Leaving Job to Start a Network Marketing Company

Hello everyone,

So I'm leaving my job as an Air Force Research Analyst to focus all my time and energy on a network marketing company. While this venture will undoubtedly be difficult, if I can focus a full-time effort on what is expected to be a part-time one, success will come more rapidly. I also have enough passive income already from my real estate portfolio and other business ventures to allow myself to live and conduct my business freely.

Unfortunately, for this particular network marketing venture, there is no representation in my local area. I'm basically going to start it here and be the focal point in the future. This makes it much more difficult, but the rewards are potentially even greater.

The reason I post this here is because all of this is in pursuit of being able to garner large sums of money for down payments on very large properties in the future. Not to mention, all of the richest real estate owners and other business owners (or many, many of them anyway!) have done and do network marketing.

Any advice or thoughts?

    I recommend getting professional sales training in order for you to train and manage a sales/marketing team. Network marketing is recruiting, training, and managing a team, so that is the skillset that you must have and develop. Best of luck.

    Network marketing can be a great business depending on the company and the product.

    It is definitely a contact sport and a sorting game. You have to get very comfortable looking for no’s to get to the yes’s. 

     You definitely need to approach it the right way in order to be successful. You don’t want to sell. You  want to serve. Selling is serving, asking questions and understanding others.

     The fact that you are the only one in your town is a positive not a negative. Often times the people that make the most money in network marketing are the first ones in an area.

    You were going to need to develop serious focus and consistent action every single day to be successful but again I can’t emphasize enough that the product and company need to be stellar and you need to be using the products / services yourself, believe in them and sincerely care about the people you are looking to recruit and serve.

    Thank you @Greg Dickerson. So very true, and I am grateful that you understand the merits of such a venture. So far I have experienced the many no's that will be commonplace in my attempt to serve those who genuinely desire to grow a business with fruitful, lasting success.

    I have resolved myself to accept that, even if I never receive a yes, even after 10,000 messages conveyed to prospective individuals, I will accept that I put in every effort, and let it not be said that I did nothing. Even if I do not succeed at the venture (and I will), I have already learned so much about human psychology, big business mindset, and much more. It has been a humongous net win for me, and once more I am tremendously grateful.

    Thank you my friend!
