What are the Odds?

Another Network Marketing Question I get all the time is this; "What are
the odds that I will make it?" or "Why do only a small percentage of people make
"real" money in Network Marketing?"
There are three things we need to understand for us to answer the "odds"
question:
1. Most people that join us don't do anything. (Sorry, if you want a free
ride this is the wrong industry for you... Buy a lottery ticket! And those of
you in the industry that sell this as "something for nothing" need to stop it
or get out.)
2. Not everyone who joins us wants to make millions a year. (Some want free
products, some want to make hundreds a month & some want to make
thousands)
3. Its really just a math equation. (In my company, someone with 100
people on their team will make around 50K a year. The math on that would show that only 1% of the distributors make a
thousand a week, but that's not really the WHOLE truth...Most of the hundred are just consumers, some of the hundred are getting
their product for free, some are making hundreds a week, and there are a handful
of builders who are well on the way to having a hundred people on their
team.)
Here is another way to look at it...
I am a member of a large fitness club in Southern California. While there
are over 10,000 paying members at my club, at any given time there are only a
hundred or so people actually working out. Of those 100, only a handful look
like they could be featured in a fitness magazine.
So here is the BIG question... What are the odds that a NEW member can
become one of the "chiseled" few? ( And timing, positioning, and who you know
have nothing to do with it!)
Actually, the real question is this... "What are the odds that the new
member will DO what it takes to become one of the FEW?"
* The majority of the members who aren't in the gym will have absolutely NO
change and therefore will have no return on their money. (in our industry
you will at least get great products)
* As long as they stay consistent, the people working out in the gym will
change based on their effort and goals. ( More effort = More results )
* The few who make it a priority in their life, stay focused on their
goals, & give it ALL they have will see the biggest change. (This is where
champions are made!)
Anyone CAN, but few will DO...
And that my friends... Is our business!
