One fact that very few know or expect is the "stall" mode. As your organization grows, you will experience what many call a "slow-down". In fact, it can actually stop and go backwards for a while! All marketers experience it. It is crucial that you persist in your marketing efforts because once you've moved through this "slow down" you will experience the true value of the Network Marketing paradigm. As you continue your efforts you are continuing to learn - which is also very crucial for any business. After all, knowledge is power.
Have you ever tried to push a stalled car? It takes a lot of continuous effort to get it moving, but not nearly as much to keep it moving. Network Marketing is very similar. Once you've pushed it over the crest, it starts to gain momentum on its own, so much so, it's very difficult to stop, if not impossible. It is possible to move your group through this period and into a sustained growth phase such that your sales organization continues to grow, regardless of what you do.
To accomplish this you have to hit the ground running once you've made your decision to take advantage of the opportunity Network Marketing has to offer. You have to push, give it all you've got until you crest that hill and your group starts to experience sustained growth on its own. It requires selling your products and referring as many people as possible until you find the ones who will duplicate your efforts and become leaders. Network Marketing is all about leadership. Once you find those who will inspire and lead in your organization, the momentum will become impossible to stop.
Now you should have a good grasp MLM / Network Marketing and the power of Residual income. Good Luck!
