Let’s face it, a lot of people just hate MLM! Call it what you want, a home based business, MLM, direct sales or network marketing…. There are some people who just hate it all. I’m sure if you think about it you can even think of some family members that hate MLM right? Like your dad or your uncle Fred or your cousin Larry. Well let me tell you why uncle Fred hates MLM and why you really shouldn’t care at all!

He Gave Up Too Quickly - How can anyone really expect to make a ton of money from home in a week, a month or even 6 months!? The truth is that network marketing is a BUSINESS and just like any other type of business it’s going to take time to grow. So many people give MLM a “try” for a month or two and then give up. We’re pretty sure Microsoft or IBM weren’t built in just a month!

He Was Involved In A Bad Company - As great as the network marketing industry is there are some bad companies out there. Uncle Fred may have just been involved in a bad business. I understand being upset about it but you to understand that one bad apple in the bunch doesn’t represent all of MLM in general.

He Had A Bad Upline - One of the worst things someone can do in MLM is bring you into the business and then not be there to help you at all. If uncle Fred had a bad upline the chances of him succeeding are of course lowered. However, just like the last point stated just because one bad person gave him a bad taste in his mouth doesn’t mean that all of network marketing is like that. There are lots of people who will be more than happy to mentor you to success.

He Wasn’t Really Working The System - Sadly the number one reason people fail in MLM is because rather than the business failing them they fail the business! If you’re not doing what your upline tells you to do, if you’re not talking to enough people or if you’re just not trying that hard how can you ever expect to become successful?

So don’t worry about what other people say about network marketing. Just because they had a bad experience doesn’t mean you will. Network marketing is a great way to make money from home. Don’t let bitter old uncle Fred take that away from you!
