Despite what many network marketers would love for you to believe MLM really isn’t for everyone. I believe that anyone who really has the passion and desire can make money in a home based business regardless of their background, education level or their personality. However, not everyone has what it takes to build their own business from home. This article is dedicated to anyone who isn’t sure if network marketing is right for them. If you’re sitting on the fence hopefully this article will help you decide.

One of the biggest things that makes someone not right for MLM is if they can’t get out of an employee mindset. Network marketing isn’t like having a job it’s starting a business. You will be the CEO of your very own business. If you’re not ready to be your own boss and really take pride and ownership in your new business then network marketing is not right for you.

You will not have a boss looking over your shoulder, you won’t have deadlines (except the ones you make for yourself) and you won’t have a schedule that’s set in stone. For many people that can be very liberating however, for some it can be a problem. So if that doesn’t sound like something you’d like network marketing might not be right for you.

Also, if you’re the type of person who has trouble motivating themselves you might not be right for network marketing. A business owner has to have vision and passion and most importantly motivation. You don’t have a boss to MAKE you work so if you aren’t a self starter then MLM might not be best for you.

Finally, you have to be the type of person who doesn’t mind being outside the box. A network marketing company isn’t like any other job. People are going to look at you like you’re crazy sometimes but that’s just something you’ll have to learn to get over. There is nothing traditional or average about network marketing so if you’re not ok with that then a home based business is probably not right for you.

I hope this article helped you to figure out if network marketing is going to be a good fit for you.

Oh I did forget one last thing. A network marketer has to really, really like making lots of money. But I’m pretty sure you’ll be cool with that!
