Realistic Expectations Within Multi-Level Marketing

So hopefully you have been looking around and making strong decisive decisions in regards to which Multi-level marketing company you are going to join and have realistic expectations for your new venture.

Too many people come into the business with unrealistic expectations and this is quite detrimental to your success and your longevity within the business model. If you are going to succeed you need to set realistic expectations from the start.

Let's take a look at a few major expectations you need to put into perspective from the start

1. You need to know it usually takes 90 days of consistent activity to see a result

2. Have you been pitched into the business or is this something you really think you can commit to?

3. How much money are you going to make in your first year?

4. Do you have the skill set to match your income goals?

5. Do you have the time to commit to the business?

As you can see there are an abundance of questions you need to ask yourself from the start to make sure you have realistic expectations. These will not only help with you sticking to your business and not feeling dejected or a failure but you will start off on the right foot and know what it is you are trying to achieve and accomplish in a realistic time frame.

There is far too much hype in the industry and I truly believe this is a contributing factor to a substantial number of new recruits failing. They will see a testimonial of someone successful who is making substantial amounts of money and who achieved their success rather quickly. This literally goes back to my previous article on the 80/20 rule. Don't get me wrong there is always the potential to make large sums of money quickly but unfortunately this will only apply to 20% of people who are recruited. So if you think you are the exception and not the rule this may happen for you, but I put my money on having realistic expectations because the majority of the population are not the exception to the rule.

Starting off on your new career deserves the time for you to make rational sensible decisions. It will save you and your new mentor a whole bunch of time if you are placed on the right page from the start. So keep a cool head and take the time to answer the questions above, you will see the benefit..
