Hello all.
I love reading the posts, and seeing how people cope after an MLM
experience. I too was caught up in the "pie in the sky empty
promises." You know, it all basically came down to the money. How much
you were supposed to have made, how rich you are going to be, etc. For
a long time I felt duped. I felt like I was going to go nowhere in
life because I did not make diamond, or national director, you get the
idea.
I have not been in an MLM for over ten years, but I do think about it
from time to time. Sometimes I do miss the meetings, the people, the
recruiting. Then I remember that being in an MLM was nothing more than
a waste of time and money, money that I did not have to spend in the
first place. I got nothing from the MLM's I was in except empty promises.
But, when I think about it, there was something I got. I learned how
to have confidence in myself. I learned success principles that no job
ever taught me. Believe me I read all the books, like Og Mandino, Les
Brown, Brian Tracy,Maxwell Maltz, Shad Helmstetter, Zig Ziglar. I
listened to the tapes that Dale Calvert made. I realized that even
though I never made it in network marketing, I could apply the success
principles in my current job and in my life.
I guess what I am trying to say is that my days as a distributor in
New Image were the best times because I learned so much about myself.
I may of not made any money, but I think the learning experience
itself was worth it. Since I had started applying the success
principles and concepts to my job and my life, things have been alot
better than they were before. I realized that it is not the money, it
is how you live your life. Success is living your life towards worthy
goals, not working an MLM.
I may not be a rich man, but I'm working on it. When I go into
business again, I'll most likely sell merchandise at the flea market
and online. I'll make some money, invest and save wisely. I guess that
what I am trying to say is use your MLM experience positively. I know
that for some of you, your MLM experience was a very expensive one,
much more than I lost. But it does not have to shadow you for the rest
of your life. The past does not have to equal the future.
Good luck to all of you and may God bless you all and your endeavors.
Till next time,
P.Watkins
