What are the 5 Pillars to Success?

When considering joining an MLM company, or even if you are having doubts about a company you already belong to, you need to know how to evaluate that company.

At Mentoring for Free, we use the 5 Pillars to Success for evaluating any MLM company.

  1. Integrity
  2. Timing
  3. Products
  4. Compensation
  5. Duplication

This industry has a 95% failure rate.  Everybody claims to have a system that is easily duplicated.

We would have a 95% success rate if this statement were true.

The reason so many people find themselves struggling in a business is because they ask the wrong questions.

The following questions are those you must ask, and must be answered, for your success.

 

  1. Should you trust the people running this company?  Will they actually pay you?
  2. Are you gambling with your time, effort and money?
  3. Do lots of people want these products?  Can they afford them?
  4. How many people do you need to create your target income?  Not how much money can I make!
  5. How many people will do this?  Not can they, but will they?

Can you answer these questions about your company?  Can your upline sponsor answer these questions?  Can the person working on getting you signed up with the company you are looking at answer these questions?

Can’t seem to get the information you need to make a sensible decision?

I have more help for you.

Send me an  email at mentor.karen.j.miller@gmail.com to request a free audio training on the 5 Pillars to Success.

Ponzi and Pyramids True Definitions

Most people often mistakenly lump Multi Level Marketing (MLM), Network Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Ponzi Schemes and Pyramid Schemes together as one big group of scams.

In reality, network marketing, MLM, and affiliate marketing are different and usually legitimate business opportunities.

Whereas Ponzi Schemes and Pyramid Schemes are illegal scams designed to make the person or people at the top rich and rip off everyone else.

In the MLM industry, a person still has to be careful in choosing an opportunity to join.

Not all businesses are designed the same and not all contracts and policy and procedure are created equally.

It is vitally important that a person understand what makes a company a strong business opportunity for the distributors. 

At Mentoring For Free, we use the Five Pillars and the $10,000 Question to measure an MLM company’s strength.

Whatever yardstick you use to evaluate your company or a company you are considering joining, you must understand what would make it a scam.

 

How To Identify A Scam

An Attorney General would ask these two questions:

  1. Would a logical thinking person pay this much money for the product or service if there was not a business opportunity involved?
  2. Does the income stop when the recruiting stops?

If the answer to the first question is “No” and/or the answer to the second question is “Yes”, then it is a scam.

The word SCAM
brings up Ponzi schemes and Pyramid Schemes.
They are similar and different.

 

A Ponzi Scheme usually targets more affluent people referred to as “investors”.

A Pyramid Scheme targets more of the blue collar section of society.

They are both illegal and designed to rip people off while making the guy(s) at the top rich.

 

Rod Cook of MLM Watch Dog wrote an excellent article about Ponzi Schemes and Pyramid Schemes.

Take the time to read it here: Pyramids and Ponzi Media Reporters.  At the end of the article is some interesting history about Carlos Ponzi.

 

As Rod says, “A good MLM provides goods or services that a consumer would buy if an income opportunity were not included!”
