I'm probably going to catch a lot of flack for this one but here goes...

I want you to think about something for a second.

If it were actually possible to achieve "duplication" without:
telling, selling, explaining, etc..

If it were actually possible to achieve "duplication" without learning how to become a
professional salesperson, or a professional marketer, etc...

Then...

Why would you even need courses and programs that show you how
to grow your business. Especially when these tools probably cost more than the amount
you paid to join your network marketing company

Why would you need to listen to and seek advice from all the gurus out there... (including me)

Would you need us

I mean sure, you would probably want us with regard to personal development or
learning how to really really explode your business, but...would you need us

Imagine if you joined an opportunity and then you did a simple
(and easy) task or two, and within a few days or weeks you got your first check and
it was for several hundred dollars . And after a few short months you starting getting
4-figure or 5-figure checks.

If that were to happen, would you even seek us out

Now, before we continue I need to say a couple of things.

1. I am a 100% advocate of higher learning & personal development

2. The reason I am about to say what I am about to say is because
one of my personality traits is the uncanny need to cut through the
B.S. and be as real with you as I possibly can. And although I may
ruffle some feathers, I truly hope that at the absolute least, you can
appreciate my honesty

OK, back to business...

You have to understand that I am very big on "outside the box" ways
of creating wealth. I'm talking about making money in real estate,
internet marketing, trading stocks or commodities, MLM, etc...

In other words, I'm an advocate of NOT working a 9 to 5 for $30K a
year (unless you absolutely love your job and $30K a year is more
money than you know what to do with ;-)

That being said, there is a difference between network marketing and
all of the other "outside the box" ways of creating wealth that I just described.

You see... with any other form of wealth creation you are in total control.
Your income is not dependant on whether or not Bill or Mary or Sue, can bring people
into your downline.

This difference is the what makes MLM Great and also makes it extremely tough at the same
time. This concept of leverage (everyone just to a little bit and we'll all make a
boatload of money) is what separates MLM from the rest of the opportunities out there.

It is my honest opinion that no other opportunity is as powerful as Network Marketing
(at least on paper)

If you're the kind of person who has the drive, ambition, etc...
to put your nose to the grindstone and make it happen yourself
(in other words if you don't want to be dependant on others)
then I would highly suggest you get out of mlm and become an
internet marketer or a real estate investor.

The reality is that we are lured into MLM Opportunities with the thought that If we
can just recruit "X" number of people then we will be doing very well financially.

We're drawn in by the idea that if we just place enough ads in newspapers or if we
mail enough postcards or if we just drive enough traffic to the website that the company
gave us, we will surely be successful.

But for some strange reason it never seems to work out that way.

I've spoken at great lengths about 'automated systems' and the theory that duplication is
possible but as of the time of me writing this piece, that "dream world" does not seem to
exist.

But if it did....

Would you even be reading this right now
Would there even be a need for you to continue your education

The reason you are part of RenegadeMLMSuccess and the reason
you spend your time, money, and energy on the products and services that gurus provide
is because you are still looking for that magical key to grow your business. You are
still looking for answers. You want to know what the successful people are doing so that
you can copy their actions.

Well, I will let the cat out of the back and tell you that the only thing that separates
"us" from "you" is that we just decided to bust our butts for a long period of time and
stay focused on our main goal.

If you were to take advantage of any of the "training programs" offered by the "Heavy Hitters"
and you were to actually stick with it for 90 days and you were to stay 100% focused then
you know what...

You would in fact see your downline grow.
You would in fact see your bank account grow.

But...

You still wouldn't have achieved duplication.

Think about it for a second. If you were absolutely focused on just buying high quality
leads and making 50 phone calls a day for 90 days straight you would no doubt see a
difference in your business...right

If you were to spend the next 3 months implementing every internet
marketing strategy in the world you would no doubt have a huge
downline...right

Maybe you would even get to the point where you were able to shoot out an email to your
list of subscribers and have 150 people join your network marketing company in less
than 48 hours without having to talk to a single person (like I could probably do if I
wanted to)

But...

Was the goal to recruit 150 and have 99% of those people not
be able to duplicate your efforts

Or...

Was the goal to get 3 who get 3 who get 3 etc...

What we as gurus do to achieve success is not easily duplicated.
YES it is possible to accomplish and YES YOU CAN DO IT!

But it's still not the way our industry was designed.

Me recruiting 300 people and having 13 of those people actually be able to recruit a
handful of others is not a recipe for success.

If you had to go through months of training and education just to be able to recruit
efficiently and effectively; do you honestly expect members of your downline to be
willing or able to do the same thing

Here's what I mean...

If you step back and look at the big (long term) picture for just a moment then you'll
see that even if you are able to recruit dozens of people quickly; chances are that you're not going to be able to expect your downline to just "do what you did"

That's the problem with "learning" how to recruit in the MLM Game

IT'S NOT EASILY DUPLICATED AND THEREFORE YOUR BUSINESS WILL NOT BUILD ON ITSELF...LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO!!

Am I telling you that the information we gurus provide is useless...NO!
Am I saying to stop continuing your education...HELL NO!
Am I saying for you not even bother with buying another educational
program so that you can learn to "explode your downline" ...NO!

What I am saying is that in our industry, we have to be aware that
no matter how good you are at recruiting, If your downline can't
achieve good results quickly, then you WILL NOT achieve the kind
of long term success you desired.

But I will say this...

If you would like to learn how to be able to recruit hundreds of people in your downline
then just take advantage of anyone of the numerous "recruiting systems" out there and
JUST DO IT for a minimum of 90 Days!

Your downline may not be able to totally duplicate your efforts but at least you will
start sticking some money in your pocket.

Just food for thought ;-)
