Network Marketing Business - You MUST Get Out of the Box to Be Successful

One of the biggest challenges in building a successful Network Marketing business is the frustration of sponsoring someone only to have them never produce any business and then quit. You know how it works. You just sponsored a "winner" and you just know this is THE person...this is the one...they are going to make you rich. Heck...they are so successful in their life...they just can't help but be successful in their Network Marketing business. At last your ship has come in. You go to bed counting dollar bills instead of sheep but 90-days later they quit without doing a single piece of business.

What happened? For the first time ever you are about to learn the real reason they failed.

Our forefathers were "Hunters and Gatherers", then became "Farmers" and then came the Industrial Revolution and with it the "Industrial Age". Today it's the "Information Age" but...and this is VERY important...regardless of your age, you and those you sponsor have been so greatly influenced by the Industrial Revolution that it keeps you from building a successful Network Marketing business and it's what caused your "can't miss" distributor to quit!

Let me explain... Studies suggest that 84% of all Americans require a "well-defined structured environment" in order to succeed at anything they do! Only 2% need no direction and 14% need some direction. This requirement came about as a result of the Industrial Revolution...it's the way they have been taught to work and it's all they know. They need a strict "step by step" environment in order to perform! Previously everyone was a self-sufficient entrepreneur...that or you didn't eat! People were forced by their circumstances to be self-sufficient. If you wanted to live you had to hunt and fish and later on you farmed. There were few other options. You simply had to determine on a daily basis...day after day...how you were going to survive. Life was simple...you either managed your time, learned "life skills" and practiced a few simple disciplines or you died. In short...there was no one to tell you what to do, when to do it or even how to do it.

You just did it!

Then came the Industrial Revolution.

Life became more structured. Someone else began telling us what to do, when to do it and exactly how to do it. No longer were we required to manage our time (someone else told us what time to be at work, take breaks, take our lunch and when to go home)! We were even told what to wear! Everyone was put in a "box" (office, cubicle or machine) and we learned only enough to get the job done. We lost our "will"...survival was no longer an issue. Now it was how to keep the boss happy, what we would do on the weekend and how many weeks of vacations we got.

The Industrial Revolution destroyed our self-sufficiency, our self-reliance and self-esteem. We were taught to "check our brain at the coat rack"! Now...when faced with building a Network Marketing business that DEMANDS time management skills, being self-sufficient, handling rejection, self-discipline, setting personal work schedules, deciding what they will do and not do, how they will do it and setting goals and actually meeting them...THEY CAN'T DO IT! They simply are not prepared. They are locked in their Industrial Revolution box and they need a key to get out..

So it's no wonder your "dream team" member caused you nightmares. He simply can't perform in an unstructured environment so he had to quit. Of course he will blame it on everything else other than himself...but you now know the truth...he couldn't build a successful Network Marketing business because...

He simply couldn't get out of their Industrial Age box!
