I Recovered From My Bias About Home Business as a Valid Business Model Once I Realized I Could Advertise Over the Internet

I recovered from my bias about MLM as a valid business model once I realized I could advertise online and guide people to a compelling presentation. People would buy, and they may as well be buying from me.

I’ll never forget when it hit me. My wife had crawled in the door. She just had the sortof day that makes you want to throw a stapler at your boss and quit your job. In my infinite wisdom I told her I would solve her problem by consulting Google. They rarely let me down!

I searched “work at home”!

After several weeks of research I tossed the dice. It cost me about $800 on the credit card at the time.

What I really liked about the online MLM business I chose was you could work at home and you wouldn’t have to tell your friends until the money was already piling up.

Once I finally mustered the nerve to tell my wife, she said, “You better earn your money back and quit”. God love her. Why would I quit if I can earn my money back?

I did earn my money back and more. I even enjoyed 5 figure months. You should have heard the guy at the bank telling me I needed to stop bringing in $6,000.00 checks and start only accepting wire transfers. That was a totally cool day.

There was a down side. Advertising for MLM that would move an $8,000.00 + product did not come cheap. Eventually I was spending $1,500 on advertising into the new MLM business of every member I brought on board. I thought that this would jump start them.

The advertising I was doing rocketed me into the top 20 reps listed at the company with in my first 3 months in the MLM industry. I figured that should really help people blast off to success since it worked so well for me.

Well, they sucked at it. I felt responsible. It turned out that I needed to provide my team with more than just responsive marketing if I was going to ensure their success in MLM.

However, I did recognize the value surrounding me – the people I was in business with. I saw how I could place an almost corporate structure around my home business team.
The, Occupy the City, work at home Solution.

There are many tasks involved in running a MLM business. There are things not everyone enjoys about the MLM industry. Different people excel at different tasks. Some of my team was stronger in areas I was less inclined to enjoy and vice versa.

When you assign work according to individual strengths your overall productivity increases. It had been right in front of me the whole time.

At Occupy the City we spend our time with business people that have a huge drive for success. This is exactly the type of MLM business owner that will make you successful. More of them come to us every day with a desire to be a part of something so timely, and forward thinking.

Professionally managed marketing + automated training+ personal support + strength based task assignment + a community effort = one heck of a team based, automated marketing system, Occupy the City.
