MLM Leadership-The TRUE COST of Laziness in MLM

MLM Training- The TRUE COST of Your Lack of Action in Network Marketing

By Doug Firebaugh



Expensive.



VERY expensive.



That is what LOA is in the network marketing arena. It can be the most costly thing you ever have seen as far as a potential future, and yet, people seem to ignore the cost of it.



Amazing.



That is what it is.



Amazing.



That people would let this occur and without a single thought or guilt about it. And when the cost of it comes due, all they due is have a pity party.



” Woe is me. I am so unlucky. Look what this MLM business has done to me.”



Yeah right.



INFERNO Secret:



Network marketing will only reflect back to you what you have done for it. It doesn’t do anything to you. It only gives back what you have put in. Nothing more, nothing less.



You have joined a Network Marketing Company, and you are excited and want to tell the world, but then -- something happens.



REALITY.



You must go out and make calls and talk to people, do presentations, follow up, ask for the order, and do three ways as well as train your new people, so you say:



”WAIT A MINUTE! Is there not another way? There HAS TO BE!!!”



Sure. If you want to fail.



And LOA is a direct result of reality setting in and then your fears and doubts show up, and--



WHAMMMOOOOOO!



You are now full blown into the grasps of LOA, and many people don’t even know they are there. They live their entire lives there, and their career in MLM becomes a result of it.



LOA. The cancer in MLM and Network Marketing.



Ok.




What is this thing called LOA and why is it so expensive to you?



Lack Of Action.



One of the biggest reasons that people fail miserably in this business, and the cost of it is staggering if you look at it realistically.



INFERNO Secret:



The most broke and poorest distributor in MLM is the “Permanent Student” who learns all the right things and what to do and say, but never acts on it or engages it.



And they are the ones who scream the loudest that MLM is a scam and it doesn’t work.



No.



They are only scamming themselves to think that knowledge will make them successful in any enterprise, let alone Network Marketing or a Home Business.



INFERNO Secret:



Knowledge will not make you rich--ever. It is how you APPLY the knowledge EFFECTIVELY and CONSISTENTLY that creates wealth in Network Marketing.



Lack of Action is a cost that has interest. As a friend of mine says…



“If you think success is expensive, try paying the bill for failure!”



GREAT QUOTE!



Ok, we understand that LOA is something that is VERY expensive to you and your family.



But what are the true costs of it? If you really think about it, and ponder it, what will it really cost you and your family your lack of action?



There is an exercise I have done all over the world and back, and the impact it amazing at what it does. And it really is a COLD DOSE of reality of what your LOA does cost you. And this exercise is something that is a good downline building tool and can be used in seminars and meetings.



It’s called:



The Top 10 Things I will Never have in My Life due to MY Lack of Action”.



OUCH! That hurts, doesn’t it? If you really think about it, it really does create a fear of loss and a big one sometimes.



Fill out the items below and list the things you will not have due to your LOA in MLM:




1) ______________________________________________



2) ______________________________________________

3 ______________________________________________



4) -_____________________________________________



5) ______________________________________________



6) ______________________________________________



7) _____________________________________________



8) _____________________________________________



9) _____________________________________________



10) ____________________________________________





I realize that this is what my LOA will cost me, and am aware of the future costs as well.



Signed __________________________________________



Date _____________________





So -- what’s it gonna be bubba? (Or bubbette….smile)



May I suggest you NOT ACCEPT the Top 10 Lack in your life and TRUE COST of Lack of Action, and decide to get INTO ACTION and start creating what you want in your life in MLM and Network Marketing!







Blessings...

Hello Doug Firebaugh, I've just been playing Serious Sam 2 before getting down to do some research into network marketing prospecting; on the whole I'd rather continue playing. First place I came to was MLM Leadership-The TRUE COST of Laziness in MLM so I've been having a good time reading your blog. There are some ideas that I could maybe incorporate into network marketing prospecting to make it more useful. Thank you!

Advertising can be a big problem otherwise. A lot of companies reserve a big chunk of their budgets to cover marketing expenditures.

G'day Doug Firebaugh, what a great blog you have here, been entertained by the read. Just noticed that my brief time visiting blogs looking for downline mlm network marketing items has run into a couple of hours. Easily done when you get engrossed in what people write about. I should really use downline mlm network marketing as a search term but then I might miss places such as MLM Leadership-The TRUE COST of Laziness in MLM. Besides which working all the time is boring.

Aloha Doug Firebaugh, I'm in Hawaiian mood as I'm listening to Ki ho'alu music (If you've not heared this type of guitar music then you are in for a treat!) so I'm not really concentrating very hard but I came across MLM Leadership-The TRUE COST of Laziness in MLM looking up gen on network marketing prospecting. Anything to do with network marketing prospecting I always look at, though I do have a tendency to wander about in blogs just reading generally.
