cases homes. Even though these MLM distributors were not making any money, they were trying to show their down line that they were through the “fake it until you make it” strategy.
Solution: As an MLM Distributor, choose positioning over “faking it” to build your MLM business.
The best way to position you as an MLM distributor with integrity is to “Master” the skills necessary to build your MLM business.
So what does it mean to “master” the skills necessary to build your MLM business?
First of all choose the number one thing that if you mastered it, your business would thrive.
So let us take for example lead generation. The best way to position you as an expert MLM distributor with integrity is to choose a lead generation strategy and work at it until you become very successful at it.
Then you are in a position as an MLM distributor to be referred to as an expert in that skill. Now you can make honest claims and people will want to work with you as a leader.
Now I am not going to tell you that are going to be easy to become an expert on a particular skill, because it will take some dedicated time and effort.
