Yummy…. Meat Glue
Chances are, you’ve not only eaten meat glue, but you eat it regularly. And you didn’t even know it.
You won’t find it on a menu, but if you eat out at restaurants, you most likely have been served it.
You probably liked it too. I bet you told the waiter it was tasty.
What is Meat Glue?
Take low quality or small scraps of meat, mix in a powder that “glues” is together, slice it into nice, thick fillets and slap it on the grill. Out comes a juicy (expensive) steak… and YOU didn’t know any better!
It’s called “Transglutaminase”, and the video will tell you more about what (i.e., how gross) it is. Watch, then I’ll tell you what the heck Meat Glue has to do with making money in your network marketing business…
Meat Glue and Network Marketing?
No… no one is launching a new meat glue MLM (that I know of!).
But there are two things that we can learn here from this story, besides that we are being fed disgusting stuff.
#1. Things aren’t always as they seem.
There is, frankly, a lot of deception out there, and you have to be careful.
It’s easier to not care. It’s easier to jump into things without doing research. It easy to just order that steak and not give a damn what’s in it.
But in the end, it matters.
And likewise, in a network marketing business, it can make all the difference between success and failure.
How?
Because there is just too much deception out there. I know you know what I’m talking about. It’s rampant (although somewhat innocent) in the network marketing business. The companies tell us we can do it. That it’s achievable.
Your upline believes it. Your sponsor believes it.
Just work hard. Talk to everyone. Invite strangers to your house. Do it every day for 2-4 years and you’ll have success. You can be a “Gold” or a “3 Star” or a… whatever they call it, and if you get to a couple thousand dollars a month you’ll be considered a super hero.
So your steak isn’t the only thing full of bull…
We’ve all been fed this same old false hope.
So, you’ve got to do your homework. You’ve got to be able to filter out the truth from the fiction.
Demand proof. Proof that YOU can do it. That others LIKE you have done it. Pay attention.
Here is just that kind of proof.
#2. Demand quality.
Yes, in what’s on your plate, but also in your business choices.
Demand value and provide value.
Don’t pay for something you’re not getting. Spend your money on value. Listen only to experts that truly can and will help you in your business, and can prove that they have succeeded not only personally, but succeeded in helping others do it to.
Lots of people talk. Very few can actually prove that they’ve actually helped others do it.
These people actually do it. Here is proof.
Invest in your education, quality education, by these very same people. Learn what they have to teach you.
Invest in systems. Not over the top promises that really make no sense. But again (see the theme here yet??) proven systems.
Not gambles, not get rich quick crap, not promises that you can do nothing and make millions. That’s just more bull stuck together with more meat glue!
A proven system. Here is the proof.
Then, take what you’ve learned and provide that value to others. Real value. Real quality.
Just Say “No” to the Meat Glue in Your Network Marketing Business
So beyond just filling you in on something that we all need to be aware of, this is really about you demanding more in your business, and more out of your life. To make it a real business and to get the success and freedom you want.
Not just a pile of scraps and some MLM version of Meat Glue.
Ready for some real, no bull, proven solutions for your network marketing struggles? Here is the answer, INCLUDING the proof.
