Does MLM Network Marketing works? My Honest Personal Experience

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.
I always hear really bad comments
about MLM or Network marketing
companies, especially when you tell
your family and friends that you just got into one.
People for some reason have a
very bad impression of what that industry offers.
But is it really that bad?!
Today, I want to share with you
my experience working in this
industry.
The first time MLM Network Marketing industry
knocked on my door
It was back in 2006. I had just
graduated from high school in my
hometown in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
I saw an Ad at the newspaper about
a job opportunity, so I decided to go
for an interview. Once I got at the place,
there were approximately over fifty persons
waiting outside the room already.
They gave me a paper to fill out
with my personal information, and
there was something very curious
about the people working in that place,
ALL OF THEM WERE SMILING ALL THE TIME
Which made me think it was a
positive work environment.
After thirty minutes, they allowed us to get in.
It was a room filled with chairs.
We all sat down, and a guy came out
at the front of the room. The guy was smiling;
he welcomed everyone, telling us that
we came to the right opportunity.
A part of his team sat down between us,
they were cheering and clapping hands
very enthusiastic about everything he was saying.
For me, that was something completely new.
I have never seen a work environment
like that before. Then, they showed a
video about a product, and honestly,
I do not remember for what it was
supposed to be use for.
After a few minutes of the video being played,
some people stood up and left the room,
and I just did the same.
My first MLM Network Marketing Company
I will never forget that day.
It was August of 2009; I remembered
I went to a Colombian Restaurant here
in Miami to watch a soccer game between
Argentina and Brazil.
Both teams were playing a game for
the qualifying to the soccer World Cup of 2010.
I did not have a place where to watch it
so I decided to go there.
I went in, and there was a chair
available next to a person who was
watching the game. He told me I could
sit down and watch the game with him so I did.
We talked for a little bit, about the
soccer game, our families, jobs, etc.
Suddenly, I saw he took a deep breathe
and told me “Diego, I have an opportunity
that can change your live”
I said “Ok, what is it about?”
He asked me for my phone number,
“Well, let’s meet in another day so
I can show you with all my tools”
I said “sure, no problem”
One month later, I did not receive
a single phone call, but I was intrigued.
At that moment in my life, I was 21 years old,
I was working in my full time job, and
taking classes at school, but something
in my mind was telling me that I could
work in something else.
I had a part time job before so I thought that
I could replace that part time job with this.
So I called the guy, and we met in a restaurant.
He started his presentation, and by half way through
my mind said No!
Until he said something that grabbed my attention:
“WITH THIS YOU CAN TALK IN FRONT OF PEOPLE”
I know for almost everybody,
speaking in public is one of the
most terrifying experiences of their life.
But for me, I LOVE TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC,
I had always done it since am a kid,
but I never had the chance to find
something where I was going to be able to do it.
My mom told me one day “I see you
talking in front of big audiences”
so that image came straight to my mind.
He explained to me how you
build the Network, how much they paid, etc.
Three months later, I was in!
I worked in that MLM or Network
Marketing Company as an affiliated
for more than three years, and I have
to say that Unfortunately, I failed.
Even though I failed, I learned so
many things with their educational system
that I have not seen in any other place,
except for other Network Marketing
and Online Marketing companies.
This experience helped me in:
– I realized that in order to be financially free,
I had to stop thinking with an employee mentality
and start thinking as an entrepreneur.
– I had to open my own business if I did not want
to receive orders from someone for the rest of my life.
– I learned that I did not need to work or open a business
the traditional way in order to make money, that nowadays
you can have an international business and work on it
from your home
– I can do it at a low risk cost, earning money from
the beginning even though I was not an expert.
– To keep working towards my goals and dreams
every single day.
– I became fully aware that the TV and other activities
just waste my time. Now, I pretty much do not
watch TV at all, and I watch videos that educate me.
Can be either to open my consciousness or about my
Online Marketing business.
– I did talk in front of audiences which allowed me
to master the way I speak in public.
– I acquire knowledge on that most of the products
in the future will move through the MLM or
Network Marketing Industry.
– I was able to travel to different cities, attend big events,
and see that a lot of people around the globe are tired of
working at the traditional way.
– I listened to financially free leaders who share with me
their experience and knowledge, which had helped me to
overcome several circumstances I had in my life.
And I do believe that this type
of valuable information is not given
in public schools, Colleges, Universities,
Traditional Businesses, and regular talks
with friends and family.
To conclude, my advice will be
that if someone shows you a
Network Marketing opportunity,
and it attracts you, and you see
yourself doing it, GO FOR IT!
Give it a try! Think of this new door
that is opening to you. If you keep
doing the same things every single day,
do not expect a different result.
You have absolutely nothing to lose.
Remember, if you fail, you will just go
back to the same place you were. Do it!
Well, that’s all! I wish the best in
your decision, and see you at the Top!
Thank You!
